Architecture & Craftsmanship Driven to create surfaces that make a living environment feel good to live in, we believe the tactile nature of plaster cladding is unrivaled.

The construction process contains many facets which when combined, and applied accurately make for a shining, and durable example of the construction process - from the clients, Architecture, through to the selection of products, and the professional trades people that apply their skills to the installation and finishing of these components.

At Resene Construction Systems we only promote the best products, solutions and practice for each and every project we work on.

HOUSE OF THE YE AR 2021

Welcome

to the Registered Master Builders House of the Year 2021 magazine for the Canterbury Region Once again, the prestigious Registered Master Builders House of the Year competition has attracted hundreds of top-quality entries from around New Zealand. These new builds and renovations have wowed our expert judges, who are all leaders in the fields of construction and architecture. We hope you enjoy this annual showcase of craftsmanship from the Master Builders in your region.

The results go live at www.houseoftheyear.co.nz on July 31.

John Hamilton, President | Registered Master Builders Canterbury Branch

How the Registered Master Builders House of the Year competition works All entries are awarded points by two judges (a builder and an architect). The projects with the highest scores are given Gold Awards and the best become Category winners. Then, the highest points-scoring Category winners are named Local Supreme House of the Year or Local Supreme Renovation of the Year.

Entries are judged on building excellence, but also on their lifestyle value, so you’ll also see kitchen, bathroom, outdoor living and sustainable home awards.

Excellence in workmanship is recognised by the coveted Craftsmanship Award. The Canterbury Region competition, one of 11 regional House of the Year events, is held on July 30. You can see all of the results at www.houseoftheyear.co.nz from July 31.

The art of the home

A house is simply a place to live, but we’re in the business of building homes – one-of-a-kind expressions of our clients’ personalities where people come together, make memories, tell stories and thrive in each other’s company. A great home is more than just walls, ceilings and floors – it’s a sanctuary, a showpiece, a statement and a stage; the result of creative vision, craft, experience and the right people coming together to construct something truly exceptional.

That, is the art of the home.

I would ‘Every sewing, Nicola love to see daring interiors home should Elsaka was always drawn like those created in the 70s. have a heart to interior design. After I don’t know if I would go as where family can training in Christchurch, far as patterned wallpaper, catch up at the end she worked in soft carpet and curtains but I do of the day.’ furnishings and flooring love bold patterns to add spark before starting up By and personality to a room.

Design Interiors in Middleton with fellow interior designer Lynley What’s a trend you’ll be glad to see the Hansen. She’s a fan of investment pieces, back of? I have a firm stance on not natural materials, bold patterns and the becoming a victim to current trends. Your beautiful North Canterbury landscape. home is yours. If it works for you, it’s right.

Clockwise from above right: Interior designer Nicola Elsaka; her fondness for natural materials and bold patterns are demonstrated in this bathroom with its feature wall; a main bedroom; and a sublime kitchen.

How would you describe your home and style? I prefer a lived-in look in my own home. I love to blend old and new and to use natural materials, combined with splashes of colour and personality.

What inspires you about living in your region? North Canterbury sunsets are amazing and the night sky is beautiful. We are surrounded by mountains, forests, hills, rivers and the ocean. You just can’t beat it.

What’s the last thing you bought for your home? Bedroom curtains. I went for a double track, which gives me privacy but still lets the sunshine in.

What was one of the memorable first items you bought for your home? A concrete dining table. I still love it. I get many compliments about it, and it was definitely the right fit for the space.

What’s your favourite room in your house?

The office area I created in the sunniest half of the lounge during lockdown. It’s my creative space. I’ve added a nook where I sit in the morning sunshine with a coffee.

If money was no object, what would you splurge on for your home? A home needs to evolve with a family’s needs, so I would probably move a few walls around and create a space that works for mine. Then I would create my dream kitchen.

What would you save on? Items that can be easily swapped out or upgraded later.

You’ve got a day to refresh your house.

What do you do? I would add a splash of colour or texture to the main-bedroom walls, update the lighting and finish off with styling. You can spruce up a room in 30 minutes by changing up the cushions and throws and re-styling the bedside tables.

What should every home have? A heart, where the family can catch up at the end of the day, eat, laugh, cook and play games.

If you could have a ‘house tour’ of any home in the world, whose would you choose? TV interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard’s. I would love to see how he put together his own home(s). www.bydesigninteriors.co.nz HOU S E OF THE Y E A R 2021

Resene Colour Expert

WITH A HUE

If you’re a little nervous about embracing colour and patterns in your home, here are some tips from Resene expert Rebecca Long

RESENE Thorndon Cream RESENE Eighth Canterbury Clay

RESENE Conch

RESENE Blanched Pink

What shades would you choose for a timeless look?

Neutrals are becoming warmer as we rebel against stark whites and steely greys. Timeless neutrals such as Resene Eighth Canterbury Clay, Resene Merino and Resene Half Thorndon Cream are versatile and offer warmth.

What colours are trending? Soothing, tranquil hues such as Resene Conch and spicy terracotta such as Resene Sante Fe. The desire for relaxing homes has increased with light neutrals and rich, warm hues being embraced.

RESENE Waiouru

Are colour combinations on walls a good idea?

Absolutely! There is no need to limit your walls to just one colour. Use two contrasting colours such as Resene Eagle and Resene Waiouru to create a half-wall and bring balance and symmetry to your space.

RESENE Eagle

Any favourite paint finishes and why? I love the variety of finishes Resene has on offer. One of my favourites would have to be Resene Enamacryl gloss. Not only does a gloss finish bring power to a colour, it also offers durability.

Colours are as close as printing process allows. Always view Resene testpots or colour charts before making your final choices.

Wallpaper is hot right now. How do you choose the right pattern? The possibilities with Resene wallpaper are endless and the best patterns are chosen with your personality in mind. Embrace bold patterns, rich textures and both custom- and pre-made murals.

What’s your best tip for achieving a cohesive interior?

Use repetition to link colours, shapes and finishes.

Any other expert tips? Paint, such as Resene Peace, can be used for more than just your walls. Freshen up shelving, add personality to furniture or add patterns to flooring.

Beneath a sculptural copper roof that crests and curves like waves is a home that is expansive yet intimate, crisp yet cosy. The clients wanted gezelligheid (the Dutch term for conviviality, friendly, enjoyable and cosy) and that’s precisely what they’ve got.

The roof, a complex feat of construction, rests atop a concrete structure with myriad angles that create interest for the owners as they move through the 405sqm home.

Following the curved roofline is an expertly crafted ply ceiling, resulting in a deep sense of warmth and intimacy.

