the custodians of quality and innovation in New Zealand residential construction,” says Registered Master Builders chief executive, David Kelly. “These Top 100 homes showcase everything from sustainability and innovation to skilled workmanship. The quality builds reflect the evolving values and needs of New Zealand’s homeowners.” As seen here, one evident trend is indoor-outdoor flow, with spaces cleverly designed to provide covered areas. “Year after year we are seeing new and innovative building and interior design trends emerge,” says competition judge, Eric Dally. “This year (2019) we have seen outdoor living spaces become more sophisticated with homeowners prioritising their indoor-outdoor flow.” Also seen in this Merivale creation is the use of timber to provide softness.
