Remarkable Wines
“I embarked on this project about six years ago after buying the vineyard. The type of building I was looking for had to be multi-purpose and also be at home in our special part of the world. I started looking and went to one or two trade shows, and Fieldays in Hamilton, to look at a number of barns.”
Despite his searches nothing really appealed until he started doing another web search and came across Customkit. It was a case of love at fi rst sight, especially the classic barn designs on offer and the fact the material used was timber.
“What also appealed is the wide-span that could be used to create spaces in any way one desired. I felt it met the environmental criteria I was looking for as well as the practical side of things. I also liked the fact you could have as much personal input in the design as you wanted.” The design flexibility suited Richard’s
“You go through the process of looking at designs and often don’t really know what you want. It’s only when you start living or working in the area you fi nd things out so the ability to put the exterior up and then think about how the interior might work is a real bonus. The ultimate finished look is very rustic and eclectic but at the same time very functional.”
