Southern
Supreme Winners Announced

On Saturday night we announced the Southern House of the Year winners for 2021. 

This year,  there were 28 beautiful homes entered from around the Southern region. The much anticipated event was celebrated at Bill Richardson Transport World in Invercargill and was a fantastic evening of celebration. We hope everyone who attended had a great night. 

Supreme House of the Year

DCD Limited
For a Home in Queenstown


This home also won the Resene New Home Over $2 Million Category, Pink Batts Craftsmanship Award, Mckenzie & Willis Interior Design Award, APL Sustainable Excellence Award, Plumbing World Bathroom Excellence Award, and a Gold Award.

From the quality of the build to the mastery of the craftsmanship, this house is exceptional. The project team deserve recognition for their dedication, enthusiasm, research and technological understanding. They have created a fantastic home for their client which has taken out multiple award categories tonight. 

This exceptional residence overlooks Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding alpine environment. The simple form of the house belies the complexity, technology, and workmanship required of the build. A standout feature is that the landscape has contributed to the home through the use of materials such as quarried schist from the building site. 

Environmental sustainability has been implemented from the ground up. Quarrying stone from the site for the walls was just the beginning. This large home is energy neutral due to a 20-kilowatt solar array, battery banks, triple glazed windows, sophisticated ventilation systems and passive solar control. It is also completely self-sufficient due to its own water supply, generator and stormwater treatment. This home looks towards the future. A stunning home well deserving of all of the awards they have won.

Supreme Renovation of the Year

DUNLOP BUILDERS
For a Home in Wanaka


This home also won the Bunnings Renovation Over $1 Million Category, and a Gold Award.

While this renovation is in complete character with the original house, it has elevated the home to a new level by adding a minimalist aspect. It is a wonderful addition to a holiday home that embraces and builds upon the original form. There has been a great use of materials and serious attention to detail, resulting in a beautifully finished home.

The extension comprises of an additional bedroom and main living area. Custom-designed steel sliders, carefully curated artwork, slick detailing, and the fireplace makes this home perfect for all ages. This renovation is one that will stand the test of time.
