Registered Master Builders National Supreme House of the Year | 2018 | Marshlands House

Set among mature trees on a generous semi-rural site, this Christchurch home brings a refined, contemporary edge to its surroundings. The two-storey form is defined by clean lines, extensive glazing and carefully balanced proportions that invite light and connection throughout.

Designed for family living, the six-bedroom home (each with its own ensuite) includes a library, office, wine cellar and theatre — all seamlessly integrated within a considered layout that prioritises flow and functionality.

A floating stone staircase acts as the sculptural centrepiece, its presence anchoring the light-filled interior. Materials of stone, glass and timber work in harmony to create warmth and permanence.

The master suite offers a quiet retreat, complete with walk-in robe, ensuite.

Recognised with the Supreme New Build of the Year, New Home over $2 Million, and Bathroom Excellence awards at the Master Builders Awards, this home exemplifies contemporary design executed with precision and restraint.
