CONTEMPORARY, EASY LIVING, RESILIENT

Nestled into the ridge of Bills Drive in Nelson, this warm contemporary home has commanding views of Tasman Bay from every room.
An earthquake faultline running across the front edge of the site and strong prevailing winds were our primary concerns because the home needed to be resilient to protect our clients while also open and light to take in the expansive views.
Our solution was to pull the mass of the home away from the faultline. The living, dining and kitchen make the most of the views and are as light as possible. To provide a protected outdoor area for entertaining, we positioned the master suite to shelter an internal courtyard which opened into the main living space and the rumpus room but maintained a visual connection to the views.
Decking off the kitchen and dining area helped obscure houses in the foreground to create a sense of complete privacy and seclusion.

OUR CLIENTS SAY

It was a great experience to work with Bespoke Architecture. Vincent’s ideas when he saw the site were out of the box and ideal for the location, especially around views and wind protection. His team was easy to communicate with and fast to respond. They were open to include our ideas and preferences. The plans were fantastic and made it easy for the builders to use on site. The team was available for questions and adjustments during the build process. The flow and the feel of the house is amazing and as you walk through each area pulls you into the next in just the right way. The design has captured the beautiful views and made the absolute most of them. We felt valued and well supported as their clients. What we appreciated most was their professionalism which included communication and a wide range of knowledge. We continue to work with them and would highly recommend them.

Architecture, Values, Getting it right

At Bespoke Architecture we get professional satisfaction in meeting the challenges of small and large budgets with creative solutions to build a home that is exactly right for our clients, with no wasted space or unnecessary detail. The difference between average design and great design is usually in the quality of the thinking invested and true understanding of the client’s needs and wants. An excellent relationship is sure to lead to better architecture, so we put energy into that, too.

The extra hours we invest in thinking through options and solutions are rarely billed but they allow us to consistently produce work we’re proud of. And there’s a lot of it. We park our ego at the door every morning and our sole goal is to get it right for our Clients. But we are quietly chuffed that in each of the past five years, our work has won national awards.

So what should you expect from us and why? Excellent architectural design (based on a genuinely caring attitude, strong architectural skills, deep commitment to the work), experienced and pragmatic problem solving (regulatory hurdles always need to be jumped and unexpected site issues will often crop up so we’ve become very effective at managing these), a high degree of responsiveness (clients frequently comment on this). We answer your calls and your questions promptly (fearless discussions), we bring our knowledge, skills, experience, creativity and commitment to every conversation — we’re all trying to achieve an outstanding result for you, after all.

If this sounds good and you’d like to talk to us about your project, we’d welcome your contact. We love architecture and producing an ideal result for our clients is what makes us tick.
