The Top 100 Homes for the 2025 Master Builders House of the Year Competition have been announced.
House of the Year shines a light on the country’s standout residential builds, celebrating craftsmanship at its peak. This year, nearly 300 projects ranging from small urban spaces to striking architectural homes were entered from seven regions.
Each home faced a rigorous, on-site evaluation by a panel of seasoned judges who drilled into every detail: workmanship, design integrity, aesthetic flair and overall liveability. The result is a perfect showcase of what New Zealand’s best builders can achieve, no matter the challenges.
Master Builders CEO, Ankit Sharma, says the House of the Year awards have showcased the skill and innovation of Master Builders members for more than 30 years.
“Every year the bar gets higher. These awards celebrate the craftsmanship, dedication, and quality our members bring to building homes that New Zealand families are proud of,” says Ankit.
“This year’s Top 100 proves our members are continually lifting their game. From smart material choices and sustainable design to precision detailing, they are delivering excellence at every price point. It is a clear sign the industry is committed to building homes that meet the needs of New Zealanders today and for generations to come.”
The Top 100 homes, representing the best entrants from this year’s regional competitions held throughout July and August, will undergo a second round of judging by the national judging panel. This process will determine the winners of the top awards at the 2025 National Awards Gala, on 22 November in Christchurch.
