Congratulations to last year’s winner, WG de Gruchy Construction for the Auckland region’s Supreme New Home 2018 – a sun-soaked stunner in Devonport.
OF THE REGION'S BEST HOMES Clever kitchens + inspired bathrooms
The Auckland Region competition is one of 10 regional House of the Year events held in July and August. You can view the Auckland Region results at houseoftheyear.co.nz from 11 August. Each category is judged by a pair of judges (one builder and one architect) who rate each property against a scorecard. The highest points-scoring Gold Awards in each category become the Category winners. The highest points-scoring Category winners are named the Local Supreme Winner for a New Build and the Local Supreme Winner for a Renovation. As well as being judged for building excellence, entries are rated for their lifestyle value. There are kitchen, bathroom, outdoor living and sustainable home awards and excellence in workmanship is recognised by the Craftsmanship Award.
If you’d like an extra copy or your magazine is damaged, please call 09 308 9998 and we’ll send you one.

Jude Turner of Crave Home, talks home style
Ten years ago, I was looking for a new challenge having volunteered with Friends of Starship for more than a decade. I realised there was a gap in Birkenhead for contemporary home and giftware, so I took the plunge and learned on the job. Describe your home? We’ve just finished renovating our house of 20 years, and have breathed new life into it with light and airy spaces. I think my style could be described as clean, welcoming and thoughtful. Favourite room in the house? It’s a toss-up between our gorgeous new kitchen and my beautiful laundry. Hardly a day goes by when I don’t say out loud: “I love our new kitchen”. Crazy. And the laundry? It’s light, spacious, has great storage and we included this in our renovation too so it’s got a beautiful new stone benchtop and stunning tap.
Creating clean and welcoming spaces are Jude’s priority. This extends to the laundry (below left).
Trend you wish would make a comeback? I love how trends today reference the past – earthy colours, macrame, Temuka-style pottery and indoor plants – they’re all sharing the spotlight. I think you can pretty much do what you like these days, and introduce as many elements from the past as you want. Money no object, what would you get for your home? Does having a pool count? We haven’t got a huge amount of land, but I’m sure a creative landscaper could make this work, otherwise I’d settle for an integrated fridge. What would you go budget on? We spent the bulk of our budget on a new kitchen and new flooring for the house. We had coloured concrete that hadn’t worn well over 20 years, so it was time to give it a refresh. The flooring, coupled with our kitchen has made our overall kitchen and family living space appear much bigger and brighter.
“Small elements can make a big difference” You’ve got a day to refresh your house – what do you do? Fragrant candles, a new piece of art, and fresh flowers every time, plus new accent cushions and a throw or two. It’s amazing the big difference that small elements can make.
What should every home have? An inviting communal space or heart, where everyone can gather and be together. That might be to share meals, have a few drinks, watch the rugby or just read. HOUSE OF THE YEAR 2019

Superbly considered and thermally superior, the 314sqm home is a sanctuary of peace and quiet. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living spaces and internal garaging serve the owner’s lifestyle well. The modern design and selection of materials inside and out have resulted in a durable and attractive home that really stands out. Shuttered window screens deflect light and create privacy in the second-storey living space – without deflecting any attention.
VANTAGE WINDOWS The state-of-the-art kitchen is the centrepiece of N O R T H S H O R E
open-plan living. Concrete floors provide thermal mass for passive solar gain. The acoustically treated ceilings are black cedar battens, which are used outside for a seamless connection between home and garden. An open fire in painted brick surround creates an inviting ambience for year-round entertaining. The neighbouring reserve reads as an extension of the home’s backyard. A perfect example of how this home is making the most of its enviable location. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

Immaculately presented country living beckons south of Auckland. This Karaka home has real presence, from its striking yellow front doors to an expansive alfresco oasis. Sunning themselves in the morning light, the living domain, lounge, covered entertaining area and master bedroom all gaze out over the pool and rural surrounds. Vaulted ceilings instil a wonderful sense of space and grandeur. Warming timber floors offer functionality through the open-plan living areas and walkway/gallery. Hidden behind a wall-hung barn slider, a cosy lounge with gas fireplace delivers the added warmth of carpet.

