Marlborough/Nelson/West Coast Registered Master Builders 2019 Supreme House of the Year
“This exquisite home has been built with a fine eye for precision. The incredible detailing in this home is a testament to the high level of workmanship. 

“The home has beautifully crafted interior plywood subdividers and ceiling panelling throughout. The cedar weatherboarding frames the impressive views to the surrounding landscape. All these features set this home well above the competition.

“The level of perfection shown throughout the house makes Inhaus more than deserving of the Supreme Award.”

Marlborough/Nelson/West Coast Registered Master Builders 2019 Supreme Renovation of the Year
“This home is a worthy winner, built by master craftsmen.

“Originally built in the 1960’s, this house has had many alterations and additions over time.

“This latest renovation involved reworking the interior and exterior spaces. This ultimately provided a modernised home, all while retaining a familiar charm from the past.

“This was a challenging renovation for the team. Extensive structural concrete and steelwork was required, and the owners lived in the home throughout the entire 12 – month construction period.

“Despite these challenges, the owners were richly rewarded by seeing their ideas come to life throughout the build. 

“Neil Hunt’s team has provided outstanding solutions that has enabled this beautifully crafted home to be brought up to date.”

The results of the regional competition were revealed at a gala dinner on Saturday 3 August at the Marlborough Convention Centre. The winning builds were celebrated by the region’s Registered Master Builders and members of the local construction industry.  

Overall there were 21 Gold Award winners from the Marlborough Nelson and West Coast regions, which will now be judged against Gold Award winners from around the country to find the National Top 100 Gold Award finalists.

National category winners and the Registered Master Builders Supreme Awards for House of the Year and Renovation of the Year will be announced at a gala dinner on 23 November at Cordis Hotel in Auckland. 

The Awards are made possible through the support of Altus Windows, Bunnings Trade, CARTERS, GIB, Master Build Services 10 Year Guarantee, PlaceMakers, Plumbing World, and Resene.