The warmth is further enhanced by the engineered

timber flooring and, more practically, by in-slab heating throughout the ground floor. Expansive curved windows fill the four-bedroom, three bathroom home with light.

Multiple living spaces, inside and out, provide plenty of spots to relax and make entertaining a breeze.

The practical yet elegant kitchen spills into the dining room and then onto the patio, which is sheltered by another of those astonishing copper waves. This one-of-a kind outdoor room further links the interior of this special home to the garden and stream beyond.

If golf is your driving ambition, you would be hard-pressed to find an address more suited to your passion.

Sitting opposite the 18th hole of the Clearwater Golf Resort, this substantial executive residence offers a bird’s-eye view of all that’s happening on the green. And if that’s not enough, there’s a personal driving-range simulator within the confines of this home that provides access to courses the world over.

With four bedrooms, four-plus bathrooms and three living rooms, there’s space a-plenty to indulge all interests.

A mix of tilt panel and in-situ concrete construction,

together with a commanding steel and glass entry, might have provided a challenge to the builders, but the nett effect spells class and elegance.

Note, too, the celebration of timber. The den, study and lift are all lined in Victorian ash, while French oak features heavily in both the floor and the hand-stained internal doors.

On a clear day, you can see forever by pulling back the glass doors to soak up the view. A log burner offers abundant warmth when the weather is inclement.

‘A pool, landscaping and lawn provide an idyllic setting for kids to play.’

Built on a steep section, this highly technical two-level build on Scarborough Hill was equal parts challenging and rewarding.

The stunning four-bedroom family home has an industrial quality with exposed tilt slab and steel, combined with the warmth of cedar cladding and linings. The beautifully crafted interiors seamlessly marry these materials into a harmonious palette.

Outside, a pool, landscaping and lawn have been integrated into the rock of the lower section. This is overlooked by a large decked balcony, which extends

from the upper living area, and is a relaxing spot to watch the kids play.

The family room is an excellent example of the thoughtfully designed and crafted elements within this home. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on one side provide space for everyone’s reading collection. Along the main wall, a TV can be on display or hidden behind a vertical timber panel that blends in with the surrounds. With a fireplace and loads of comfy seating, it’s easy to see this room becoming a favourite for cosy family nights in.

Here’s a luxury home that has more ticks than there are boxes for them.

At 370sqm and with five bedrooms, six bathrooms, four-car garaging, a gym and a lift, you’d be hard pressed to find anything else you’d ever need, now or in the near future.

This three-level beauty also has a fully automated solar-panel system with battery retention, a solar hot-water setup, and stormwater retention pods that store and reuse rain water. Thermally broken joinery and wool-blend insulation keep this large house cosy.

And did we mention the view?

The living areas and decks take in great sweeps of sea and city from their grandstand position on the hill. The view is pretty good from the road too. With schist, steel and plaster cladding, the house is attractive on its hillside site.

Inside, the spaces are light and airy – as you’d expect from a house with so many windows that invite the views in, and glass doors that encourage the owners to step outside to enjoy them. The kitchen and bathrooms are perfection in gleaming white.

Indoor-outdoor flow takes on a whole new meaning with this substantial family home. Running along one side of the house is a built-up outdoor pool, which is accessed by a sheltered, private area.

The owners like to keep things local: they found a Canterbury stonemason who did all of the brickwork and constructed an outdoor fireplace made of locally quarried stone and finished with a bluestone hearth. It’s the perfect place to pull up a seat and relax.

Cedar and brick provide the primary cladding, giving a look that exudes warmth.

Cast your eyes skywards and soaring angles predominate. But while they are a key feature of this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, they do not make for a cavernous look.

The brief to the architect was for a home that provides long-term family living – both communal and private – and the Parsons Construction team brought their vision to life.

Three living rooms create space for all, while allowing for individual pursuits. Then there’s the entertainer’s kitchen and dining area providing a hub for occupants and guests to gather at the table and share their stories.

SLEEK IS THE WORD From sun up to sunset, this capacious family home is perfectly positioned to capture the best of the day’s conditions. Correct orientation means it’s protected from the prevailing wind and summer’s fierce rays.

A commanding timber staircase divides the levels of this four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence. Every consideration has been given to the interior, which offers two living areas, a gym and double garaging.

Design cohesion pervades, with sleek lines and smooth surfaces reflected both inside and out. To illustrate the point, take a look at the kitchen: handle-free doors add to the streamlined effect.

Custom-made sliding doors, designed to the owners’ specific requirements, further that impression, while outside, specially made brick cladding with flush detailing

enhances the sense of seamlessness.

Excellent storage and efficient use of space help maintain the natural flow and clutter-free look.

Built for a family, this 299sqm modernist home, which is full of bespoke detailing and architectural recesses, takes into account the many needs of its owners.

This eye-catching home has been built to impress – it has a strong street presence that showcases its quality, design and attention to detail. The striking contrast between feature plaster walls, horizontal and vertical cedar weatherboards, large windows and bold modern lines creates immediate interest.

At 362sqm, the four-bedroom home is brimming with ‘must-haves’, not to mention an indulgent list of ‘I wants’, including an electric-car charger, four-car garaging, three ensuites, two living areas, under-tile heating, feature interior walls with built-in cabinetry, and LED strip lighting

indoors and out. Level-entry exterior tiled patios blend almost seamlessly into the interior, creating an effortless transition.

Clean-energy efficiency and warmth were top of mind in the design process, so the house has doubleglazed argon gas and low-e glass, photovoltaic roof panels, flow limiters in tapware, hydronic underfloor heating, a ducted heat pump and an air-exchange system.

It’s fair to say this house has everything you need in a modern home, but is also a sleek and beautiful addition to its leafy, established neighbourhood.

Arrive at this Greendale property on the Canterbury Plains and you’ll see a beautiful two-storey heritage homestead.

Except that this 384sqm stunner isn’t a grand old house, it’s actually a brand-new build.

The homeowners wanted to create a farm homestead that looked as if it had been there for decades. So the team from Craig Rogers Building took its standard Fendalton Heritage Home plan and adapted it to suit their clients’ needs and their country setting. The collaboration between client and company resulted in a win-win design: a five- bedroom, two-storey stunner with the charm of a

house built in the 1920s, but with all the mod cons of a brand-new build.

When it came to creating an authentic yesteryear look, no stone was left unturned.

The team’s craftsmanship is evident in every room, from the period-style fittings and detailing in the kitchen to the bathrooms with their tiles, cabinetry and fixtures.