Sheer style CLEVEDON Reflecting on happy memories of his days staying in the shearer’s quarters at Massey University, the owner of this country home hoped to create a similar atmosphere with his new sophisticated apartment-style dwelling. The resulting 680sqm residence speaks volumes. Its four bedrooms are well served by four exquisitely appointed bathrooms. Expansive open-plan living provides an opulent social gathering space. Lightly varnished plywood interior walls ensure the lower-floor accommodation (adjacent to the stable block), hits the right note of nostalgia.

A well-lit floating staircase with timber bannister leads up to the open-layout kitchen, dining and lounge spaces which survey an equestrian arena. Timber floors, high ceilings, white-washed walls and full-height glass create a sunny, luxurious atmosphere – without losing sight of the country outlook, of course. Beautiful natural timber kitchen cupboards and a 3.2m island bench provide a further nod to the old-school brief. Meanwhile, clean, sleek lines place this elegant kitchen – and indeed home – firmly in the present. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

“This home for all seasons is designed to feel warm and welcoming” Cool and contemporary, this architecturally detailed Northland retreat also exudes a natural warmth. There’s something heavenly about the glow from its 10 skylights buried in cedar-clad ceilings. Recessed lighting provides back-up after nightfall. Exposed to the elements on all sides, the 184sqm design takes a thoughtful approach to its alfresco offerings. Expansive decking, both covered and exposed, provides year-round shelter spots from variable winds. Polished concrete floors look sleek as they bask in passive solar gain. Flush rebated joinery in the glass
sliding doors creates a seamless transition to the outdoors. Open or closed, large glass sliders enhance the connection to the dramatic scenery. From the safety and comfort of a cosy living space, who wouldn’t enjoy the odd passing storm? A second lounge delivers secluded comfort. For more me-time, retreat to the stunning tiled bathroom with crescent tub for soaking up the scenery. At the other extreme from warming cedar, large grey tiles evoke the feeling of moody skies rolling in. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

Fancy a spot of hobnobbing in Hobbs Bay? You’ve come to the right place. This dramatic architecturally designed home is made for sophisticated socialising. Guests are greeted in the wide entrance hall, which flows into the open-plan living area. You can’t miss the feature staircase and soaring ceilings on the way in. The state-of-the-art kitchen steals the show, facing off with a dramatic feature fire. Dark oak herringbone, sharp lines, and a jet-black porcelain benchtop make this entertainer’s domain a real conversation piece. Views of the marina form a dynamic backdrop in the
lounge. The wide vista continues in the media room with massive 150-inch screen for a true cinematic experience. At the end of the night, the owners can retreat to their separate master wing with double closets and high-spec ensuite. This features an attractive mix of hard tiled surfaces and soft oak battening, plus a full-height glass double shower. Visitors are taken care of in a separate guest wing.

Nestled in native bush at the end of a long driveway, this Auckland home feels a world away from the city. A shroud of cedar cladding allows the peaceful property to blend into its natural surroundings. Rising to meet the treetops, the two-storey 308sqm residence makes excellent use of space on a subdivided site – also home to the owners’ original property. Morning sun and birdsong grace the living spaces and bedrooms with a feeling of tranquillity. Afternoon sun and views can be enjoyed in a choice of outdoor areas. Cathedral ceilings and masses of glass bless the open
interior with natural light and a wonderful sense of space. The ground floor is designed as guest accommodation, perfect for when the grandchildren come to visit. It’s also home to the owner’s classic car. Native timbers, milled from the site, can be admired in the kitchen and dining spaces. Wood floors add subtle warmth and depth. The carefully considered materials and colour palette enhance the home. Classic design allows this fine residence to stand proudly in its peaceful surroundings.

