Architectural Design Service: We
usually design specifically for each client but, you can also start with one of
our standard plans and modify that to suit your needs. When designing a new
home, there’s many different things to be considered, far more than your
average draftsperson usually considers: We will design specifically for your
needs and your site requirements, consider orientation to North, wind
directions, views, shading and other environmental factors. We will work with
you to establish your lifestyle requirements, accommodation needs and once we
have gathered this information we can design a home for you which is not only
‘Timeless in Design’, but which suits your needs exactly. Our experienced
design team can provide you with design advice for New Homes, Alterations and
Additions, Renovations, Restoration, Specialised Lighting Design, Interior
Fit-out, Kitchen and Bathroom design, Hospitality design (Home-stays, hotels,
motels, B&B’s), Commercial and Private Wine Storage, Wineries, Commercial
Kitchens and more. We love houses – old and new, so will happily help you
realise your home design and building dream. We work in any design style you
require. We have many, many years of experience with more traditional
architectural styles. You may like the simplicity of Georgian symmetry;
Neo-classical such as made popular by American Architect, Michael Graves; Victorian
lace, Edwardian grandeur, Gothic or transitional Villa styles; Cape Dutch,
farm cottage or ‘cuddy’. We specialize in really authentic looking
traditional styles but also enjoy working with a modern simplified classical
style. This is where the design follows traditional stylistic shapes, but
with a modern interpretation. This style could be a villa style with little
or no fretwork or a traditional pitched roof farm house with simple finishes
and modernistic decorative features. You may wish to gather photographs or
clippings from magazines to help our designers ‘see your vision’. We do not,
of course, only design in Traditional styles. Nor, do we only design and
build dwellings. The images below show a variety of styles and shows domestic
and commercial projects, some design only, some designed and built. |

These last four images show how
different a home can appear by simply applying a different style to virtually
the same floor layout shape. Really, these two designs could be nearly
identical H-plan or U-plan houses, yet you would not say so by looking at the
two pairs of elevations. The one owner picked uPVC windows, the other
aluminium. One could add mono-pitch roofs and large glass openings and it
could change, as easily, to a very modern style. |

Pre-Land-Purchase Advice: If
you believe you’ve found the perfect bit of land, to build your dream home
then we suggest that you may wish to employ us before your purchase goes
unconditional. There are several good reasons for this: The property may have
ground conditions that will make your new home’s foundations very expensive.
There could be problems with flooding, erosion, access, distance to services,
to name but a few. Unfortunately, a PIM or LIM report will sometimes not show
these things. Your most important investment could be built on very shaky
ground. We therefore recommend that you stipulate, as part of your agreement
to purchase, that the purchase is subject to a satisfactory Engineers Report.
We will appoint the Engineer on your behalf and use the Engineer’s visit to
gather all the information they need to write a report and combine that with
all the information we need to provide you with good, unbiased advice as to
the suitability of the allotment for your project. |

Project Management: Own
plans, own builder? But, Who’s going to manage the project for you? Chances are
– you’ll simply let your builder do it. He or she may need some guidance.
Many ‘builders’ are good carpenters but lack the organisational skills to
manage a whole project. We can do that for you, ensuring that you only pay
for work completed, that all work is completed to a high standard and that
work is done to a program ensuring that the project is completed on time. |

Development Planning Liaison: Planning a subdivision? In many parts of New Zealand,
it’s possible to create allotments that are perfectly legal, in terms of the
local District Plan, but may not be able to accommodate the type of house
you’d like to see on your development. This can have a negative impact on
what you can sell your sections for and could even result in some sections
not selling without having to reduce prices substantially. In many cases,
your Planner or Surveyor may not fully appreciate what style of dwelling
you’d like to see on your sections. We can assist with your development
planning and ensure that you are able to fit the homes you’d like to see in
your development. You may find it hard to believe – but we have several times
now seen developments that are not able to accommodate the type of homes or
even traffic requirements on a lot. Don’t let this happen to you. |

Architectural
Guideline Documents: So, you’ve
created the perfect subdivision. How do you control what the purchasers of your
lots build? Normally, your lawyer will assist you to write up a list of
Covenants. We have seen many, very comprehensive Covenants but, this seldom
helps to produce a ‘classy’ development. What will guarantee your investment
is a detailed Architectural Guideline which is referenced in the covenants.
The covenants will say: “The design of the dwelling shall comply with the
attached addendum, ‘this development
guideline document’ and the design will be verified by Timeless Homes
Limited.” As you sell lots, and when your purchasers build, they then need to
comply with the guideline document and our company can (for a small fee)
verify that the building complies with the Guideline document. We have
substantial experience with drafting these documents and examples can be
supplied. |
