Regional and Gold Award Winner 2022

Smart, stylish and compact, this petite home packs plenty into its 73sqm footprint. A secondary dwelling on an established section in Cambridge, it’s full of inspired storage solutions and a delight to inhabit. Intelligent design and a contemporary combination of materials add up to much more than you’d expect, including two bedrooms and two living areas.

The second storey accommodates a bedroom and generous office space. Downstairs, a bedroom opens to the outdoors through full-height sliders. Large windows, sliding glass doors and skylights allow natural light to flow in freely throughout the home.

The kitchen, living and dining area is a cohesive space and full of storage smarts. Cabinetry-concealed appliances keep the area streamlined, which supports the minimalist design vibe. For a blissful spot to relax, put your feet up on the window seat, which also provides amble storage.

Low-maintenance coloursteel cladding and plywood interior walls make this little beauty practical, as well as lending a thoroughly contemporary design edge.

WINNING CATEGORIES: Waikato Regional New Home up to $500,000. Waikato Gold Award.

Josh has been building since he left high school and now often spends most of his time project managing and assisting where he can in the design phase. He enjoys the challenges of technical builds and learning about new products in the market. Married to Hannah with four children, they enjoy time away at the lake and beach. In his spare time Josh likes to play golf and get out into the wild to explore. Hannah was a statistics math teacher for ten years and thoroughly enjoyed seeing her students learn; she's been studying quantity surveying in construction for the last three years. Her math background has been an enormous advantage and she assists with takeoffs and estimating. On her time off, she enjoys spending time with her four children and doing bush walks.Exceptional service, with a positive build experience We’re an independent family-owned building company that believes your new home build doesn’t have to be stressful or hard.