Sloping away from the street, this Auckland beauty opens up towards the northwest and stunning water and city views. It’s a tranquil oasis of comfort and understated coastal style. It’s also super family friendly. The 325sqm footprint rises to two storeys, presenting four bedrooms, two bathrooms and dual living spaces, including a teen hangout upstairs. As family is the most import ingredient of this home, the living spaces are large and open. The kitchen/dining/ lounge area serves as a social hub, a place where
everyone can come together to cook, eat and relax. The open-plan zone and the master bedroom, flow effortlessly to large timber decks for alfresco entertaining and relaxation. The in-ground swimming pool beckons on hot summer days. Glass balustrades ensure an unobstructed vista. The top-floor teenage retreat area and three further bedrooms are also all privy to the pretty outlook. Separate double and single garages have every storage need covered for coastal life.

In the details W E S TM E R E PHOTOGRAPHY BY GRANT DRUMMOND
Five bedrooms, three chic bathrooms and contemporary open-plan luxury await in this replica character Auckland villa. At first glance, it’s hard to believe this two-storey home wasn’t built in the mid-1800s. Modern and meticulously crafted, every detail of this generous-sized residence has been carefully considered. Stunning fretwork and traditional sash windows have brought this wonderful family home to life. Large skylights funnel sunshine into the capacious open-format kitchen/dining/living area. High raking ceilings offer an incredible sense of open space. The
simple white colour palette amplifies the fresh, airy feel. A blazing fire creates an inviting atmosphere at one extreme. An entertainer’s kitchen beckons at the other. Living also connects to a separate media lounge through large cavity sliders. The kitchen meanwhile flows effortlessly to the outdoors for easy breezy leisure. The swimming pool and outdoor fire set-up combine the best of alfresco living, complemented by a large lawn and patio. Stunning views across the harbour complete this contemporary character home.

“This bold bisecting balancing act boxes well above its weight” Teetering atop a hill in Whareora, just north of Whangarei, this little black box provides the perfect balance of day-to-day comfort and daring design. Working within an extremely tight building platform, the 146sqm home is cantilevered on three sides. The incredible vantage point offers views in every direction. Engineered piles keep the base from losing its balance. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms make great use of the relatively modest floor plan. A cavity slider offers the option of open-plan living or a separate lounge. The design reads as two bisecting rectangles. Services
are grouped internally at the centre and the main living zone stretches along the northfacing ridge. Sun blesses the open-plan domain with light and warmth. Ecofriendly cork flooring provides pleasant warmth underfoot. A membrane roof keeps the profile low so as not to break the structure’s horizontal line. The garage door is tucked away to the side. The covered outdoor dining area is awash in views and warmed by overhead heaters. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

Rustic refinement POHUEHUE There’s no option but to relax in this refined yet rustic retreat in the Mahurangi district, north of Auckland. The only difficulty is deciding where best to put your feet up. Perhaps in the laidback open-plan living area, or the cosy second lounge or the sweeping deck with water views. Or maybe you’re more of a pool person? Sunken into the deck, this spot has the best views in the house. A winged 263sqm layout cleverly embraces outdoor living, limiting the effect of prevailing winds while still capturing the sea breeze. Multiple glazed sliding doors create seamless flow between inside and out.

FORREST HILL PHOTOGRAPHY BY RALTESH CHANDRA
Designed for refined modern family living, this North Shore residence exudes spaciousness and open flow. Rising to two storeys, the modern weatherboard home has extremely generous proportions. Nothing has been forgotten on the 352sqm floor-plan with five bedrooms, three bathrooms and two living spaces. The media room is more like a home cinema with huge screen and block-out blinds. The sleek kitchen takes catering for crowds in its stride with not one, not two, but four ovens. The polished presentation is enhanced with glass pendants and
splashback. Timber flooring delivers raw natural appeal. An entire corner of the open-plan living space is eliminated thanks to full-height stacker sliders. Undercover outdoor living becomes an extension of the interior. Decking wraps around the swimming pool. Glass balustrades foster fluidity and flow. For more private bathing, two of the three bathrooms feature deep freestanding baths with double vanities. The incredibly spacious master ensuite is in keeping with this home’s impressive proportions. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