And a classic design doesn’t mean the owners miss out on modern indoor-outdoor living. Verandas hug three sides of the homestead, opening from the living, dining and kitchen spaces, as well as the formal lounge and office.

Combining a home and business in one building can be a tricky business. With the requirement for the 400sqm house to look at home in its surroundings, and for it to have the feel of a Central Otago build, it becomes even more of a challenge. JD Homes, however, have pulled it off with aplomb.

The answer lay in a series of pods – three of them in an H-shape and linked by glass. One is for the owners’ clients and has a bedroom, ensuite and a small tuckedaway study. The second pod has three bedrooms, an ensuite, a family bathroom and a substantial media/

games room. Connecting them is the luxurious open-plan kitchen, living and dining zone, plus an outdoor room and decks.

In the dark and handsome kitchen, you’ll find booth seating, textured black tiles with contrasting grey grout, and a sliding window that opens to the spa-pool zone and is ideal for serving drinks. The house sits naturally on the land and if you didn’t know it was in Canterbury you could easily imagine it in Central Otago, thanks to stacked stone inside and out. That’s all three objectives met, and a lot more besides.

If the mountain scenery doesn’t capture your attention, the big yellow front door certainly will. This substantial executive family home was built to maximise the commanding views of the Southern Alps and the rural vista at its feet.

In terms of decor and design, this home presents its own bold picture. There’s much more to the mix than the four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two living room configuration. Consider also the rumpus room, sewing room and hobby areas – each wearing its own distinct personality.

In the living areas, the cathedral ceiling gives a great sense of space, while a double-sided log fire cossets the occupants from any winter chills.

The expansive kitchen and dining area extend to a covered outdoor area. It’s here that the flat site comes into its own with a large pool.

The contemporary L-shaped design has two separate but connected wings. A three-car garage completes the picture, and measures up to the owners’ precise specifications.

With so much at stake, so many choices, decisions, legislation… it makes sense to start with us.

We offer more than a per square metre rate. A lot of factors affect the pricing of your construction project, including foundations, local government rules, geographic areas, types of finishes and the style of house, to name a few. We break your building components down into a schedule and then measure and use our database of costings to calculate a final price. In some instances we can also shop around for prices. With a QS estimate document in hand, you can commit to working drawings with confidence, or tender your job knowing everyone is pricing the same project and allowing the same standard of finish and products in your build.

BLACK BEAUTY This impressive Christchurch home stands out from the crowd. Set over two spacious levels, the leading-edge design includes a striking entranceway with a pivot door, generous use of glass, and sleek black cladding.

The living and dining areas feature full-height windows to draw in the sunshine and accentuate the sense of space and light. Large sliding doors lead to an outdoor

area that combines an attractive blend of concrete paving, wood decking and low-maintenance lawns and gardens.

The office is large enough for two and has been purpose-built to make working at home relaxed and convenient. There’s customised shelving and cabinetry, and the room opens to the outdoors.

In the cooking zone, the kitchen includes an integrated fridge, a central island bench with breakfast bar, and loads of room for creative cooking.

A combination of dark and light timber flooring and cabinetry, and strategically placed LED lighting make this a welcoming, warm space.

When guests arrive, the flow from the kitchen out to the entertaining area is easy and natural.

HOW GREAT THOU ART It’s not every house that has a gallery as its central feature, but for this pavilion-style residence, it’s the perfect focal point. The long, wide space connects the open-plan kitchen/dining/living areas to the bedroom wing and, eventually, the garage. This is no mere hallway, however. It’s a light-filled space where the owners can appreciate and celebrate their art collection.

That’s not to say expressive touches are confined to the gallery – you’ll find striking examples everywhere.

White walls are the perfect backdrop for eye-catching tiles in the kitchen splashback and in the two bathrooms.

Pitched ceilings in the pavilions generate a feeling of space and the over-height windows open the home to its rural surrounds and let light flood in. The living spaces link to a covered patio and this, plus a separate studio, share views of the swimming pool.

The exterior of this cedar-clad 292sqm home is just as attractive. The dark pavilions embellish the land, without dominating it. This home has also been built for energy efficiency, with a fully insulated slab, structurally insulated panels and thermally broken windows.

‘A can-do attitude and vision resulted in this special home.’

Previous owners had deemed this elevated Glen Bay section too difficult to build on, so for 18 years it sat empty. Then, in stepped a new owner who contracted Southen Builders, and the combined team’s can-do attitude and vision resulted in this special architectural home with sweeping harbour views.

The sunny, north-facing 180sqm house has a striking roof design that invites in sun during winter and provides shade in summer – all within tight recession plane restrictions. The roof was created using considerable amounts of steel. Steel beams were also cantilevered

in to support both the deck and suspended polished concrete mid-floor. Large concrete-block walls – both retaining and to form a structural backbone – were incorporated as a result of extensive excavation. Access to the steep, narrow site was tricky, and was compounded when a pool was added to the plan at a late stage.

This two-storey build, with moody polished concrete floors and light-ply ceilings, was originally intended as a bach, but the finished three-bedroom house was so good it is now a permanent home.

Open-plan living and dining spaces glide across the ground floor and stacking sliders push back to connect with a north-facing terrace and manicured garden. What could be better for entertaining?

The high-spec kitchen includes an island counter and scullery and the sitting area has a gas fire.

Upstairs, the main bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and opulent tiled ensuite with twin vanities, while two more double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a

stand-alone bath. A powder room downstairs and double internal-access garage complete a superb package on a 322sqm section landscaped to offer enjoyment without the maintenance.

A striking exterior, reminiscent of a stacked-cube sculpture, features cedar on one of the shapes. It’s the first house the builders have crafted using diagonal cedar minus trim down the middle and it required “perfect workmanship”. Concrete plastering complements the wood and lets the shapes speak for themselves – just like a piece of art.

CLASS ACT From this 220sqm house, the owners are treated to views of Sumner Beach, Pegasus Bay and the Kaikōura Ranges.

It’s quite an act to follow, but the builders have given the vistas a good run for their money with this beautifully finished four-bedroom family home.

The vertical wood and stone-clad house unfolds over three levels and spills out to a portico and deck with a swim-spa pool. It’s a perfect place to entertain.

Step inside and you’ll see the white-onwhite interior has just the right amount of timber accents. You can’t miss the towering stone fireplace in the lounge – not only striking, it serves to anchor the floor to the over-height ceiling.

In the kitchen, you’ll find stone benchtops and premium appliances, while the electric-blue splashback generates plenty of wow factor.

Two bathrooms, a library, a study, a garage, picture windows that celebrate the views, and several decks are part and parcel of this handsome home high on the hill.

