Taranaki Region’s top builds announced
A Strandon home and an Oakura renovation have been announced as this year’s finest Taranaki homes, winning Supreme Awards in the Taranaki Registered Master Builders 2016 House of the Year competition.
Gareth Collins Building Limited won four regional awards with the Strandon home, including the Taranaki Registered Master Builders 2016 Supreme House of the Year, a Gold Award and Category win for the Nulook New Home $650,000 - $1 million Award, and the Heart of the Home Kitchen Award.
David Fabish Limited was awarded the Taranaki Registered Master Builders 2016 Supreme Renovation of the Year, a Gold Award and Category win for the Renovation Award over $500,000.
Judges said the winning House of the Year has been carefully designed; built on a very tight and narrow site amongst other established homes.
“The home is designed with a clever interplay of space and light. The two-storey lounge space is a dominant feature which contains highlight windows creating a dramatic effect and allowing light to flood down into the space,” they said.
“With a combination of brick veneer, black linea board and careful detailing, this home not only reflects the architecture of the neighbouring homes but provides a home designed for comfortable living.”
Judges called the Supreme Renovation a deserving winner, with a clever use of space and product selection.
“A complete transformation of this property into something special has been the result of the home owner, architect and builder working effectively together to achieve the best result.
“The builder has displayed a high level of skill and knowledge to cope with the challenges this type of renovation demands, with a combination of minor and major improvements.”
The results of the regional competition were revealed at a gala dinner on 5 August at the Devon Hotel in New Plymouth. The winning builds were celebrated by members of the Taranaki Registered Master Builders Association and members of the local construction industry.
There were 10 Gold Award winners from Taranaki which will now be judged against Gold Award winners from around the country to find the National Gold Reserve finalists.
National category winners and the Registered Master Builders Supreme Awards for the 2016 House of the Year and Renovation of the Year will be announced at a gala dinner on 26 November at The Langham in Auckland.
The Awards are made possible through the support of PlaceMakers, Master Build Services, GIB, Nulook, Future-Proof Building, Carters, Plumbing World, Resene and Bunnings Trade.
