Blurring the lines between
inside and out ensures this
new home by Fowler Homes
(above right) caters to modern
lifestyles.
The house is built on a
relatively confined site, so
every inch of available space
is used to provide generous
living spaces, inside and out.
The innovative solutions
that make this possible have
been recognised by judges
in the 2014 Master Builders
House of the Year Awards.
The home won the Placemakers New Homes $350,000
– $450,000 Gold Award and
Local Category Award in the
Bay of Plenty-Central Plateau
region. The home also won a
national Gold Reserve Award.
The impressive sense of
flow in the house is enhanced
by recessed runners, which
create an almost seamless
transition between the interior timber flooring and the
deck. The home is just as
comfortable in winter, with
full-ducted
gas
heating.
