First BUILD

Modified Bellbird

Meet Kimberley & Alec

Kimberley and Alec wanted to get onto the property ladder and keep costs down, without compromising on comfort for their growing family. Opting for a Signature Homes House & Land package located in a new residential development in Glenbrook. They settled on our popular Bellbird plan, from the Smart Collection.

The generous 164m2 of internal living, combined with the open plan kitchen and dining, plus double car garaging was a real selling point. They tweaked the plan slightly to accommodate for their growing family. Customised features included, the addition of an attic for extra storage, and turning the flexi-room/ fourth bedroom into an extra living space for the kids to enjoy.

Long vertical windows were introduced inviting sunlight and warmth into the main living areas, setting the tone for a light-filled family home.

Red brick was chosen to add a point of difference from the surrounding black-brick clad houses within the development.

Meet Hayden & Amanda

Hayden and Amanda started looking for existing homes and quickly realised they could build a brand new home for almost the same price. The couple wanted something simple for their first home that still had design flair and a youthful edge.

The Taranaki pair knew they wanted to keep things simple to stick to their budget but also ensure the home had room to grow. They settled on the popular Rosella after experiencing it in person at a showhome, with some added personal touches.

Personality was added to Hayden & Amanda’s new build with a stunning dark kitchen and bright orange front door, plus sections of James Hardie Linea weatherboard to break up the home’s brick exterior.

"Our experience with our new home consultant was the number one reason we chose Signature Homes"

A family home with resale value in mind was key for this Tauranga family. High on their list of necessities for their new Signature home was a statement fireplace, private outdoor living, a butler’s pantry, walk-in wardrobe and a large study.

The couple approached their New Home Consultant with a rough plan for their new home, which was then expertly designed by Signature’s architects to suit their needs and budget. They also took care to design it with resale in mind, knowing they plan to move on after about five years – to their next Signature home!

The couple decided to save on their exterior cladding with a simple white brick, which gives the home a classic and hardwearing look. This allowed them to splurge elsewhere, including an impressive covered outdoor area, a larger kitchen with open shelves and a walk-in pantry, plus extra-large windows throughout the home.

Clarissa & Marco wanted the bathroom in their new home to wow their guests. As high traffic areas, they splurged on extra tiling, a built-in shower and a feature bath, which all elevate the space.

Meet Jamie & Matt

Jamie and Matt wanted to build their family home in beautiful Papamoa with room to grow. After moving from busy Mount Maunganui, they knew the beachside town was the perfect place to raise their family.

The home's layout was inspired by the Caroline plan from our Pacific Collection, which they saw in-person at a Signature showhome just down the road from their new home. They made a few tweaks to better suit their lifestyle such as removing a study and scullery to allow space for a full laundry, and large shed. The master was also relocated for more privacy, and an outdoor shower was added behind the garage.

The home's exterior is a beautiful modern mix of James Hardie linea oblique weatherboard in Resene Nero, and Vulcan vertical board in Straw. An extra-large kitchen with extra bench space and hidden shelves instead of a butler's pantry was a must-have. The bright white cabinetry is perfectly complemented by stunning gold tapware and handles.

Meet Jimmy

For Jimmy, the decision to build new was an easy one. He always knew he wanted to live in a brand new home of his own, after living as a student in Otago in uninsulated housing.

Jimmy wanted the opportunity to Design & Build a home of his own, that was ideal for entertaining with ample room for flatmates, so he approached Signature Homes with a floorplan he had designed from scratch. Together they worked on fine tuning the floorplan to create a layout tailored to Jimmy’s requirements, turning his dreams on paper into reality.

His list of must-haves included maximizing natural light, a gas fireplace in the lounge, a big north facing deck and a large open plan diningliving-kitchen area. Perfect spaces were created for entertaining with friends and family.

The striking exterior façade was achieved using Horizontal Lineaboard in Resene Double Cod Grey, and crisp white accents accentuating the look.

The designer kitchen complemented with black accents create a sense of flow and connectivity between the exterior and interior of the home. Bestwood Melamine cabinetry adds a textured, grained surface effect to the space. The choice of bold dark hues add a nice touch of elegance to Jimmy’s mancave.

