Welcome to the Straw Mansion, the unusual home described by Chris Moller (host of Grand Designs NZ) as a “mansion” build from straw. Mike and Catherine are working together to build this curved sculpture featuring a unique fly over roofs and curved walls that reflect the geometry of Central Otago's landscape. Catherine is one of New Zealand's first woman Joiners and has huge enthusiasm for native and recycled timbers and just loves working in her well equipped workshop to create wonderful wooden creations. Mike has a design and building background, and enjoys working with wood to create anything from unusual homes to unique pieces of jewellery. Together Mike and Catherine invite you to visit their website and explore their range of artistic products and services that you may enjoy to have.
The Straw Mansion is the name given to the home being build by Mike and Catherine that has been featured on Grand Designs New Zealand. It has a very distinctive curvaceous design that features straw walls and natural earth plaster finish. Find out more about the Straw Mansion
Wood crafts made by Mike and Catherine range from tea light holders through to elegant platters and cheese boards. These pieces are inspired by Central Otago’s recycled and native timbers that reflect elegant design and function that would be suitable for any ones home or mansion.
Recycled timbers that have been etched by time and opened up to reveal their unique character and colours are carefully chosen to create furniture that will become family heirlooms. Their timeless character, elegant design and solid construction are the theme of Straw Manion’s furniture.
Jewellery that looks like jade and timber have evolved together make a very unique and special material to craft beautiful pendants, earrings and key rings. The designs reflect contemporary New Zealand symbols and nature and provide visitors' with a warm memory of their stay.
Are you looking for something different? something unique? something that is curved? something that is solid? something made from beautiful native or recycled timber? Catherine and Mike are happy to design and craft a special piece of joinery for your home or project that you will be proud of.
