Congratulations to Dress My Nest and Landmark Homes Wellington, winners of the 2026 TIDA New Zealand Group Home Build...

This pale-toned, refined kitchen forms the central anchor point of the home – an adroit layout enhances flow for large gatherings while providing an ideal base for day-to-day family meal preparation

A gleaming 5.6m-long marble island – a significant architectural feat in its own right – stands as the centrepiece of this attractive-meets-practical family kitchen

For this project, three new bathrooms add to the charm of the original home – subtle design details tie the bathrooms together, ensuring consistency, while each space still achieves its own identity

This holiday home is bedded into the landscape, hunkering down from the harsh coastal weather – both roof and cladding in muted, rugged colour-coated steel

'Understated' this contemporary kitchen's mainly handless cabinetry may be – but the resulting uninterrupted walls hold a wealth of storage

From taps to toilets, showers to vanities – in this episode of Trends Property Insight Series, Plumbing World's Jennifer Price offers expert bathroom renovation advice

Verdant green tiling provides contrast to the other pared-back elements in this bathroom – sometimes the decor goes deeper, providing a calming ambience as well as a pretty surface

Nothing turns a home into a private resort faster than the addition of a sparkling pool – as this Singaporean home punctuated at rear with an infinity-edge pool reflects

Nothing suits a sculptural home and kitchen more than sculptural tapware – here, the wall-hung picture is not the only artwork in the room

Reflecting hygge (a Danish concept representing a cosy, contented mood), this sustainable family home for a New Zealand/Danish family features blonded timbers, warm textures and locked-in thermal performance

Both the guest bathroom and guest WC have been given a resort-like ambience in this project – a spacious shower, a private in-room sauna to promote relaxation, and garden views are all part of the pampering feel