Look closer and you’ll see the detailed craftsmanship lavished throughout, putting this build in a class of its own. A masterclass, perhaps.

Built with extended whānau in mind, this large 312sqm home embraces a clever multi-generational design.

Effectively, the plan brings together a spacious three-bedroom home and a smaller two-bedroom dwelling under one roof.

The bold entrance is finished with beautiful Queenstown schist that flows through to the interior lobby. Beyond this warm welcome lies a living area with sliders at its far side, opening onto a hardwood deck and heated swimming pool. The living area connects seamlessly with a large, dining room and

open-plan kitchen under a pitched-ceiling.

The butler’s pantry is a bonus.

An elegant cedar partition provides visual separation between living and kitchen. This wing of the home also contains a mudroom, bathroom, separate toilet and two more bedrooms with custom cupboards and shelving.

Built strong with a frame of engineered timber, clad with concrete panels and crowned with a coloursteel roof, this well-insulated home is naturally warm.

The ducted heat pump is just another bonus.

Tucked away off the street with a beautiful entry featuring Japanese-style screens for shade and privacy, this 224sqm home provides a tranquil sanctuary for its owners.

The architecturally designed three-bedroom home required meticulous planning to fit on a tough hill site.

The homeowners gave careful consideration to every detail of the build, which is reflected in the complexity and sophistication of the finish.

The vertical lines of the exterior cladding combine with angled rooflines to create height and interest.

The entrance leads through a large pivot door into a feature hallway with charred larch cladding.

Every room has a fantastic feel that reflects the personality of its owners. The bathrooms are fully tiled, offer plenty of natural light and employ clever use of space. The designer kitchen and sunny open-plan living area, as well as the main bedroom, all take in elevated views across McCormacks Bay. The building team describes this home as by far the toughest and most rewarding house they’ve ever built.

If it rains, you can close the louvres overhead; if it’s too cold you can move inside to the long dining table or sit up at the kitchen island and chat to the chef. After-dinner drinks? Slip into the lounge and warm yourself in front of the gas fire. It’s all possible in this 233sqm home that is purpose-built for easy living and effortless entertaining.

of space and storage. One of the many delights here is a hidden nook – a door within a timber-slat feature wall opens to reveal a nifty storeroom. It’s magic.

The kitchen, in white and wood, has a walk-in pantry and a splashback that stretches the length of the island.

This cooking space links to dining and living zones, which add beautifully to the versatility of the house.

Outside, you’ll notice the striking cladding in dark tones, plus contrasting golden vertical cedar. In terms of a house that has it all, this one gets a big tick.

Built on a narrow site, the architectural design of this three-bedroom home is clever and the results are classy.

The home is split across two fully selfcontained pods connected with a secluded courtyard. Bold and beautiful concrete blockwork features throughout, setting the tone for industrial-style decor, including ply ceilings, exposed steel beams, and a fabulous floating staircase.

The contemporary kitchen includes a butler’s pantry, which leaves the main preparation space sleek and unobtrusive.

The open-plan living and dining space below the main-suite mezzanine extends into the spectacular outdoor living zone, which encompasses the pool and dining space.

And for those chilly winter months, the spa pool and sauna are just the ticket for a soothing warm up.

The uber-functional ‘south pod’ is also set over two levels, with two large bedrooms and ensuites, plus a self-contained living area.

Thanks to the cleverly partitioned design, this home is ideal for extended families or Airbnb guests.

CHARACTER & CHARM Before the build of this characterful two-bedroom home could begin, there were a few minor details to take care of. Like removing the existing home to a new location.

That done, the owners wanted the leadlights from the old home installed into the new windows, but the glass needed to be strengthened – and that would take time.

The result is well worth it. Now in place, the leadlights create a meaningful connection between old and new.

onathan and Venus founded “Supreme Wood Products” in 2016 to bring high quality Siberian Larch for the best price to the New Zealand market. The business model is essentially to buy direct, without a middleman, and to deliver from the containerto-door. Now, we own part of a mill in Russia so we can monitor the quality directly and ensure ADVERTISING TEMPLATE the best quality timber is supplied continuously and efficiently.

Rode through tough times We had to learn the hard way that the business practices in Russia are not the same as in New Zealand, and the Russian suppliers did not always share our enthusiasm for a high quality product. One key issue is that if the timber is not dried correctly then it will lead to major movement, cracking and splitting.

So we decided to set out and find suppliers who share our passion for a top quality professional attitude and attention to detail. The relationships we have formed with such suppliers is what has led to us having a good consistent supply of high quality timber.

Our business is proudly 100% kiwi owned and operated!

Better & Direct

Best Siberian Larch in New Zealand Along with sourcing the best Siberian Larch and the largest trees we also adopted a thermal modification technology to give the timber stability. Our Siberian Larch is put through a double kilning process and raised temperature for 72 hours so that it will withstand the New Zealand climate better, and reduce movement, cupping and splitting dramatically.

While this does not change the look of the timber it improves the strength and durability.

Different from other modified timbers in the market, you do not need to pay an extortionate price for our Siberian Larch. In fact, it is priced lower than all major timber suppliers.

From logs, edged boards and treatment, we are now in full control of the process. In our opinion and experience, our Siberian Larch is the best quality and price in New Zealand.

hill, major earthworks, stepped foundations, a timber retaining wall around the back of the house and a block retaining wall for the garage/games room. Just as the joists were being laid, Covid-19 put a halt on things, so the builders had to shut up shop temporarily.

When they were able to recommence, the team had to work long hours to get the roof on before winter. The final result is a light, airy four-bedroom, two-bathroom home, all within 179sqm. The finishing touches – a cathedral ceiling with grooved ply in the main living area, randompattern vertical cedar cladding, and a 60sqm kwila deck along the entire front – set the house apart. The deck leads to railway-sleeper stairs and landscaping below.

A tricky build, but a terrific result.

Both living areas, plus the main bedroom, have full-height sliders that open up to the hardwood deck – cleverly positioned to capitalise on the afternoon sun.

The hub of the home is the kitchen, which features oak joinery and a white granite, waterfall island bench. The

After a short walk back from the beach, you can rinse off in the spacious modern bathroom, which has design details that tie in with the rest of the home.

the children grow and need more space. The whole house benefits from all-day sun, especially in the living room and main bedroom, which both flow out to large north-facing living areas.

In addition to natural light, this home also benefits from argon-filled low-e glazing and a thermally broken front door, which was noted as an area of heat loss, particularly as it is on the south elevation.

When open, the full-height cavity slider in the living area allows sunlight to travel deeper and unimpeded into the home.

