For one young Wānaka family, their dream of a sustainable home built for views and light was brought to life by Eliška Lewis Architects and Dunlop Builders.
All in Kitchen
A place to be together
For three generations of a family, this thoughtfully designed holiday home, by Stufkens and Chambers Architects, ticked all the boxes with its clever use of space.
The great escape
Interior designer Lisa Storer’s modern farmhouse outside Johannesburg blends rustic warmth with industrial simplicity to create a happy home for her family.
Family retreat
The owners of this spacious family sanctuary by Signature Homes set out to create a relaxed holiday feel, and the stunning results have more than exceeded their expectations.
Better than ever
The dream of a relaxed, hillside lifestyle led to this outstanding transformation in Cashmere, from an unassuming 1990s plaster home to this sleek cedar-clad renovation from DJ Hewitt Builders.
The big picture
Beauty and sustainability combine in this award-winning home on the banks of the Wairarapa stream in Merivale, the pride of a 40-year career for its owners from Home Trends Builders.
Perfection at the pinnacle
A young family enjoys this elegant, substantial home from Gregg Architectural Builders on one of the highest residential streets in Mt Pleasant, making the most of the views and the environment.
Consistently calm
“A sense of calm” was how judges summed up this New Zealand Institute of Architects award-winning home – a collaborative approach by John Creighton Builders and Rural Workshop Architecture. We couldn’t agree more.
In pursuit of paradise
A simple brief to Barry Connor Design led to the creation of this brave and bold home built by JM Bint Construction. It’s a unique place to relax and marvel in the Mackenzie Country.
A sense of adventure
A love of the environment and the great outdoors inspired this elevated Mt Pleasant home. Borrmeister Architects and Parker Construction can be proud of this max-view, hilltop sensation.
Outside In
Set among heritage villas in a tree-lined street of central Blenheim, this beautiful home from T&D Construction and Borrmeister Architects makes a sympathetic modern statement.
Just right for two
Not too big, not too small. When the owners of this Mt Pleasant beauty couldn’t find the two-bedroom home they wanted, they worked with John Ross Architectural Builders to build their gorgeous, compact new home.
Destined to be different
