Top: Sprawling grounds and
wonderful sea views set the scene
for the high life in this award-
winning Taranaki home. Built by
Fowler Homes, the house won the
Nulook New Homes $600,000 – $1
million Gold Award for the Taranaki
region in the Master Builders House
of the Year Awards.
Above: Luxury is an open master
suite – in this house the freestanding
tub is positioned so the owners can
enjoy the spectacular sea views.
When you have a great view,
large expanses of glazing
are essential, and that is pre-
cisely what’s on offer with this
award-winning Taranaki home
by Fowler Homes.
The home won the Nulook
New Homes $600,000 – $1
million Gold Award for the
Taranaki region in the 2014
Master Builders House of the
Year Awards.
With spectacular water
views on offer, the house
features large picture windows
that frame the view, and a
covered kwila deck for outdoor
entertaining.
On the inside, American
white oak flooring enlivens
the open-plan living area. This
space incorporates a galley
kitchen with a long island.
Comfort is not forsaken
either. Four heat pumps warm
every corner. And there’s a
freestanding wood fire heater
that adds a cosy touch to the
lounge. Electronic controls
allow out-of-reach windows to
be opened wide on hot days.
The master suite on the
upper level is designed as a
retreat. It has an open-plan
layout, with a stone bathtub
positioned right in front of a
large picture window, which
affords dramatic views across
to the ocean.
