Not every build needs to look the same. 

Some people want personality — texture, timber, light.

Spaces that make you feel something. We build those.​


From custom studios and garage conversions to tiny and modular homes.

At Zest Nest Alternate Homes, design and construction thinking start in the same room.

 

Kirk (our founder) is both builder and draftsman - in that order - which means spatial ideas, build-ability, site realities and cost direction are considered at the same time - providing clarity from the beginning.

"People often see a small space as a challenge, I see it as an opportunity. ​No space is too small to be functional and full of potential."