The garage is fully insulated, carpeted, and includes double glazing to make the most of this space and ensure another warm area of the home. A great example of affordable flair for a modest price.

wardrobe with adjoining ensuite and there’s also a generous double garage and separate laundry. That’s an awful lot of home for the footprint and a lot of flexibility for a growing family. Extensive outdoor living, including a patio, provides space for entertaining and plenty of room for the kids to play.

The kitchen, which has a scullery, has TriStone benchtops and top appliances. Grey shades throughout the home provide cohesion and style. The exterior – with brick cladding and a coloursteel roof – already has street appeal, but as the landscaping becomes more established it will be enhanced. A heatpump, carpet and good flow from indoors to out make this home a very attractive proposition.

Traditional style meets modern comfort in this three-bedroom home. Living spaces merge naturally and then flow out to decks and patios. The main living space has them on either side – one for your morning coffee and the other for relaxing in the evening. You can move as sunshine and wind conditions change. What could be better? The main bedroom also has a patio.

Two elegant tiled bathrooms provide everyday luxury and the well-designed kitchen, with scullery, is a dream for entertainers. The long island bench with seating is just the place to congregate with friends and family, or to

chat with the chef. You’ll also find a separate laundry, garage, and main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.

But the 170sqm property is much more than a smart, well-designed home – there are personal touches throughout. Stylised floating shelves and painted features – a green front door, an intense blue base to the kitchen island and blue-grey feature walls – bring personality to this property.

Handsome in Linea Oblique weatherboard and plaster cladding, this home is designed for family life, and it shows.

FIRST & FOREMOST The young family that lives here gave their builder a simple and poignant brief: “Build us our first home!”

So construction on the three-bedroom, 175sqm property began.

The result: A smart, modern house with everything they need – space, flow and durability, plus a number of extras, such as a separate laundry, an ensuite in

the main bedroom, a free-standing bath in the family bathroom and a double garage.

Thanks to black and timber cabinetry, stone benchtops and a herringbone tile splashback, the kitchen is a style statement. This zone merges seamlessly into the dining room – a sociable space with plenty of natural light.

A separate lounge with a sliding door provides a cosy refuge to read and relax on a rainy day. The northerly aspect captures all-day sun and with clever positioning, there is shelter from the Christchurch easterlies.

The concrete-block facade and metal roofing give the compact and easy-to-maintain home a lift, when compared to many starter homes at the same level.

In a nutshell, this home is perfect for family living, and will be for many years to come.

An executive kitchen forms the heart of the open-plan living space and is complete with a generously sized walk-in pantry, expansive benches and plenty of

natural light – thanks to large skylights and windows.

A separate lounge adjoins the main living area and is complemented by raking ceilings and a full-height window overlooking the front of the property. Leading from the dining space is an inviting, covered alfresco area that features an outdoor gas fire with an attractive schist surround.

Standout is the perfect word to describe this substantial home. Not only does it stand tall and proud on its section overlooking rural paddocks, it also exhibits outstanding craftsmanship.

The wow factor starts from the moment you set eyes on the 301sqm plaster home. Vertical cedar framing the entry and detailed stacked-bond concrete blocks make a bold statement across the wide frontage.

Move inside the five-bedroom, three-bathroom house and you’ll immediately notice the 3.6m ceiling stud in the entry and a feature wall clad in recycled timber screens.

The inner sanctuary – the kitchen and living areas – is resplendent in white with timber features and has additional high windows that let natural light flood in. Handcrafted timber ceiling fans add another dimension to the spaces and complement the timber elsewhere.

It was important to the owners this house functioned well, so hours were spent considering the layout of the five bedrooms and connecting three bathrooms.

A kitchen scullery, all-weather portico and triple garaging are, naturally, all present and correct.

Q&A HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BUILDER FOR YOU

How did you know you had the right builder? Both my wife and I have a background in quality management and customer service. We were looking for a builder with industry credibility who could listen and interpret our ideas.

Right from the start we got on really well with our builder.

Instantly I knew we had a common understanding of what we wanted from the build and by showing me his previous work, I could see that he was a quality craftsman. He went above and beyond throughout, starting from our first conversation. Don’t be afraid to ask to see previous work and talk to past customers.

Because InHaus are Master Builders, I also knew they would have had to complete a number of rigorous checks to ensure they met the quality standards of the organisation.

As well as looking at building experience, qualifications and workmanship, there are also financial checks for all Master Builders to ensure business stability. Knowing these checks

Building a new home or undertaking a major renovation is a big deal, so you need a builder you can trust to help you through the process. We sat down with Nelson local Vince Roper, whose new house won a National New Home Category Award in the Master Builders House of the Year competition in 2014, and ask him for his tips. He and his family attribute their win to their strong relationship with their Master Builder Russell Campbell from InHaus and the team of sub-contractors and architects he surrounds himself with.

have been done is great for peace of mind.

Why did you choose a Master Builder? We've built before and know this can be a stressful time. You hear about cowboys and you need to make sure you are protected.

I knew I absolutely needed a Master Builder. Choosing one gave me confidence, assurance and minimised the risk of building a new home. It is also important to think about the long term – this is not where you want to focus on the cheapest option. You want to get the best value and a home you will love for years.

It sounds like you had a great relationship with your builder. How did you go about finding someone you wanted to work with? We had just moved to Nelson after the Christchurch earthquakes and were very focused on re-establishing ourselves in a new, quality home in a more positive environment.

Having built twice before, and being very house proud, we had a clear idea of what we wanted in terms of build quality and final finish. The only problem was when we arrived in Nelson, we had no building contacts and no one to turn to for a recommendation.

We had used a Master Builder to build our last home in Christchurch, so we went with what we knew best. Using the ‘Find a Builder’ tool on the Master Builders website, we looked up Nelson-based builders.

Although we knew all the builders would be up to the Master Builder quality standard, we wanted the best of the best, so we also looked at who had won House of the Year accolades. InHaus fitted the bill so we gave it a shot. Turns out it was the best decision we have ever made.

Tell us a little bit about your project and the relationship with your builder? Because we were new to Nelson, we were unsure of the area where we had decided to build. It's important people work with a builder who knows the area and can provide good advice. Our builder had built another home not far away from our section and that gave us some extra assurance.

As we were building a whole new house, the design phase was crucial. Collaboration is so important here. You want to make sure your builder is involved throughout the whole process, working closely with you and your architect.

We had an exciting vision of what we wanted, and we recommend working with an experienced builder who can conceptualise and turn your vision into something tangible.

