Reaching new heights BY BEN O’CONNELL
In 2023, Jono Blakely Builders won a Regional Gold and Regional Category Award for this hillside gem at the Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards. This build exemplifies the ingenious, practical solutions that Jono Blakely Builders bring to the table. Specialists in hill builds, their architectural prowess shines bright here. Seamlessly unobstructed panoramic views capture the Otautahi horizon, which is further accentuated by skylights and the property’s raked ceiling. The sleek, fresh interior inspires effortless living flow. Clever design, minimal stairs, and a thoughtful, light-maximising layout enhance this.
Following the sloping landscape, the home’s single split-level design allows for a large lawn and deck, a triple-car garage, and rear access for a trailer or boat. Jono says 2024 is set to be another exciting year. “We’ve got some exciting projects happening in both Christchurch and Wanaka this year, which the team is really looking forward to starting,” he says. “As a team, we are looking forward to continuing our relationships with our incredible subcontractors in Christchurch as well as working alongside some new subcontractors and suppliers down south.” They’re a small, tight-knit team that enjoys working closely together to deliver quality homes. “Our priority at Jono Blakely Builders has always been quality workmanship over quantity. Our relationships with our clients are always of the utmost importance.”
