Our brief was to deliver a simple, yet elegant, pavilion style dwelling that had a distinctly alpine feel about it. It had to make the best use of the section, while maintaining all day sun and privacy from the street. We kept the 3-bedroom building to a simple L shape with clean roof lines and simple gables at either end.

This L shape also created a beautiful courtyard where you can enjoy all day sun and privacy. Vertical cedar cladding really made this building stand out from the rest of the street. Featuring inside, the open plan living area has high raking ceilings, oak timber flooring, and tongue & groove panelling.   

The bedrooms and bathrooms are understated and simple to match the rest of the dwelling. An extra room was added above the garage using attic trusses and accessed by stairs. This was a great use of available space and to be used for an office or rumpus room. This project had a tight budget but certainly delivered with brilliant design and quality craftsmanship.

About the
Professional

Basham building is a small, boutique building company that specialises in high-end residential homes, passive homes and renovations in Nelson, New Zealand.

We genuinely love carpentry and architecture and pride ourselves on doing the best job possible. We believe “if it’s worth doing, do it once and do it right!”
When we take on your project, we treat it as though we are completing it for ourselves. We aim to have the highest degree of detail and workmanship while not getting the budget out of control. This level of detail isn’t just for our finishing work. We believe our homes should be the warmest, healthiest and least energy consuming homes in the world.

Our clients deserve this! This has led us to adopt the passive house performance standard. We want our homes to be the ultimate in comfort, looks and energy performance.

There is no project too big, too ugly, or too hard for which we cannot do. Above all else we are problem solvers. 

We have experience in: 

  • Passive homes
  • New builds (both architectural and standard)
  • Sip panel houses
  • Prefab houses
  • Complete renovations
  • Bathroom renovations
  • Swimming pools
  • Decks and hard landscaping
  • Timber pole sheds
  • Shearing sheds
  • Eco tech relocatable homes

Being a small company, there is the beauty of you being able to talk directly with the builder, who is onsite and acts as your project manager for the entire project. 

This personal touch ensures the job runs smoothly and you feel good knowing you’re not just a project number on a bigger outfits' books. This also gives you peace of mind that the passive house standard is being genuinely delivered by qualified tradesmen and not just a bunch of rookie apprentices.

We have tiny over heads compared to the big boys which keeps us extremely competitive

As a small business, we see how the local economy benefits from shopping local.

If possible, we aim to use as many local suppliers as we can. Experience has shown that quality control is better when we’re able to work directly with the supplier down the road and ultimately, we wish to keep our carbon footprint as little as possible.

Being aware of the environment includes us using materials with less chemical treatments in them. This makes for a more pleasant situation where we the builders can construct your home without being exposed to hazardous chemically saturated products. It also gives you peace of mind that your home is a safe and healthy place to live.