Meet Rachel & Marc

Rachel and Marc mulled over a few plan options, deciding that they liked the layout of Signature Homes showhome in Papamoa, which was based on our Caroline Plan. They made a couple of tweaks to the plan, adding a walkin wardrobe in the master bedroom and some slight adjustments to the living area.

Good-sized kids' bedrooms were a must-have for Rachel and Marc, as they plan to be in their home for years to come. Children's bedrooms would need to transition into teenage bedrooms easily.

They were clear from the start that they wanted a dark exterior with white joinery. Picture frame windows and boxed corners assist in achieving their modern farmhouse look.

Inside, you’ll find standout features such as antique brass handles and a beautiful stone benchtop that adds a striking contrast against the black cabinetry. The Van Krieken’s kept their wall colours neutral so that they could introduce different colours through their interior furnishings. Black tapware was a must, as was the barn door to tick off the ‘modern farmhouse’ brief. They were clear from the start that they wanted a dark exterior with white joinery.

Meet Shell & Lee

A house to grow into and for all to enjoy sums up Shell and Lee's brief. They love to socialise, host family from the UK and dabble in a few movie nights! There was also the consideration of their two fur babies, who were the recipients of their own designated space, which comes complete with a fenced-off 'pet garden'.

The easy flow, open plan living and access to the outdoors at both ends of the home of the Tavai plan ticked a lot of our boxes. They worked with their Signature Homes design team to tweak the plan adding in a separate laundry and extending the open plan living space. The addition of extended sliding doors and full-length windows captures the indoor-outdoor flow even more so.

The brick exterior is inspired by growing up in England. The white brick with black joinery in ‘Flax’ adds a modern feeling to the home. Lush green plants help to soften the white brick creating a gorgeous botanical feel.

The rugged concrete stone bench creates a statement piece in the open-plan living space, and natural materials with a light and dark colour scheme, symbolise Taranaki beaches and landscape.

"They always made us feel welcome, appreciated and like nothing was too much trouble"

Meet Anjuli & Ross

As you walk through the front door of the Parkland plan, you're welcomed by a wide hallway, with feature glass windows framing the garden and adding a natural element to the home.

The master suite is separated from the other three bedrooms, and open-plan living is ideal for entertaining. A media room provides a cosy space for relaxation, making our Parkland plan ideal for family living.

Further bonuses include a three-car garage, impressive walk-in pantry and generous separate laundry.

Meet Linda & Graham

After many months of house hunting, only to find homes that needed significant refurbishing, Linda and Graham decided to build new.

The couple’s list of must-haves included a powder room, separate laundry, high quality finishes, raked ceiling and spacious airy interiors.

The Shoebridge plan is the epitome of low-maintenance living, with all the modern comforts in mind. It captures all-day sun, allowing the central openplan living spaces are adorned with abundant natural light and are cocooned by three bedrooms all with their own ensuite.

The striking pavilion ceiling helps to create the illusion of more space and contributes to a Hamptons-inspired home. The neutral colour palette inspired by New Zealand’s beautiful coast, helps to define a Hamptons-style home with a Kiwi touch.

The exterior features a combination of white brick and Horizontal Lineaboard in Resene Whitewater from James Hardie, adding a sense of texture and giving this home a natural and elegant feel.

Meet Ben & Kelly

Our Westmere build is a Knock Down & Rebuild project in Westmere, Auckland. Originally on the property was a tired-looking 1930's bungalow that needed a complete makeover. Property owners Ben and Kelly decided the best thing to do was to start again, opting for Signature Homes complete Knock-Down & Rebuild project management service.

The Johnson's wanted to honour the original 1920's and 1930's character bungalows, creating a modernised bungalow that did not look out of place amongst the older homes on the street.

The modern bungalow look was achieved using weatherboard timber on the exterior and corrugated iron roofing. Inside the home, you'll find blonde oak engineered timber floors and cool white tones throughout each space.

Meet Bryan & Marie

The owners of this two-level home in New Plymouth spent eight years living in 17 different rental properties around NZ after the Christchurch earthquakes before finally settling in the coastal Taranaki town. Having lived in so many different homes, they had a good idea of what they wanted. Spacious living flowing out onto a well-positioned deck to capture sea views, as well as a garage with dedicated storage space were both must-haves.

