Three Havelock North homes have been praised for their “seamless blend of style” after scooping multiple awards in the regional Central North Island Master Builders House of the Year Awards.

The competition showcases the best in residential building and celebrates excellence in design, craftsmanship, and construction.

Davcon’s Havelock North home in Hill Country Estate was awarded the Supreme House of the Year over $1 million category.

The home took out multiple award wins, including the coveted Mitre 10 Trade Craftsmanship Award, New Home over $4 million category, Plumbing World Bathroom Excellence Award, Outdoor Living Excellence Award, and a Gold Award.

Davcon builder Jules Davis said he was proud of the team that managed to complete the build during the pandemic, which included a six-month pause.

“With it being such a big build, we had to deal with two covids, one cyclone and a couple of Christmases… and the most vicious inflation I can ever recall in the building industry.”

Davis said the house was designed by Sumich Chaplin Architects and attributed its success to that, along with the work by the team to bring it to life.

Judges said every element was purposefully considered, from the effortless flow between family zones and private retreats to the dramatic use of stone that anchors the home with strength and permanence.
