By Fraemohs Homes
A custom designed, 310 square metre holiday home at Lake Kaniere with a spacious over height double garage. The guiding objective when designing the home was really capturing as much of the ever changing landscape as we could, regardless of the weather, or time of day. Extensive decking on 2 sides of the home for morning and evening sun and views, complemented by living spaces featuring a marvellous uninterrupted gaze over the picturesque lake provide just this.
A feeling of being in separate spaces in the adjoining living and dining areas is created by having varied ceiling heights.
“Others’ architectural plans were either too expensive or otherwise inappropriate… the ambience re the lake views and proximity to the water and future bush landscape have worked out just as intended.”
– Ian, Owner
Monni Fraemohs arrived in New Zealand from Denmark with a passion for Danish design and quality. He was inspired by New Zealand’s natural environment and plentiful exotic timber, and in 1968 he started Fraemohs Homes with a vision to share his passions, and to create homes Kiwis would love.
More than five decades, and thousands of houses both locally and internationally later, we still manufacture the timber for our homes from the same Christchurch site we always have. And while Monni has moved on, Fraemohs Homes remains locally owned and true to Monni’s founding principles; excellence in design, quality, and most importantly helping our customers to love where they live.
Our kitset homes are available nationwide and internationally. Our franchises provide a full design and build service across Canterbury, Otago, Tasman/Marlborough, the Bay of Plenty, Waikato and Wellington. We also have a range of transportable homes built with sustainably grown New Zealand timber.
Fraemohs Homes is a registered Master Builder, and offers a Master Build Guarantee with every home we build.
