Although sadly, Graham Stewart did
not get to live in the new house, Linda
says it has proved an ideal home. After
living in three earlier Lockwood homes,
she was already won over by the warmth
of the timber interior and the ease of maintenance – the occasional staining of the
decks is all that is ever required.
Peter Richards, of Peter Richards Builders, the Lockwood franchisee in Taupo,
recently opened a new show home in the
Stewarts’ honour. The Stewart is designed
on similar lines – it also has an extra-large

master suite. Other key features include a
schist stone fireplace, soaring gabled ceilings and a solid blonded wood interior.
For details on this project, contact
Peter Richard Builders, 99 Woodward St,
Nukuhau, Taupo, phone [phone] or

home in Taupo, which offers a slightly extended
version of the Nelson plan, first requested by
owners Linda and the late Graham Stewart. Key
features include a raked ceiling, solid blonded
timber interior and schist stone fireplace surround
and chimney.
Top: Clad in low-maintenance cedar and
aluminium cladding, the home will keep its good
looks for decades to come.
Above: The master bedroom has been enlarged,
just as it was for the original Stewart Lockwood.
