House of the Year 2023 Award Haul

House of the Year 2023 Award Haul

Lucy Furniss
Lucy Furniss worked in collaboration with Waikato builders BDC Homes to design an incredible multi award-winning home.

This prestigious competition celebrates building excellence in New Zealand. It awards the best homes and builders and the craftsmanship behind them. Our award-winning entry was titled sustainable and stylish and for good reason. Here are a few of the standout features of this home that was designed with sustainability and style in mind:

 

  • The Xpod flooring system is 100 per cent recyclable, constructed from recycled materials and creating zero landfill waste.
  • The Accoya cladding is made from wood sourced from sustainable forests. An acetylation process significantly increases the durability and sustainability of this raw timber, prolonging its useful life.
  • Cedar was been chosen for its thermal qualities providing good heat conductivity and insulation.
  • This home makes optimum use of indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining with two large stacker doors that open out to the kwila covered-in deck area.
  • The black and cedar exterior colours are stylishly replicated indoors.
  • Statement black fireplace in the main living room.
  • Black wall paint in the secondary living area.
  • Charcoal cabinetry in the spacious kitchen and bathrooms.
