Situated on Speargrass Flat Road, this semi-rural space lent itself to creating a serene living zone for the newly retired owners. From the sweeping shingle driveway right up to the cedar and metal clad entrance way, the attention to detail shows all around the build. The designs of the gable ends are indicative of the Central Otago region. In the kitchen, dining, living area are exposed, hand-built timber trusses. Due to the shape of the internal roof space, this added an extra element to the truss build. Using large sectioned laminated timber, laser cut black steel plates and industrial bolts we constructed the trusses on site to complete the look required by client and designer. The trusses and ceiling was finished using a whitewash. The ground floor is fully tiled with underfloor heating throughout. There is a stunning sunroom to the north of the build taking in the views of Coronet Peak, with double bi-fold windows allowing the inside to flow naturally outside. Working together with local craftsmen to create the internal joinery in every room including a fully fitted kitchen, this build became a joy to finish. The last part of the build was the landscaping. This included a hardwood and steel pergola, a greenhouse, vegetable planter areas, pre-cast concrete walls and steps and a built-in BBQ area giving the client everything they would need to enjoy their retirement here in Queenstown.

“Our reasons for appointing Glen Cayless to construct our home in Queenstown was that he could demonstrate excellent quality from previous houses of a similar size and complexity that he had constructed, he conveyed a passion for the project and understood the vision for the house, and previous clients still had a relationship with him long after he had completed their projects. As overseas clients we also wanted a Builder who had experience working with absentee clients, could effectively project manage the build, and had excellent communication protocols. Throughout the 17 month build we were always kept up to date with progress via photographs, regular telephone calls to discuss issues and make decisions, action lists, and emails all supplemented by monthly site visits which would include meetings with key contractors and the Architect as necessary. Glen and his team were always positive throughout the project and nothing was too much trouble in sorting through options and issues as they arose. Our overwhelming view of the build was that Glen clearly understood the vision for the house and would not let anything compromise the quality of the final product. The result is a stunning house which we are proud to call our home. He has continued to help us with other small projects around the home since completion of the build. We would certainly recommend Glen to anyone wanting a builder for a high quality home in Queenstown”