Working with a Master Builder, you know your project is backed by the best in the business. Our builder really did go above and beyond in every aspect and never watched the clock. We now consider Russell and his son Shaun – who was the Master Builders CARTERS National Apprentice of the Year 2015 winner – to be very good friends.

The opportunity to get a Master Build 10-Year Guarantee was also a no brainer. Building a home is one of your biggest life investments so it is important you are protected.

No one knows what will happen in 10 years’ time, but I know I am protected by Master Builders no matter what – even if my builder is no longer in business. Most banks will also insist on a guarantee, and this one is the best.

Any other tips to share with Kiwis looking to build or renovate their homes? It's all about a partnership. Be clear about your expectations early on and what you want to achieve. It's too late to go back and change your mind once the job is finished. You want the job done well once.

The quality of your home will also be remembered for longer than the cost will. It may be worth stretching yourselves a bit, to get a quality builder. And if you have to wait for your builder, it will be worth it.

We are extremely proud of the home we have and working with the Master Builder InHaus team has been one of the most positive things to have happened in our lives.

‘It stands strong in recycled brick with random-width cladding.’

The design sensibility of this home is clearly read. Standing strong in recycled brick and with random-width cladding, the building form is elegant and uncomplicated.

This contemporary three-bedroom home is true to its design aesthetic outside and in. A crisp interior palette of white and light timber tones creates a calming environment. Lofty ceilings enhance the sense of space.

In the main bedroom, carefully considered window placement and a sliding door to the outdoors allow plenty of natural light to stream in. The ensuite features twin sinks and a large, tiled shower.

The kitchen is chic and contemporary with clean lines, handle-free cabinetry, and a long island with seating for four or more.

Ideal for family life, the living and dining space opens up to a low-maintenance outdoor area for kids to play and adults to relax. A second lounge adjoining the kitchen and dining zone provides a sunny spot to unwind.

From here, double sliders open to the outdoors.

With the landscaping in place, the brick and black facade will grow more handsome by the day, creating an enduring elegance to admire for years to come.

Described as a challenging, complex, but exciting build, this exquisite 657sqm home offers one wow factor after another.

Each of the five bedrooms, four bathrooms and multiple living areas has been designed to a grand scale with space and luxury in mind. The underground cellar – tricky because of its proximity to the stream – has a glass lift to all three levels. And with a personal gym and five-star swimming pool, you start to get the picture.

The home is perfectly positioned on its 1500sqm site bordering the Wairarapa stream. The aluminium standing-

seam roofing combines with natural tones of plaster and cedar cladding to complement the lush landscaping and mature trees.

Beneath its breathtaking beauty, this home is highly automated and energy efficient. A 15kW solarpanel system makes it almost self-sufficient in terms of power. Thermal break, argon gas, low-e and reflective glass offer the best glazing outcomes, especially the 3m-high sliders connecting the indoor and outdoor living areas.

All rooms have ducted heating, and the in-floor hydronic heating is powered by specially engineered heat pumps.

Located in Prebbleton’s Village Estate, this builder’s home impresses at every turn. The monochrome exterior palette and sleek roofline are a handsome partnership that evokes curiosity at what lies within.

Tastefully designed and masterfully built, this 185sqm house makes the most of the 463sqm section, with three bedrooms and all the modern must-haves, including a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite.

The bespoke kitchen accesses natural light and an exterior outlook through elongated windows and

elegantly combines black cabinetry with timber finishing touches. The look-through island bench is a smart move that heightens the sense of space.

Depth of colour in the living area and main bedroom add warmth and character to the otherwise light decor.

Natural flow throughout the different spaces was very important for the builder, who has ensured the outdoor area hasn’t been overlooked. A spacious deck, lawn, landscaping and a fireplace combine to create a builder’s dream for those after-work barbecues and beersies.

A small, narrow site open to easterly winds was always going to be a challenge, but it also provided an opportunity to demonstrate just what Cambuild could achieve. This 141sqm show home designed to showcase indoor-outdoor living is the result.

The company decided to create a home in which the dining and living spaces reap the benefits of the tracking sun for most of the day. The kitchen, which looks out to the main living area, is bathed in morning light and the west-facing deck is the lucky recipient in the evening.

Despite the 320sqm section being just 10.76m wide,

the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home achieves all its alfresco objectives, including shelter from the prevailing wind.

The builders were also able to keep the main bedroom suite separate from the other two bedrooms, provide a laundry and single garage, and create a sense of continuity. Not bad for a compact house on a skinny site.

Stellar touches abound – a feature wall in the lounge, slick kitchen and bathroom fixtures, and a dapper combo of exterior brick and rusticated cedar weatherboards. It’s a prime example of clever thinking meets craftsmanship.

Some houses have instant street appeal and there’s no question this home is one of them. A combination of white plaster cladding, cedar features and simple gabled rooflines all add up to a streamlined and good-looking home.

The 237sqm plan has been designed to take advantage of the sun. Head through the front door and you’ll find the living light and spacious.

Centre stage is the sophisticated kitchen, which has expansive benches and a walk-in pantry. Another bonus: bifold doors open to a courtyard area.

The main living zone, which flows from the kitchen, is positioned to capture the sun and has stacker sliders leading to the backyard. A bulkhead ceiling adds a feeling of space to this area.

A separate lounge can be found off the main living space and features a raking ceiling with pendant lighting.

You’ll also find four double bedrooms – the main suite has a large walk-in-wardrobe and ensuite with a tiled shower and double vanity. There’s also a double garage, family bathroom and a real sense of home.

The striking dwelling is positioned to capture all-day sun, with multiple courtyards to choose from.

The separate main-bedroom wing is a luxurious affair incorporating a spacious walk-in wardrobe, access to a private deck in the rear garden and a palatial resort-like ensuite with underfloor heating.

Functionality doesn’t mean a compromise on style in this property. With high-spec finishes and clever details throughout, this very special home elevates family living to an exacting standard.

two bathrooms and two living areas, there is much to be enjoyed in the 188sqm footprint. There's also a double garage, study with floating shelves and main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe.

A neutral palette of steel, concrete, cedar and plaster is a lesson in how to create a harmonious aesthetic using different cladding. In the kitchen, black and white

cabinets, mitred joinery and a stainless steel-wrapped island produce a sleek look. A recessed area encased in stainless steel makes an eye-catching feature, and specialist lighting also draws the eye.

Clever design combined with quality craftsmanship result in a stunning show home packed with personality.

Clean, crisp lines combine with a low-pitch roof and a long layout to give this home an appealing point of difference from others in the neighbourhood.

