Canterbury
Supreme Winners Announced

On Friday night we announced the Canterbury House of the Year winners for 2021. 

This year,  there were 73 beautiful homes entered from around the Canterbury region. The much anticipated event was celebrated at the Airforce Museum of New Zealand and was a fantastic evening of celebration. We hope everyone who attended had a great night. 

Supreme House of the Year

CLIVE BARRINGTON CONSTRUCTION
For a Home in Fendalton

This home also won the Resene New Home over $2 Million Category, and a Gold Award.


Combining design with functionality and excellent workmanship has resulted in this fantastic home. From the foundations, the precast concrete walls, to the complex roof structure, the accuracy of this builder is clear. While this home created some major construction challenges, the builder relished in delivering a home of supreme quality and merit.

The curved plywood ceilings interact flawlessly with the window joinery, and the wall and floor finishes are of the highest standard. An audacious copper roof flows over a double storey sleeping wing and two separate living wings, while at the ground level three concrete wings project out of or recede into the shelter of the soaring copper canopy above.

The interplay between the freeform roof and the concrete creates an architectural drama that enlivens this house inside and out. This building is inspiring, it features a clever design, meticulous attention to detail and an accurate construction.

Supreme Renovation of the Year

PREMIUM HOMES
For a Home in Cashmere

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



This was a comprehensive repair and renovation of an earthquake damaged home. No less than 48 engineers inspected the house at different times to assess the damage and design solutions.

The 1950’s Art Deco home was lifted 2.5m into the air and propped while the foundation and floors where reconstructed. The challenge for the builders was to retain and enhance the character of the much-loved home while undertaking needed repairs. It was covered in a waterproof tent while the schist stone was carefully removed, stored, and refitted.

The team worked with the client to distil the essence of the original character and bring a stronger coherence to the design. The complexities were exacting but they succeeded admirably. They should feel proud of the high standard of work that they have produced for the homeowners.
