Cable Bay

12 years of getting ready and moving from farm to lifestyle in a location that had special memories for the owners.

This modern home architecturally designed by internationally acclaimed  Jeremy Smith of Irving Smith Architects fits against the rocky hillside on a narrow building platform.  Fitting into its surroundings seamlessly with numerous angles.  Featuring an internal fluted concrete beam running the length of the house.  A cedar screen wraps the home to give a woolshed feel.  This home certainly has WOW factor with breathtaking views to match.

Testimonial

“Cable Bay house as a project was 12 years in the planning so securing the right builder was important to us. After recommendation, we met Jason and were impressed with his professionalism and enthusiasm for our project. We collaboratively reviewed the build and together we came up with great value engineering solutions to ensure the build was on budget and that we enhanced the view and feel we wanted to achieve in this home.

During the build process, Jason communicated excellently with us and held very high standards of his staff and the subcontractors onsite in terms of quality, cost and time management. This build incorporated multiple and varying angles, pitches and floor levels all on an elevated site, a project most builders would not comprehend; however with Jason and his team, they made this build very enjoyable process and something we felt part of which was important to us.

We would have no hesitation recommending Jason for a wide range of building projects along with architectural new builds.”
