The Canterbury Supreme House of the Year Winners are.....🏘️

14 August

On Friday night we announced the Canterbury House of the Year winners for 2023. 

This year,  there were 38 beautiful homes entered from around the Canterbury region. The much anticipated event was celebrated at the Te Pae Convention Centre and was a fantastic evening of celebration. We hope everyone who attended had a great night. 

Supreme House of the Year - over $1 Million 

JOHN CREIGHTON BUILDER
For a Home in Fendalton

 



This home also won the New Home over $4 million category, Pink Batts Craftsmanship Award, Plumbing World Bathroom Excellence Award, BLUM Kitchen Excellence Award, and a Gold Award.

This beautiful 950 square metre home captivates with its striking features. An impressive, curved brick wall encloses a triangular arrival court, leading to a sculpted entrance with a vaulted brick arch. The wall transitions into a perforated brick screen for privacy while allowing light into the bedroom wing. Inside, oak joinery and panelling soften the brick and concrete finishes, accompanied by a cedar battened ceiling with specialised acoustic fabric that dampens reverberation. Exquisite full-height steel windows and doors complete the exterior.

The central kitchen, casual dining area, and sunken conversation pit form a relaxed family area, while secluded dining and living rooms extend into the garden. The Z-shaped plan cleverly divides public and private areas. This is a home of substance with an exceptional build quality to match from the John Creighton Builder team!

Supreme Renovation of the Year

MILNE CONSTRUCTION
For a Home in Merivale

 



This home also won the Renovation over $1.5 million category, McKenzie & Willis Interior Design Award, and a Gold Award.

Completed to the highest standard, this two-storey bungalow has been rebuilt and restored, following damage from the earthquake. The builder has demonstrated skill, craftsmanship, problem solving and a great deal of patience to complete this renovation. The build process took three years to complete – some of the major challenges included rebuilding the foundation, along with lowering and recladding most of the exterior walls.

Despite these challenges Milne Construction have pulled off a beautiful renovation that they should be proud of.
