Preserving craftsmanship and heritage. Timber homes and trusses built with patience, care, and integrity.
Barn Homes for all Seasons
We hand select the finest trees available from plantations near our farm in Hawke's Bay - Douglas-fir or Macrocarpa often, but various exotic and specialty species like Japanese Cedar and English Oak also. We fell the trees, grade, mill and dry the timber in our yard. When a design is settled on, our team hand craft every piece of timber to the finest degree. We live and breathe timber. Tradition is in our blood. Simplicity and heritage are how we live. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing to the best of your ability.

Architects
We co-create architectural experiences. Our expertise in mortise and tenon joinery and bespoke timber systems allows architects to deliver spaces where structure becomes art.
What legacy are you building?
More than a few people said we were crazy when we laid out our plans to build mortise and tenon barn homes around New Zealand, the old-fashioned way with a chisel and mallet.
For generations to come.
"From start to finish, the experience has been outstanding. Even now, every time we walk through the doors, we’re still struck by the wow factor. With our strong affinity for Japanese design, we wanted to merge that aesthetic with Kiwi and Scandi influences – and Heritage Timber Craft brought that vision to life beautifully. We honestly don’t think we would have achieved this result through a traditional building company. The craftsmanship, creativity, and attention to detail exceeded our expectations at every step."

Feature article - About mortise and tenon
While many modern timber houses use engineered or interlocking systems designed for speed and efficiency, traditional mortise and tenon timber framing represents a very different philosophy of building.
