“Quality finish is something that has always been important to me, and there’s something about building with repurposed raw materials like hardwood sleepers that I just love.”

Meet Ben Kent, he’s the head honcho of the Abode Architectural Build team. Originally from the mountains of Wales, he’s been living in and loving the mountains of Queenstown for about 20 years.

Ben’s building experience covers multiple multi-million dollar builds, from steep shores of the Shotover River to the slanting slopes of Jack’s point to the recent development of Hanley’s farm.

A family man and an adventurer, Ben explores the wilds with bikes, jetboats, his love and two kids.

If you could walk through all the homes Ben has built, you’d see some things in common. An attention to detail that is astonishing, and it’s those sorts of details that make your home so much more than what you’d typically get. Schist walls, inside stone features, ironwood and other hardwoods, rough wood clad interior doors, inbuilt steel fire boxes that are shaped in such a way they’re a piece of sculpt all on their own… It’s these sorts of details that make for a home that’s well, in line with your dream.

The best way to find out more about Ben and his passion, his focus and his story is to get in touch with him! Give him a call or email him about an upcoming project you have and you’ll find out just how his building experience and expert eye aligns with your requirements.
