Award Winning Builders

This once T-shaped plain brick home now arcs elegantly northward, creating high-spec places in which to take in sweeping mountain and rural vistas. In doubling the size of the three bedroom house, the builders have crafted a place of comfort and connection.

An entrance framed in warm cedar and with hardboard decking sets the tone. Inside, living spaces are filled with natural light and frame views, but these only whet the appetite for what’s to come. The jewel in the crown of the now five-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-lounge home is a dazzling outdoor entertaining zone with exposed-aggregate patios, adjustable roof louvres, an outdoor fire and a pizza oven.

With its new low-maintenance schist, cedar and crisp white plaster cladding, this home has class to burn, but it also works hard for those who live here and the environment. Sustainability was a key driver of the project and, as a result, the property is energy efficient and future focused. Thirty-two solar panels offer energy self-sufficiency, while a hybrid inverter provides flexibility — infrastructure is already in place for battery storage, should the owners decide to expand capacity. The house is smart, too. Temperature control, security and sound systems are automated. An app-based camera, alarm and smoke-detection system provides remote access. Nothing has been left to chance in this handsome, welcoming and sustainable home with wow-factor.