The ground floor features two generous double bedrooms plus a large family bathroom opening onto a small courtyard. Upstairs, the master bedrooms takes pride of place, connected to the living areas via extensive decking.

Our Karere plan is ideal for those wanting a standout family home with all of life's luxuries.

The striking exterior was achieved using Abodo's premium weatherboard timber product and Rockcote Integra cladding system. Large windows with multiple skylights create a gorgeous light-filled home.

Spread over two stories, the home features 337m2 of internal living space, which houses four double bedrooms, three separate living areas, a study and a double internal-access garage. The huge 102m2 Kwila deck complements the impressive cedar cladding perfectly, resulting in a home that is a treat to look at while still blending in with its natural environment in beautiful Nelson.

Molly and Brett love all that Raglan has to offer, and having lived there for many years, they decided it was time to build a home that truly complemented their lifestyle and growing family.

As their section sits right on the reserve of the Raglan Harbour, capturing the wild and ever-changing landscape was a must.

Large windows and multiple areas connecting to the outdoors were high on Molly and Brett's list, as were interior elements such as wood and stainless steel features to create a cosy coastal feel.

The modified Toto plan features an impressive layout like our original Toto plan where the couple worked with their Signature Homes architect to cleverly reorganise our Toto design to complement their stunning section.

The rearrangement of the living and bedroom spaces create a highly organised home, with outdoor living in mind. Each space interacts with the outdoors, providing a variety of stunning views throughout the home.

The design also needed to allow for a large decking area, with multiple areas to relax and entertain.

"The team was helpful, knowledgable and their attention to detail was impeccable"

Meet Peter

Peter and his companion Aero, the dog, enjoy a relaxed coastal lifestyle in Whakatane. Their new home is the epitome of modern lifestyle living. The top three 'must-haves' were to create a low-maintenance, energy-efficient, modern home.

You enter Peter’s modern abode via a boardwalk deck and step into large open spaces. The pavilion-style home means all bedrooms are tucked away from the living areas, and the master suite comes complete with access to the decking area. Well-considered ‘value adds’ include a cloak cupboard for guests, a spacious study to work from home, and an under-bench wine fridge in the stunning scullery.

Peter's brief of an East Coast inspired home comes to life with tan and cream accents and coastal furnishings. The home truly complements its semi-rural surroundings. The exterior catches the sunlight at all the right times, where the Abodo timber cladding in "Straw" creates beautiful creamy blonde shades throughout the day.

Honouring the beautiful environment was an absolute must-have when designing this stunning home right on the edge of Waihi Beach in the Bay of Plenty. Everything was thoughtfully designed to bring the outside in, from the choice of cedar cladding right through to the engineered timber floors in antique oak. The layout of this impressive fourbedroom home is centred around a tunnel view from the front door right through to the ocean at the other end of the home. This design is an entertainer’s delight, with spacious indoor and outdoor living areas including a luxurious firepit with sweeping views across the beach.

The home's colour palette and materials complement the coastal lifestyle and forever changing ocean views.

The exterior cladding is a mix of Abodo timber cladding and Celcrete, which helps to create dimension to the exterior. Inside, you'll find neutral colours and pops of green and pink to showcase a bit of character and design flair.

This barn-inspired home was designed with practicality in mind, and driven by a need for spaces for a family to live, laugh and play. The owners decided to knock down their 120sqm 1950s home on a family section in Moutere, near Nelson, and build their forever home in its place.

Relax and escape enjoying the stunning scenery, perfectly framed by large windows

The plan comprises two gable volumes – one long, one short – laid side by side. The smaller gable hosts the private master sanctuary with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, plus a laundry, toilet and double garage. The larger gable contains the open-plan kitchen living and dining plus three bedrooms, separate lounge and family bathroom. Lots of storage and garaging was essential, as was taking advantage of an incredible view over the Moutere Estuary and Tasman Sea.

Meet Gill & Steve

The owners of this stunning new home in Tauranga wanted to achieve a barn style home to celebrate their heritage and their love for converted barns - a popular choice in their original hometown in Essex.

Spread over two wings, this barn-inspired 283.7m2 home features four double bedrooms, two living spaces, a study nook and a double internal access garage.

