BEACH FRONT STUNNER

Our latest design and build project was this stunning home on Murrays Bay Beach. Our clients had lived in this spot for over a decade and had been exploring options to reclad their plaster home. Once they went down this route, they discovered that even with a reclad and renovation they wouldn’t quite get their dream home so instead decided to do a full design and build from the ground up to really bring their vision to life. We used a mixture of white bagged brick and dark stained vertical cedar to clad this home, creating stunning lines and angles whilst also tying it into its beach surroundings. A huge raking soffit and folded aluminum detailing create a striking front façade to this modern home. A second deck with louvre roof and opening shutters creates an indoor/outdoor lounge as a perfect additional living space that doesn’t rely on the weather.

As passionate home builders we go out of our way to get it right and that means no customer is ever treated with the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. We worked alongside the clients to bring their vision to life and create a bespoke home perfect for them. For more information about how we can help you to create your bespoke home build take a look at our website www.qpcbuilders.co.nz or give us a call today 0800 772 266
