This home was a legacy of love for the homeowners as well as the builders. The homeowners wanted to be hands-on during the build; as an engineer, they custom made the concrete benchtops, the vanities and the lighting in the living room. The home is situated atop of the Bombay Hills, looking out over the North Waikato. 

Nick Bosanac Builder’s stunning modern build is set atop the Bombay Hills, overlooking the Waikato. While this home is a mono-pitch, it sure isn’t mono-dimensional.

The slight boomerang in the layout of the design positions the home perfectly to take in all the stunning south-easterly views. Clad in hand-charred Larch and randomised width and depth cedar, this gorgeous detailing creates a bespoke look to ensure this home is an envied treasure.

The vision of two young professionals, this home reflects an innate desire for convenience and livability, expressed with clean lines and precise detail. Modern appliances and a walk-in pantry star in the expansive kitchen. Honed concrete floors are attractive and energy-efficient underfoot, natural cladding materials lend the polished design a down-to-earth edge.

Soaring ceilings create a sense of grandeur inside, enhancing the feeling of space on a relatively modest 204 sqm. Feature lighting pendants and other fixtures highlight the sense of volume. Large picture windows capture 180-degree views of the surrounding valley, while the remainder of the home is sheltered by native bush.

A total of four bedrooms allow for alternate living configurations. Guests are easily accommodated in this setup. The large main bathroom and master ensuite complement the overall aesthetic, with streamlined furnishing, feature finishes and a touch of natural charm.