The modern barn look is achieved through soaring cathedral style ceilings, open plan living spaces, an abundance of sliding doors and large windows to welcome the outdoors inside.

Two separate wings define spaces with an abundance of windows to capture the stunning views

Robinson

Meet The Robinsons

Our Robinson plan is the epitome of a modern farmhouse, and those looking for a premium lifestyle build will love the design features of this plan. The timeless design is defined by two wings, with open plan spaces and a seamless connection to the outdoors. An abundance of windows invites the outdoors in each day. The soft white interiors with subtle shades of greens create a calming effect throughout the home, enhancing the semi-rural lifestyle.

Each angle of the home provides a pleasing aesthetic. Adobo’s Vulcan timber cladding product features in the ‘Nero’ finish and complements the exquisite sunsets, bringing a warm glow across the home. Meanwhile, the darker wood brings a touch of drama.

Aluminium joinery framing accentuates the gable roof lines and frames the home beautifully.

Matangi

A standout entryway sets the scene for this beautiful farmhouse

Meet our Matangi plan

This stunning rural build in Waikato is reminiscent of a French farmhouse, striking the perfect balance between rustic and sophisticated. The twin gable ends provide shelter for a fabulous outdoor area that could be utilised all year round. Inside, the large kitchen island and scullery turn the functional kitchen space into the hub of the home. The open plan main living area is perfect for entertaining, and with a slightly separate media room, there's space for the kids to hang out without being too disconnected.

Murdock

Meet Melissa & Mark

Offering a contemporary take on country-style living, the Murdock stylishly combines elements of rural warmth with today’s modern musts.

A wide frontage creates a warm welcome and the family-friendly layout cleverly groups the kids’ bedrooms in a dedicated wing at one end, together with a bathroom, TV room and laundry. While the master bedroom with an indulgent walk-in wardrobe and lavish ensuite is at the opposite end of the home along with a separate study for extra privacy.

The home's exterior features a statement brick laid in a cobbling pattern to create a more dramatic effect. Combined with Vertical Truwood weatherboard on the entrance and outdoor living porticos to create contrast and complement the natural surroundings.

Inside the relaxed country feel is bought to life with a modern country kitchen, complete with shaker cabinets, a sundrenched window seat, barn doors, and Hardie Grove Lining on the entry, kitchen, dining and living area ceilings.

Seavill

Meet Cris & Geoff

When the owners of this jaw-dropping home in the Bay of Plenty decided to move on from their terraced house in popular Mount Maunganui to embark on their building journey, they knew they wanted to make the most of the opportunity for extra space. Taking inspiration from the Seaview plan, the design was tweaked slightly to suit the family's needs while the interior and exterior takes on a completely different look and feel. Impressive vintage oak flooring carries through the kitchen, dining and living areas to create a seamless entertaining space. Huge sliding doors open to reveal an outdoor living area like no other - complete with gas fireplace and level-entry to provide uninhibited indoor/outdoor flow. A pool overlooking the large section and water views completes this family home.

"Signature Homes was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was polite, on time and incredible to work with"

Meet Jude & Yan

Our clients brief for the stunning Ascot plan was ‘large family living with a resort-like feel’, and that is exactly what they got.

The mixed cladding gives an opulent vibe while the lush, grand entranceway leads into bright and airy open-plan living spaces.

As you move through the home, you'll find the children's bedrooms and play area in the northern wing and the master bedroom with ensuite and adults lounge in the southern wing.

Featuring five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, there is ample space for all to enjoy. Large outdoor spaces allow for entertainment and play year round, and the swimming pool with tropical landscaping further cements the resort-style living.

Meet Wessel & Megan

What's not to love about this incredibly well-considered home in Waikato?

Property owners Wessel and Megan wanted a home for all seasons, with lots of sheltered outdoor spaces and sun-drenched bedrooms and living spaces.

The expansive decking area comes complete with bifold doors to fight off the prevailing winds creating a cosy outdoor space in the winter months.

Bedrooms are generous in size for their children to grow into, seeming like a castle now but offering the ideal space for their teenage years. There is so much space for this gorgeous family to enjoy; even the hallways are grand in their size.

Extensive decking provides ample space for entertainment and shelter from the elements all year round.

"We'd build with Signature Homes again in a heartbeat. We had lots of laughs along the way!"