Black longrun roofing is offset by white plaster and cedar cladding to create a strong street frontage and memorable first impression.

The 230sqm home is well positioned for maximum sun with a northerly facing aspect and multiple stacker sliders in the living areas. In the heart of the home, the kitchen provides an inviting family hub with an abundance of light from the full-height glazing along

the frontage, and two skylight windows above. Open-plan living areas combine with pitched raked ceilings to create a satisfying feeling of space. For entertaining ease, a large cavity slider opens up the kitchen, leading through to the relaxing and welcoming sitting room.

Three-car garaging, four bedrooms, two living areas, and two bathrooms accommodate busy family life.

Ducted central heating and cooling, plus two sun tunnels in the hallway, mean the owners of this house are well covered for all seasons.

is the striking monopitched roof, which also extends the interior vertical space. To help realise the exterior aesthetic and functional goals, the roofline is complemented with an eye-catching blend of four different claddings plus external louvres for protection against the elements.

The layout of the home has been carefully planned to harness maximum sunlight, with adjoining living areas on each side of the kitchen and well-placed bathrooms and bedrooms.

Polished concrete, ducted heating, foundation perimeter insulation, selective orientation, and considered placement of windows and over-height doors were all critical design elements to maximise air flow, warmth, energy efficiency, and to achieve Homestar 6 certification.

SMART MOVES Strong vertical lines of cedar combine with smart white cladding and schist to create an elegant, attractive exterior to this four-bedroom family home. In addition, a low-profile roof and wide eaves draw up the height to create a grand street presence – all achieved without blowing the budget.

Smart moves continue throughout the interior with

well-designed living spaces. A double-sided gas fire, housed in a polished-stone feature wall, warms the home in winter, and a trio of double sliders open out to the level-entry hardwood decks for easy outdoor flow.

Smart choices continue throughout the home, including the dedicated laundry that leads through to the fully insulated and carpeted garage. Low-level lights aid late-night bathroom visits and checks on the kids.

The main suite provides a peaceful retreat with a private west-facing hardwood deck that takes in views to the expansive garden areas.

In addition, the ensuite features a dedicated double shower with a gas heating controller for the perfect temperature, and an LED mirror reflecting beautifully on the textured tiles.

for entertaining. The cooktop and extractor are on the island facing the living spaces so the cook never misses out on any dinner-party banter.

When it comes to relaxing after a meal or giving yourselves some grown-up space, the lounge – part of the open-plan configuration – can be closed off from the kitchen and dining areas.

The use of muted and stronger grey hues throughout makes the house relaxing, but no more so than in the main bedroom suite, which has a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite with the feel of a spa retreat.

On the outside, Linea weatherboards in two different shades, both horizontal and vertical, create a sense of subtle playfulness, plus street appeal. A double garage and a separate laundry seal the deal.

Mission successful. To make the two-bedroom cottage warmer, the old skylights were replaced with modern, efficient aluminium ones, and spray-foam insulation was used in the small roof cavity.

An old lean-to was demolished and rebuilt using beams that support the mid-floor and upper storey.

The standout features of the renovated cottage are double-glazed timber doors and windows that let light flood in and set the tone for the rest of the house.

All around are pieces of furniture, features and details that reveal the warm tones of wood.

The biggest challenge for the Master Builders was the fact they were working with gnarled 40-year-old rimu framing. But they enjoyed the challenge and the change of setting and style from their usual projects.

And the character? Anyone can see the charming cottage cocooned by trees still exudes plenty of it.

SAINT ALBANS

MODERN ELEGANCE The homeowners of this beautiful 1905 villa have had their dreams fulfilled thanks to an extensive post-earthquake upgrade.

Following geotech and engineering reports, the renovation began from the ground up, with the entire house being re-levelled. The new support structure

involved replacing the foundations and re-piling.

It was also important that the renovation took into consideration the homeowners’ desire for contemporary living. The brief was for an easy flow between living spaces, a design that provided high-end entertaining options, and a work-from-home set-up.

There was also the challenge of modernising the home with high-spec fixtures, fittings and home automation, while still retaining the graceful villa aesthetic.

With this in mind, the existing sash windows underwent onsite upgrades and double-glazing, and the original ceiling roses were protected and enhanced.

The end result is an inviting, elegant home that cleverly infuses contemporary living, while retaining all the charm of a classic style.

POOLED RESOURCES The vision: An extension that looks like it has always been there. The reality: A 143sqm addition accommodating a large leisure room and bathroom, and a new swimming pool. The result: A beautiful new wing that ties in seamlessly to the existing house – no small feat.

Right from the word go, collaboration was key, including Irving Builders “ jumping on the digger” to

investigate if drain-laying costs were viable for the client.

Early in the design-and-build process, contractors and suppliers became involved. This meant the builders could extend the distance between the scissor trusses and remove the need for engineers, designers and block layers.

The addition did, however, require other expert input, such as internal door specialists to ensure the pool was compliant without restricting freedom of movement.

A rigid air barrier in between the linings in the timber framing was also installed to deal with any condensation and moisture.

The new wing has a timber frame with plaster cladding to match the existing home. Extra effort was made to match the downpipes, schist columns and other features.

Perfectly positioned at the base of Cashmere Hills, this exquisite home has been cherished by the same family since its original construction, and was recently repaired after the Canterbury earthquakes.

The colours and curves of its original 1940s art-deco style have been cleverly fused with modern design and materials, and the result is simply stunning.

The schist cladding was carefully removed, stored onsite, and then re-used. Thanks to its flexibility and low-maintenance properties, high-quality aluminium cladding was chosen to replace the original cedar

around the home’s elegant curved walls.

Multiple indoor and outdoor living areas provide a variety of all-weather options for dining, relaxing and entertaining.

Extending from the living area, a lovely big sunroom impresses with cool Halswell stone under foot and large sliding doors that open onto a warm and expansive garapa deck. The deck steps down to a swimming pool, which comes complete with its own pool house. An inset bathtub with a shower is tucked away near the pool – perfect for a starlit soak or a post-swim rinse.

Before the builders could begin their major renovation of this beautiful 1908 Tudor Gothic-style home, the foundations and piles needed replacing or repairing. Along with careful levelling, they also needed to strengthen and straighten the walls of the 480sqm home designed by renowned architect JG Collins.

When it was time to revamp the front facade, an extremely sensitive approach was required. The existing cladding and fixtures were carefully removed and documented. Many of the period features were reused while others were replicated. It was also

imperative that the roof matched the era of the home. The new flat sections with membrane and corrugated iron were both sympathetic to the aesthetic of the historic five-bedroom house. Restructuring of some walls also improved the interior flow.

