JOB OVERVIEW

Baird Built Ltd — Small Structure Design Competition
A design competition for OnlineJobs.ph — win NZD $400 + ongoing paid work
The opportunity

Baird Built Ltd (New Zealand) is looking for a talented concept designer. Submit one striking concept image, and you could win cash plus an ongoing paid design role.

Prize: NZD $400, PLUS the paid job of developing your design further, with likely ongoing paid work after that.

How it works:

Submit your concept.
We shortlist the best 4.
We post the 4 finalists on social media and the public votes — most votes wins.
What to design

A small transportable structure, under 30m², with a clear purpose — for example a sleepout, studio, guest suite, or glamping unit. Not a vague "small house": pick one specific purpose and design for it.

It should be:

Unusual and eye-catching — something that makes people stop and look twice
Purposeful — every unusual feature should have a reason, not just look cool
High-end — this is for a premium market, so use premium materials and finishes (timber shingle, slate, standing-seam metal roofing). Avoid materials like fibre-cement that read as budget in NZ.
Low maintenance — high-end doesn't mean high upkeep. Choosing durable, low-maintenance materials and details is a genuine selling point for a buyer, so factor it in alongside the look.

Here is an idea and our current top runner this will be included in the competition along with a floor plan. ----------

Quick NZ tips (please read — this trips up a lot of overseas designs)
New Zealand is in the Southern Hemisphere — the sun comes from the north, not the south. Put your main windows and living space facing north.
NZ is cold, not tropical — insulate well and use double glazing.
NZ had a "leaky homes" crisis — keep roof overhangs and cladding details simple and well-drained, complex high risk claddings can be a negative (our current image is high risk but we will let the public vote on that).
We can transport up to 4.5m wide and 3.6m high — bigger than a standard load, so feel free to think big. Multiple bolted-together modules are welcome too.
What to submit

Just one marketable concept image (render, sketch, or similar), a simple floor plan, plus a couple of sentences on the purpose, what makes it unusual, and why it's low-maintenance.
