About Shed Living
About Jamie & Shed Living NZ
With over 25 years in the construction industry, Jamie brings a rare blend of hands-on experience and design expertise. He spent more than a decade working on-site as a qualified carpenter and project manager before transitioning into the design sector, where he now leads his successful architectural design and draughting company, J Hunt Architectural Ltd.
Through his design work, Jamie noticed a growing number of clients seeking more than just a shed, they wanted a functional, comfortable space to live in. This inspired him to create habitable shed designs that are both practical and fully compliant, offering a seamless solution that combines thoughtful design with quality construction.
At Shed Living NZ, every project is treated individually. Jamie works closely with clients from the initial concept through to the final build, ensuring a personalised, stress-free experience and a finished space that truly feels like home.
Shed Living NZ is a design and build company started by Jamie Hunt specialising in modern, functional habitable sheds.
