An elegant, sprawling six-bedroom home in Fendalton has cleaned up at the Registered Master Builders House of the Year awards, taking away not only the grand National Supreme House of the Year prize in the over $1m category but nine regional awards as well, including the Regional Kitchen Excellence, Regional Outdoor Living and Regional Interior Design awards.

In addition to its six bedrooms, the 924sqm estate boasts four bathrooms, three living areas, a bar, games room, eight-car garage and a swimming pool complete with changing rooms. Something as large as this must be carefully designed to sit in harmony with its surroundings and that goal has certainly been achieved here.

Built by Metzger Builders and designed by O'Neil Architecture, the exterior of this home is clad in dark, contemporary tones, with low-slung rooflines and large cantilevered overhangs. The whole house reclines unobtrusively on its 3000sqm site. The interior is opulent but timeless, with solid brass, herringbone timber, marble, stone and textured wallpaper just some of the luxurious details on show.

A new home in Wānaka was the Supreme House of the Year winner in the under $1m category, while a Papakaio country estate took the Supreme Renovation of the Year title.
