Mitre 10 Trade Craftsmanship Award
FV DESIGN AND BUILD
for a home in Rangatahi Peninsula, Raglan
This home also won the Resene New Home $2 million - $4 million category and a Gold Award.
This outstanding home exemplifies the highest standards of residential design and construction. It demonstrates not only bold architectural ambition but also the technical expertise and discipline required to bring such a complex vision to life.
Despite its generosity in scale, the home maintains a sense of intimacy and warmth. It strikes a rare balance between luxury and comfort, delivering spaces that are not only beautiful but also highly functional and deeply liveable. The palette, proportions, and spatial planning all contribute to a result that feels enduring rather than trend driven.
This is more than an accomplished build. It is a landmark project that sets a benchmark for what can be achieved when vision, skill, and care are brought together at the highest level.
