A “superbly built home that oozes quality” in Kaiteriteri nailed six awards in this year’s regional Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards.
The house, that is nestled in native bush and overlooks the coastline, was constructed by Contemporary Homes, who took home the Nelson Marlborough and West Coast Supreme House of the Year, the competition’s most prestigious prize.
At the awards last Saturday night, the judges said the home reigned supreme due to its exposed timber rafters, soffits, counter-levered front deck, glazed garage doors, and complex concrete stonework which appealed at first glance.
“Once inside the quality continues with an impressive oak stairway – leading up to the main level, boasting beautifully crafted, oak-framed glass stacker doors, exposed rafters, built-in cabinetry, and generous, well-proportioned rooms,” the judges said.
“The master suite is cleverly designed and separated from the guest rooms by the spacious, centrally-located kitchen, dining, and living rooms which capture the essence of this retreat-like home.
“From design through to the finest details on display, Contemporary Homes should be extremely proud.”
The Moana-based firm also nailed the Pink Batts Craftsmanship, Kitchen Excellence, Higgins Concrete Outdoor Living Excellence Award, Resene New Home $2 million - $4 million, and Gold awards.
Other local winners of major awards at this year’s competition included Nelson-based Scott Construction, You Build, Inhaus and Jennian Homes Nelson Bays for homes in Kaiteriteri, Māpua, Richmond, and Tāhunanui.
