Masterbuilders House of the Year Silver 2018

Completed in 2017, this bespoke home epitomizes good living in a smart, energy-efficient home that is architecturally interesting and aesthetically pleasing.  This accomplishment culminated in industry recognition by being awarded the Masterbuilder's House of the Year Silver 2018.

Local schist rock adorns the formal entry of this beautifully-appointed home, evoking its alpine environment.

A dramatic foyer features a down-lit schist wall and wine display area, with hand-crafted wrought iron door.  Captivating decor and high end design comfortable co-exist with improved performance in this smart home.

Improved window joinery permit the occupants to enjoy the spectacular view to the south without feeling the cold or the winds inherent to the Queenstown winter.  

The increased insulation helps maintain an even, comfortable temperature through all seasons.

Thermostat-controlled underfloor heating ensures a constant temperature, mitigating condensation, even in the bathrooms.  A bespoke basin carved out of a single rock offers organic lines balancing out the stark beauty of the textured tiles.  

Reclaimed space above the garage provides a guest room with charm.  An improved thermal envelope complete with Proclima's vapour check membrane means this attic room is as comfortable as the rest of the home.

A timber ceiling creates intimacy and subdued lighting in the Media Room.  A sleek-lined, reversible ceiling fan circulates air to optimize efficiency and comfort in all seasons.
