On a steep Christchurch site, M O Brown Builders with architectural designers Krush Architecture constructed a home that feels part of the landscape.
Relaxed elegance
Set discreetly within its surroundings, this home designed by Figure & Ground and built by Petrie Construction reveals itself slowly and deliberately, which is exactly the point.
Opening spaces
Striking slatted textures and clever use of courtyards beautifully connects this family home in Johannesburg, South Africa, with its lush and lovely garden.
Into place
Collaboration and craftsmanship define an award-winning Christchurch home built by Hallmark Homes for a couple freshly arrived in Aotearoa.
Take it easy
A new-build family home, designed by Arcline Architecture and built by Hayes Builders, captures the best of semi-rural Auckland.
A long-held dream
Constructed by Dimension Building and designed to last, this off-grid home is a commitment to sustainability at every level.
