Raising The Bar
By Design Builders
Smarts and style. You’ll find them in equal measure in this striking family home in the country. Smarts because when you build a house of this standard, you want to make the most of its environment. Maximising 360-degree rural and river views was key for the owners, so the floor level of the 286sqm home was raised up. Ease of entertaining was also a priority. Large doors offer exceptional flow from the open-plan living and kitchen to decking and barbecue areas, and this is where the style comes in. Adding drama is the black kitchen, which stars a 4m-long island with Dekton benchtop and waterfall end, breakfast bar and integrated cabinets that conceal the entrance to a scullery. Adjacent is the wine cellar tucked behind large corner sliders.

About the
Professional
Design Builders create superb one-off homes for our clients, we’ve been doing this for 30 years and along the way we’ve won well over 100 Registered Master Builders House of The Year Awards, including Regional Gold Awards, Best in Category and many more.
Our company’s foundations were laid by our founder, Andy Bell, back in 1992 when we built a new home for our very first client.
We’ve come a long way since then, we’ve grown in size and reputation, yet like anything that’s built to last, we’ve stuck to our original vision and values. We offer New Zealanders something unique – instead of catalogues, templates or pre-existing designs we design and build superb unique homes that express the owner’s personality; a home inspired by the people who will live in it and love it. We call it ‘A home built around you’.
No existing plans, templates, or catalogues. We work with you to create a unique home designed & built just for you, inspired by you.
You might think that a home designed and built the way you want is out of reach. With Design Builders, you can afford to think differently. Our process is built around you, including your budget. Let’s talk.
