Award-winning two-story family home featuring five bedrooms, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and a stunning saltwater pool, designed by Respond Architects and built by G Donaldson Builders.

Winning Gold and a spot in the Top 100 Homes in the Master Builders House of the Year for 2023, this stunning two-story family home boasts five bedrooms, a double garage, living and entertaining areas that easily flows outdoors to a swimming pool and generous outdoor area. Key to any family home.

Details

Negative detail ceilings sore to 4.5 metres allowing plenty of space for large windows to maximise the light and give the home a sense of space.

The exterior showcases clean, tidy lines with smooth pine battens which meet a very tidy Vitex tropical hardwood decking, all of which marry nicely with the surrounding landscape.

The kitchen and living area easily flow through to the outdoors which was important to the family environment. This is achieved via a massive stacker door system, with extra attention applied to making the house perfectly flush with the decking and landscaping.

The home has a pavilion area with a high ceiling and custom sound system, with doors that open under a cedar soffit.

The floors are engineered hardwood, able to withstand the indoor antics of young children.

The pool, built by Custom Design Pools, is salt water with a 45-degree angle wall with sapphire stone copings and features glass mosaic tiles. The pool has been finished with ‘Bay of Island’ pool pebble by NZ pool Pebble.

“I’ve seen Gary Donaldson and his team at work on local building projects for some time. I’ve been impressed with his work ethic and the final result, sometimes even through very challenging weather conditions. I approached Gary regarding building a substantial extension to our family home. Right from the start, the things that stand out are Gary’s communication skills, explaining the steps, processes and timelines required for our build project. Gary provided us with a build cost estimate prior to starting. We were well informed all the way during the building process and didn’t have any extra surprises at the end. Gary has an excellent team of people that “crack on” and get the job done right first time. I recall listening to his team’s laughter, friendly banter and positive communications from the start of the day until the days work was done, every day. Gary is well organised and kept the project moving forward with materials arriving prior to being required and his specialist sub trades contacts to take the project to the next stage. Tania & I are both delighted with the quality of workmanship delivered and the building experience we had with Gary Donaldson Builders and his team. They project was completed on time. They all worked hard and did a great job. We would have no hesitation in recommending Gary Donaldson for any building projects and when we have our next building project we will be talking once again to Gary about our new plans and engaging in his services. We have built a few new homes and renovations in the past. We found that based on the above points, Gary Donaldson’s company has been the best company to deal with. If anyone would like to view this build that Gary has completed for us we’d be proud to show you and talk directly.”
