After years of hard work and doing endless repairs and maintenance, owning a brand new, warm dry home has huge appeal. Especially the benefits that make life easier and warmer such as double glazed windows, modern insulation systems and heat pumps.”
Cavalier Homes Manawatu’s entry into this year’s Manawatu Master Builders House of the Year has earnt them many accolades. It is a 315m2 single story home with extensive views over rural Fielding. The home has three bedrooms along with with a studio, open plan kitchen and family room area adjoining a formal dining and lounge area. Three bathrooms and a powder room provide future proofing for resale value along with a three car garage.
As it is built on a sloping site, the area was leveled by elevating the site at one end, to ensure extensive indoor/outdoor entertaining areas. Materials were carefully chosen to make the house low maintenance, warmer and healthier. Colour steel corrugated iron roof and rockcote Integra were chosen to enhance the schist stone work around the chimney and feature wall.
Designed for an artist, the design provides a sense of spaciousness with a 2.7 stud and 2.4 metre Aluminum joinery to take advantage of the all-day sun and amazing views. A walk-in scullery, central kitchen, dining and family room also typify the spaciousness of the design. The home heating options include two gas fires, heat pump, and also under tile heating in the wet areas.
As well as the gold award the home won the Pink Batts Energy Efficiency Award, and the Gib Living Solutions Award, from all this year’s entries.