Straightening and strengthening work on the frame and roof means that this special house will be here into the next century. In the meantime, the owners have a stunning renovated home full of character features and the very latest in structural, architectural and interior design.

tray roofing was installed. Framing and plywood were replaced and the house was reclad in Linea weatherboards. Underslab voids were filled, home and pool terrace slabs were replaced and breaks in internal slab heating were repaired.

The house was also rewired and re-plumbed, and internal walls were re-braced and insulated. Architectural

window joinery was installed and bathrooms fitted with Italian ceramic tiles and aged-brass fixtures. The kitchen, laundry and bathroom cabinets were replaced with 22mm-thick cabinetry and engineered stone benchtops. As if that’s not enough, a room was built to house the pool heat pump and the driveway was relaid.

The renovation and extension of this earthquake-damaged home has created an expansive, ultra-modern residence that maximises panoramic water views.

Future-proofing was top of mind in this build, with 40-plus solar panels installed on the roof to power the house, EV chargers, and pool heating.

The existing house was completely gutted and reconfigured, and the entire first floor was reframed with a combination of new pitched and flat roofs.

A sleek entrance with floating concrete stairs flows seamlessly to the four-metre-high entrance door and

onto custom-built timber stairs. The beautifully appointed fit-out includes the custom kitchen, vanities and wardrobes. In addition, the homeowners now enjoy a massive workshop within the garage, a spacious media room and a sunroom adjoining the kitchen.

The main bedroom suite has become a luxuriously large sanctuary with a sizeable dressing room and ensuite. And, for catching up on some reading or just relaxing in the sun, a covered balcony takes in the impressive views.

SCARBOROUGH

REAP THE REWARDS With such a prime position, this house was a worthy recipient of its extensive refurbishment. The project, overseen by Noordanus Architects, has resulted in the 408sqm five-bedroom home, high on a hill overlooking Taylors Mistake, being lovingly restored. In order to achieve this stunning renovation, the builder’s list of remedies

was long. Earthquake-damaged slate roofing tiles had to be replaced with wide-trough, long-run metal cladding.

Warped cedar cladding was removed and the house reclad in vertical random-width cedar weatherboards.

Architectural aluminium window joinery with Tasmanian oak reveals was installed throughout the five-bedroom home, along with custom ceiling lights. Ōamaru stone cladding and garden walls were restored. Bluestone paving, deck tiles and stainless-steel channel drains were installed to the exterior and glass balustrades were added to the main bedroom balcony.

During the painstaking rebuild, significant emphasis was placed on reducing the environmental footprint – where possible, all slate roofing tiles, cedar cladding and joinery were removed and recycled.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE Evie Kemp’s kitchen is the antithesis of the one- and two-tone examples we’ve seen in recent years. When the Kiwi designer, known for her joyous interiors, gave her own kitchen a makeover, she opted for brightly painted cabinets, a black sink, tap and lamps, and tiles that she added colour to herself.

Classic hit Take a plain space, install timeless white cabinetry, on-trend black fixtures, stylish appliances and sleek benchtops and what have you got? A classic kitchen that will never date. Add your own flair to this perfect canvas.

GARDENS GARDEN

5 TREES FOR SMALL GARDENS

Seven sins of

LANDSCAPING Landscaping and establishing a new garden is fun, hard work and not without its pitfalls. Here are some of the most common garden and landscaping blunders to avoid, says Mary Lovell-Smith

THINKING there’s not enough room for trees, or even one tree. There is always room for at least one in a garden. Can it be called a garden if it is treeless? No, rather, it’s a dispirited chunk of outdoors. A tree brings shade, sound, colour, perspective and movement to a garden. It’s just about working out which is best for your situation. (And, remember, trees will increase the value of your house should you sell it.)

MISTAKING outdoors for indoors and making outside ‘rooms’ that attempt to obliterate what the outdoors is all about – nature. Embrace the elements and refrain from filling up your outdoor space with rugs, sofas, TV screens, heaters, lamps and the like. Hedges make wonderful walls, tree canopies ceilings and flagstones floors.

IMAGINING that every house, no matter the style or age will benefit from a deck. Many homes don’t suit the standard timber deck. Show imagination and design a deck (or get a professional to design one) to suit and enhance your home. Not that decks are the be-all and end-all; it may be that a concrete or tiled terrace or patio, veranda or porch will work better for you.

FORGETTING there are four seasons – not just spring and summer – when blossom and flowers are doing their thing. Also plant for autumn and winter, with plants and shrubs that bloom late, have leaves that change colour and berries to attract the birds.

NEGLECTING the view of the garden from indoors, which is most often how we see our gardens. This may mean framing it out of a window with foliage, or placing a particularly pretty shrub a couple of metres from a window to draw the eye outside.

WANTING to control every inch of the garden.

Banishing weeds, keeping hedges razor sharp, and maintaining perfectly manicured lawns is fine, but what about the creatures that live in the garden and make homes in the likes of rotting logs or long grass?

Also, the price of maintaining such a tidy garden is a high cost in labour or, worse, chemical warfare and its collateral damage.

PAYING the price of impatience by choosing fastgrowing trees and hedging plants. These are wonderful

A key to choosing trees for modest gardens is not so much the size, but how dense and dark they will be in full leaf. Those with an open aspect and sparse leaves are preferable. The other consideration is getting your money’s worth from the tree, such as flowers in spring and summer, colour and fruit in autumn.

Jacaranda mimosifolia

Smothered in clusters of fragrant, purple blooms in spring and summer, jacarandas are a sight to behold. Prefers warm climates or at least a sheltered, warm spot.

Judas tree (Cercis siliquastrum)

This pretty, deciduous tree has heartshaped leaves and clusters of bright pink flowers followed by showy, dark purple pods. Prefers free-draining soil.

Amelanchier canadensis

A small, spreading tree with starry white flowers, and coppery new leaves that turn green before developing brilliant colours in autumn. Tolerates wet soil and drought.

Zelkova serrata

Also known as Japanese elm, this beautiful tree has a wide, spreading habit and gently weeping branches. Its red-purple colours can be stunning, especially in areas with chilly autumns. Prefers moist, well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade.

Kōtukutuku

Tree fuchsia, or Fuchsia excorticata, has stunning rust-coloured papery bark and its branches grow at interesting, twisted angles. Bees love its red and purple flowers.

Prefers moist soil.

for the first few years when they shoot up to successfully provide privacy or hide something unsightly. However, once they reach the desired height they won’t stop growing. You’ll find they will require a lot more work to keep trim than many slower-growing species.
