The Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards is the building industry’s most prestigious competition and the competition is fierce. This year saw builders from throughout the country do battle for gold, silver and bronze awards across both new and renovated builds in a number of categories.
This year the team at Navigation Homes Counties came away with GOLD in the Master Build 10 Year Guarantee Multi Unit (Apartments/Duplexes/Terrace Housing) category and the team could not be prouder.
Each property is judged against a scorecard of 2000 points (1300 Workmanship and 700 Design, Style and Functionality). Multi Unit properties are judged (1100 Workmanship and 900 Design, Style, Functionality and general consideration). Properties are then awarded either Gold, Silver, Bronze or no award.
It is easy to see why. These duplex homes are eye-catching and super-modern, and make a stylish statement in the local Paerata Rise neighbourhood. Contrasts are used to dramatic effect. The cladding exterior of grey schist, golden timber and dark paneling is both attractive and attention-grabbing and inside wood-grain kitchen cabinetry and moody-hued additions such as feature walls are used as accents in these light-filled, airy homes.
Each mirror-image house has four bedrooms, three large living areas, two bathrooms and a powder room.
Downstairs, the kitchen – with its island and scullery – flows to dining and living areas. It’s the undisputed heart of the home. There’s also a large apron of hardwood decking that extends from the living area. There’s more space to relax or find me time upstairs, including another living area. The bedrooms in these 235sqm homes are spacious and the main suite has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. With internal-access double garages, double-glazed joinery and evidence of the builders’ skills wherever you look, this is also a highly desirable duo.
You’d be hard pressed to find a better set-up for catering to the family and entertaining so come and visit the home for yourself and see how Navigation Homes can create a home tailored for you that excels in workmanship, innovation, and creativity.
