Jose Gutierrez

This house has retained the timeless character of a heritage cottage and added a modern open gable to the rear of the property. The design makes great use of natural light and space, thanks to the vision of Jose Guiterrez (Jose Gutierrez Architects). We love the combination of old and new in the building overall. The light filled spaces within the high gabled extension, combined with the homes unique details and styling will take your breath away. 

Building features: open gable roof created with steel portals and lined with tongue and groove panelling, large sliding doors hidden in a wall, and opening onto the deck, a sunken lounge space with a concrete hearth, fire and cedar screens, oak kitchen, mosaic tiled bathroom with brass fittings.

About the
Professional

We are professional qualified builders of architectural homes and shop fits-outs.

Crate was established in 2013 by brothers James Strachan and Fraser Strachan after 20+ years experience building in New Zealand and overseas.

We provide detailed, accurate job costings and pride ourselves on adherence to your budget, working closely with your architect and suppliers.

Our projects range from residential new homes, residential additions and alterations, working with heritage or new buildings as well as light commercial, shop fit outs, furniture and cabinet making.

The Crate workshop in Kingsland gives us the ability to fabricate and prefabricate parts of the build off-site. The high stud warehouse enables an entire house to be prefabricated or elements including framing, steel fabrication, joinery and cabinetry.

We have a passion for building and work to a high standard that we hold everyone at Crate to work to. We have experience in a wide range of construction techniques and we love doing things that are different and challenging, pushing the boundaries and trying new things.
