Architectural homes

What Is Architectural Housing?

Architectural housing projects demand joinery that performs as well as it presents. These builds are often led by precise plans and custom specifications, where material quality, design accuracy, and installation timelines are critical. JB Joinery supports this process by collaborating early, identifying risks, and delivering finished joinery that integrates seamlessly with the broader construction programme.

Custom Kitchens
& Islands

We manufacture custom kitchen cabinetry and central islands for function and visual impact. Each element is built to the highest specification, from kitchen cupboards to hardware fittings. We also craft kitchen cabinet doors with in-house spray finishing to ensure consistency across all surfaces. Our team advises on timber options and layout solutions to support both daily use and long-term durability.

PANTRIES & SCULLERIES

Our team delivers custom pantries and sculleries that complement kitchen design while meeting project space and storage requirements. Every unit is built to specification, including options for shelving, cabinetry, benchtops, and finishes. Whether the goal is visibility or discretion, we align with the design intent while supporting practical delivery.

BATHROOM VANITIES 
& STORAGE

JB Joinery produces fully customised vanities and bathroom storage that are moisture-resistant, highly durable, and tailored to project needs. Each bathroom cabinet is built in-house to match project details, with finishing options that support consistency across spaces. As a trusted supplier of bathroom cabinets NZ-wide, we coordinate benchtop, stainless, or acrylic components to meet functional and aesthetic expectations.

Why Choose Joinery for Architectural Homes?

Architectural homes require a level of craftsmanship and control that standard cabinetry cannot provide. JB Joinery offers full internal production for all timberwork, including spray lacquering, staining, and painting. Our team mitigates common risks like incomplete plans, unclear specifications, and material lead times through upfront assessments. We also manage specialist subcontractors to deliver seamless outcomes for stainless steel supports, stone benchtops, and upholstery items. This approach gives contractors and architects confidence that detailing will be respected and timelines met.

WARDROBES & 
WALK-INS

We design and manufacture wardrobes and walk-in joinery that balance access, storage, and aesthetics. Our wardrobe organiser solutions are tailored to the layout, with drawers, shelving, and integrated lighting options. From sleek built-ins to detailed cabinetry, we ensure that each installation provides functional cupboard storage without compromising a bon finish or spatial clarity.

FEATURE WALL PANELLING

Feature wall panelling adds warmth and identity to high-end residential interiors. We produce custom wood panelling for interior walls that our NZ clients rely on for quality and consistency. Each panel is manufactured using solid timber, veneer, or composite materials to align with architectural details and installed with care to achieve a seamless finish.