POINT WELLS PHOTOGRAPHY BY STIRLING OLIVIER
Every day is a holiday in this modern replacement for an old bach, on a site just north of Matakana. The challenging triangular shaped section and narrow driveway were no match for the savvy designers, who’ve achieved something truly special with this fourbedroom, three-bathroom home. The owners knew the lay of the land well, which was key to taking advantage of this spot. Plenty of windows capture natural light in winter and allow for cross ventilation in summer. The design also makes the most of established trees. Living areas spill onto a private sun-soaked deck,
which flows to the pool and spa. Inside, off the open-plan living zone, a carpeted formal lounge is a nice retreat. The dream kitchen with scullery is designed to serve everyday family needs and bigger get-togethers. The joinery subtly echoes the home’s cladding. White walls offer a blank canvas for the owners to display their favourites pieces of art. Future-proofed with an additional separate area for guests, hobbies or work-from-home opportunities, this house is sure to serve the family for many years to come.

BUILDING UP TO HOUSE OF THE YEAR Registered Master Builders House of the Year is back, and competition veteran Ross Faulkner shares his stories of success. Ross Faulkner is a stalwart of the building industry. Starting out in the late 70’s as a driven apprentice, his goal was always to run his own business. Ross started Faulkner Construction almost 40 years ago, initially taking on small contracts before moving into renovations, new builds, then joining the Registered Master Builders Association and entering his first House of the Year competition in 1999.
Celebrate the craft Like many in the industry, Ross views the House of the Year competition as a mark of distinction. He’s had finalists in the competition for a few years running now and continues to enter because the team enjoy it, it builds good relations and builds his brand. “House of the Year is great marketing because when customers see our results, they have confidence in us even before we’ve met.” But Ross says it’s down to staff experience too, his team love craftmanship and the competition is a reflection of their work. They value being involved and enjoy the reward of having their work recognised – there’s even a bit of banter around who’s going to win.
A winning team The Gold Award won by Faulkner Construction last year was in the ‘Builders Own Home’ category. The major reno stood
out for architectural detail and intricate design; it took skill to achieve what they did, and the judges marked accordingly.
They’re prompt and upfront with any issues and make sure the business doesn’t fork out for something that’s out of my control.”
In addition to top-notch architects and builders, Ross credits his success to solid building partners. He uses Bunnings Trade, who contribute towards the build not only with the supply of materials, but also with the support provided by their team. Having Account Managers on site means they see where the job is at, what’s going on and know in advance what’s required.
At the end of the day, Ross says to succeed in any industry you need people that stand beside you and support you when times are tough. You have to have relationships as well as a good pricing structure and consistency.
“I chose Bunnings because they’re honest – I value that. My Account Managers notice things and act on it accordingly, in time, to make sure there are no delays. If we wait for something that’s not available, it stuffs our job up. But they’ve been good at having it all.”
Backing the business Ross likes a bit of a yarn and has a few stories about Bunnings. “I don’t know how often I tell this story to other builders. Basically, Bunnings stepped in and helped us on several occasions. One time our concrete didn’t have the right amount of cement in it. It could have cost me eighty-odd thousand dollars. We had to rip all the concrete out and do it again. But Bunnings sorted it. They made sure I wasn’t out of pocket.” “They stand behind us, back us 100% and make sure we’re not disadvantaged. The loyalty Bunnings Trade showed me when there were problems is what’s telling.
Supporting new builds & builders Due to timings, Faulkner Construction won’t have a house in the competition this year – but hope to have three entries next year. Still, Ross is excited about the upcoming event, supporting the entrants and seeing the results. “New materials and products are out, so it’ll be interesting to see new designs, what catches the eye and what architects are picking up on this year. There are sharp architects out there doing a great job, and everyone follows them. This competition’s always great, specifically seeing the new guys who haven’t entered before, seeing them come through is brilliant.” Once again, the industry’s enjoying the build-up to the competition and we’re all holding our breath as to who will take out the Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards. To find out more about how Bunnings Trade can help you build or to get in touch with your local Bunnings Trade Account Manager, contact (09) 978 2200.

