‘Z-home’ takes top honours…


REGISTERED MASTER BUILDERS AWARDS SEE INNOVATION, CREATIVITY

Celebrating building excellence for over 30 years, the Registered Master Builders House of the Year competition announced 21 national winners for 2023.

Taking design innovation to a whole new level, this year’s Supreme House of the Year over $1 million winner, nicknamed the “Z-house” is a work-of-art. The resilient new home by John Creighton Builders, was built after the original home on the site fell victim to the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes.

John Creighton Builders won the National Supreme House of the Year over $1 million for its home in Fendalton, along with the New Home over $4 million category.

Judges were in awe of this home’s innovative design. “This unique single storey captivates from every angle. The home sits on a flat site and rises out of the ground like a landmark with its dominant vertical appearance. The structure is cutting-edge, with three wings in the shape of a Z.

“The living and kitchen area make up one wing, bedrooms in the second wing, and garage, gym, and wine cellar in the third. The high-end materials and fit-out leave you spellbound with the high level of specs and finish throughout. the craftsmanship throughout this home is of the highest quality.”
