Moss Brothers Housing has a range of about 30 different brochures,
which give options on size and style. From one-bedroom sleep-outs
to seven or eight bedroom homesteads, from having one veranda
on the front to having verandas on all sides, also including
two or more storeys. But we know that we could have thousands
of styles and floor plans and there still may not be one to suit
your particular needs, family requirements or building site.
So we stress that all of our brochures and specifications are
designed to be thought-starters that can be massaged into shape
around what's important to our clients, while incorporating our
classical New Zealand 1900s replica and reproduction designs.
The artists view on the front of each Moss Brothers brochure
(see section “Plans & Designs) and the floor plan on
the reverse page are designed to match. We understand that although
there might be a style you like, you may need to adjust the floor
plan to suit your site and personal requirements; or pick out
particular features of a preferred style and use them to generate
the overall theme. Moss Brothers architectural design guru and
drafting team will work with you and your ideas to achieve your
most desired result.
It's now possible and very cost effective to build a new home
that has all of the advantages and benefits that goes with using
modern construction materials, methods and techniques while still
capturing the warmth and charm of the early New Zealand colonial
villa home.
With a new character home you can still enjoy the feeling of
space when you build new with a 2.7 – 3.6m (9 or 12ft)
high ceiling while finding it easy to heat and be able to benefit
form the heat you've generated. Heat loss is a real problem and
disadvantage with the original older villa house construction
because they can be so draughty and contain little or no insulation.
Our design team can explain the options and methods of heat control
with a high ceiling, just phone Moss Brothers on our free help
