Supreme House of the Year - Over $1 million
GARETH COLLINS BUILDING
For a Home in New Plymouth
This home also won the Resene New Home $2 million - $4 million Category, Pink Batts Craftsmanship Award, The Gas Hub Kitchen Excellence Award, Outdoor Living Excellence Award, and a Gold Award.

The extraordinarily beautiful beachside location demanded a special response, resulting in the delivery of a truly magnificent home. It blends effortlessly with its surroundings through the use of simple forms and greyed cedar cladding. The Gareth Collins Building team’s skill is evident throughout in their adept handling of the home's resilience against the elements, while simultaneously showcasing sophisticated and minimalistic design details. This exceptional construction embodies the essence of the Supreme building award, delivering a breath-taking home of remarkable craftsmanship.

Supreme House of the Year - Under $1 million
REDMOND BUILDERS
For a Home in Hastings
This home also won the Altus Window Systems New Home $750,000 - $1 million Category, Resene Eco.Decorator Interior Design Award, and a Gold Award.

This wonderful boutique country lodge is based in the highly regarded wine region of the Tukituki River valley and stands as a testament to the synergy achieved through collaboration. It embodies the vision of the owner, a designer with the skill to realise that vision, and a builder who wholeheartedly embraced the project to bring the vision to life. Reminiscent of the old rustic farm stables, the exterior uses board-and-batten and corrugated steel roofing. Continuity of the rustic theme within includes repurposed aged pine cladding from the original stables for wall linings and aged hardwood in the trusses and finishes. The Redmond Builders team has exemplified the impact that teamwork can have in creating a truly exceptional building.

This supreme building renovation is a glamorous addition to an already remarkable house, perched high above Esk Valley and offering spectacular ocean views. An impressive 70 square metre cabana services an equally impressive in-ground infinity swimming pool, spa, and courtyard, transforming the space into a sanctuary reminiscent of a luxurious resort. The Davcon team’s meticulous craftsmanship and expertise shows in every aspect of this project, resulting in an extraordinary masterpiece. Their attention to detail and precision showcased throughout the renovation is a testament to their exceptional skill and dedication.