Designed specifically with the clients’ lifestyle in mind, this perfectly personalised home in Auckland’s south offers great functionality and fine finishing touches. A contrasting mix of traditional cladding materials – weatherboard and brick – hints at the interior style. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, double internal garaging and open-plan living with indoor-outdoor flow round out this two-storey package. The fresh white interior promotes natural light and allows the home’s forms to speak for themselves. Recessed lighting helps to ensure clean lines through-
out. Negative lighting details add depth in the chic entertainer’s kitchen – as does the dark overhead joinery. A large central island with waterfall end anchors this space well. The lounge sets the scene for cosy nights in front of the wall-hung TV and recessed fireplace. Well-chosen furnishings helps to define the space. Glazed sliders allow a smooth transition to the deck for outdoor entertaining. High-end finishes including feature tiles in the bathrooms give this home a luxurious lift.

Light-filled and low-maintenance, this east Auckland home is in tune with its cool, calm, coastal locale. The home unfolds down a gently sloping corner site, creating a split-level layout within – four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living spaces. Enrobed in red brick and dark painted weatherboard, the home is a modern classic. The mixed-cladding technique adds a contemporary feel to the traditionally styled structure. Large windows frame the pleasant outlook and allow natural light to fill the roomy interiors. This is a spacious,
sunny environment for everyday life and entertaining. The open-plan living area serves up tasteful and thoughtfully crafted spaces, including the striking kitchen with scullery. A black subway tile splashback with white grouting delivers another twist on tradition, tying in perfectly with the overall aesthetic. The kitchen is central to the dining and family areas. A separate lounge provides a comfy retreat. Elegant tiled bathrooms provide that extra layer of luxurious living within an already inviting home. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

“The elegant interiors now match the opulence of the exterior” Reminiscent of a 1930s American bungalow, this Auckland lakeside lovely has been given a full internal renovation, while preserving its exterior character. The home sits elevated with sea views to the east and a view of its poolside courtyard to the west. A basement room has been transformed into separate fully carpeted living quarters with lounge, bedroom and well-appointed bathroom. High-end appliances and stone benchtops epitomise luxury in the sleek contemporary kitchen upstairs. A feature partition separates the two new living areas.
A glass and steel feature window has given the central stairwell an open spacious feel. The staircase itself has been fully replaced with a new centrepiece. Tapered treads and glass balustrades create a modern look. All bedrooms and the hallway have luxurious new carpeting. The balance of the house boasts engineered timber flooring.

Urban update MT E D E N Before a makeover breathed new light and life into it, this weatherboard bungalow was feeling past its prime. But it did have one thing going for it – an ideal location in a sought-after Auckland suburb. Now it has much more. The owners wanted to bring the house up to modern standards to better serve themselves and their two children. The result is an airy, bright and functional home where they happily gather to eat and play. The upgrade required a two-pronged approach: an extension to the living spaces and a renovation of the existing dwelling to bring its form and functionality into

This is a deliberate design move that doesn’t seek to blur the lines, but to honestly express a contemporary addition.

A character-focussed renovation has brought this family home in Northcote up to speed with modern life. The renovation involved demolishing the back portion of a small existing villa, then building out, up and over what remained. New open-plan living enjoys superb indoor-outdoor flow, connecting to the rear decking and freshly landscaped grounds, ideal for enjoying barbecues. The scope of the project grew to include a full upgrade of the original home. This meant recladding, reroofing, repainting, replacing all joinery and installing new

insulation – all while keeping the existing character. The end result is a classic home, steeped in modern comfort. Warm, inviting interiors make for easy everyday living and entertaining. Fixtures and fittings bring a contemporary touch to the sleek kitchen with its island breakfast bar. A scullery is tucked away backstage. Tiles add drama and a designer feel from the splashback to the elegant, timeless bathroom spaces. The considered merging of new and existing elements makes for a brilliant cohesive finish.

