Mid and South Canterbury region’s finest home builds announced
9 August 2019
An impressive home in Twizel has been recognised as the best new build in this year’s Mid and South Canterbury Registered Master Builders 2019 House of the Year competition.
The home’s builders, Dimension Building, also swept up the CARTERS New Home $1 million - $1.5 million category, and the Plumbing World Bathroom Excellence Award.
Judges were impressed with the home’s incredible views and high level of craftmanship.
“This very well thought out home takes full advantage of the magnificent site and views over Lake Pukaki and Aorangi / Mt Cook. The house is perfectly positioned to frame individual views with its angled forms. It also creates shelter from the elements for a dynamic outdoor living area that connects the various spaces and levels.
“The simple nature of the forms and cladding disguises the complex junctions, detailing and finishing.
“Dimension Building have created a unique and highly crafted home that expresses confidence and skill in its execution. It is a testament to the skill and workmanship of the team.”
The results of the regional competition were revealed at a gala dinner on Friday 9 August at Caroline Bay Hall in Timaru. The winning builds were celebrated by the regions Registered Master Builders and members of the local construction industry.
Overall there were 12 Gold Award winners from the Mid and South Canterbury area, 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.