ADVERTORIAL
You deserve peace of mind with the Master Build Multi-Unit 10-Year Guarantee Peace of mind for your apartment, duplex or townhouse – guaranteed. Buying your new home is exciting, and it is a big investment – probably one of the biggest investments of your lifetime. So, it makes sense to protect it with the Master Build Multi-Unit* 10-Year Guarantee.
Our market leading Guarantees have been developed in New Zealand for New Zealand families. It has protected more than 140,000 Kiwi homes over the last 25 years. Only a Registered Master Builder can offer you the peace of mind of a Master Build Multi-Unit 10-Year Guarantee. Registered Master Builders have been building quality homes for more than a century. But very occasionally, even for the best builders, something can go wrong. Choosing to buy a home built by a Registered Master Builder helps prevent this, and a Master Build Multi-Unit 10-Year Guarantee gives you even more peace of mind. David Kelly, Chief Executive of the Registered Master Builders Association, points out that the Master Build Multi-Unit 10-Year Guarantee provides much greater protection than both the Building Act and the Consumer Guarantees Act, which only apply if the building company that carried
out your building work is still around when your problem arises. While things usually go smoothly, there could be an issue with the build. Mr Kelly says the Guarantee provides protection to resolve any issues that arise down the track and helps protect your investment.

“Built to an enduring design with innovative techniques, this is a classic” This contemporary construction takes its cue from the timeless architecture of Mies van der Rohe and Philip Johnson. It’s the second of two complementary designs built on a large waterfront property in Auckland. The modernist design champions honest, practical use of a simple palette of materials. Steel, concrete, timber and glass have been subtly integrated into the whole. Such a seamless finish belies the degree of detailing and workmanship undertaken. Floor-to-ceiling glass opens the 475sqm interior to views over East Tamaki and Mt Wellington to the city.
Alfresco living includes a stunning outdoor kitchen and dining space. Five bedrooms, four bathrooms and two living spaces offer luxury and flexibility inside. Two distinctly expressed horizontal slabs form the floors and roof, sandwiching the open living spaces. The concrete walls are off-the-shutter concrete while the floating facades are hook-seam aluminium. This innovative design, including the eco-friendly building materials and technologies used, sets new standards for sustainability. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

B E AC H L A N D S PHOTOGRAPHY BY RON JEYE
Compact and contemporary, easy coastal living awaits in Auckland. Small on size and big on lifestyle, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom dwelling maximises every inch inside and out. The stylish dark stained gable-roof abode lacks for nothing – there’s even an adjoining garage, enclosed courtyard and views across to rural paddocks. There’s an easy flow between alfresco spaces and the stylish 85sqm interior. White walls and joinery keep the interior light, bright, uncluttered and helps create a sense of spaciousness.
The U-shaped open-plan kitchen may be compact but lacks for nothing with its minimalist Scandi aesthetic, complete with white subway tiles and modern pendant lighting. The Scandi feel continues into the bathroom, with a light wood vanity and concrete-look tiles. The tiles are repeated in the kitchen for continuity throughout. The convenience of this compact home really does have everything its owners need for modern life – all within close distance of the ocean. For more of this house go to houseoftheyear.co.nz

Perched on an elevated site, this Auckland abode has real poise. An attractive mix of exposed brick and dark painted weatherboard creates lovely street appeal. Lush landscaping gives the home an established feel. It’s so easy to relax in the light and laidback open-plan living space, the heart of this 144sqm home. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and single-car internal garaging serve the owners’ lifestyle with ease. Floor-to-ceiling curtains add softness and help to keep the warmth in. A ceiling fan is an energy efficient addition, recirculating heat in winter and keeping a cool
head in summer. Tiled floors and carpeting strike just the right balance of cosy and easy clean surfaces. The well-designed kitchen makes for simple, fuss-free living and entertaining. Double ovens, a gas cooktop and dishwasher all serve the home cook well. Pull back the glass slider and step out to the cute covered patio. Box planters and built-in bench seating invites everyone to enjoy the outdoors. This clever design makes the most of its section and promises years of easy living for its happy owners.

OUTSIDE
round the globe, smart thinkers know that outdoor living areas are best enjoyed throughout the year. Of a winter evening you will see Parisians sipping wine on the pavements, at cafes with radiant overhead electric heaters. In London, pub patrons hellbent on fresh air are offered rugs and when the sun goes down in Tangiers, well-positioned walls retain vestiges of the day’s stored heat, while sheltering alfresco diners from the evening’s cool breezes. THE HEAT IS ON Gathering around a fire is the most time-honoured way to keep warm. Modern firepits help tame the elements, while giving a new sophistication to 21st-century gardens and courtyards. Mobile, fixed, state-of-the-art, traditional – there’s a design style for every space. For areas where outdoor solidfuel fires are prohibited, gas pits substitute well. They get around the need to burn wood, coal or pellets, and also the clearing away of ashes. Stylish new designs in radiant gas and electric heaters are showing that cool-weather outdoor living is finally being taken seriously here. Check

out Heatsail’s classy dome outdoor floor lamp and heater and Gasmate’s lighthouse-inspired Inferno Outdoor Heater. IT’S A WRAP Then there’s rugging up. Snug, cosy and natural – we’re talking about cashmere, merino and mohair throws. When guests come without enough layers, make outdoor entertaining as inviting as possible – have a pile of rugs and shawls waiting in the wings to keep everyone warm. Add a sheepskin or two for super-cosy seating. WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH Furniture that’s outdoors 24/7, enduring the sun, heat, rain, cold and worse has to be tough. The natural elegance of timber furniture makes it perennially popular, but always buy the best you can afford – the sturdier the better. Remember that even rot-resistant woods, such as teak, cedar, and white oak, need regular oiling or other protective treatments to prevent warping and cracking. In areas of high rainfall, metal is an enduring and versatile alternative. Aluminium furniture
cushions and squabs shouldn’t be left out all year. If you don’t have handy waterproof storage or a deck box and find lugging them inside and outside a drag, at least store them in situ on their sides so that any rainwater drains off rather than soaks in.
When not in use, leave metal chairs
on their sides to prevent water pooling in the seats and encouraging rust.
is light and portable, but needs to be kept out of strong winds. Stainless steel has a contemporary utilitarian look and it won’t rust, making it great for the coast, but it can heat up fiercely in the sun. Concrete furniture is extremely durable, and, like wood, it weathers well, pitting and softening with the years. Resin is considered long-lasting but, like plastic, has a tendency to discolour over time when exposed to the elements. Plastic-coated wicker may please the eye and seem practical, but the plastic will degrade eventually – and not before all those crannies in the weave have become home to a host of spiders and other creepy crawlies. PLANT IT UP When using your outdoor space year-round, plants need to look good year-round as well. Evergreen natives are usually easy care, especially if you have those endemic to your region. Palms lend a tropical holiday air. But celebrate the seasons too – add plants that flower in spring or summer, those with leaves or berries in visually warm autumn colours and trees with beautiful trunks and bark that are alluring, even when leafless.
Placing the renovation or construction of your long-awaited dream home into the hands of a contractor is a huge leap of faith. After all, this is the place where you’ll live, entertain and relax. It’s somwhere you’ve spent time and money planning and, on completion, a place you can truly sit back and enjoy. So the qualities you look for when choosing a builder are fundamental ones. You want reliability, flexibility, creativity and experience.
