Fowler Homes Auckland South wins 2023 TIDA New Zealand Group Home Builder of the Year

This inviting architecturally designed home sits across two levels and is ideally situated on a challenging site.

The wedge-shaped site slopes quickly down to a creek, and so required retaining, while the layout of the home was split between two pavilions, angled to follow the side boundaries.

Thoughtful design makes the most of the northern aspect to  maximise solar gain, while still providing privacy  from a vacant building site next door.

The barn-style structure is appropriately clad in a combination of low maintenance aluminium weatherboards, vertical oak boards and stone.

Stone also features inside, on the imposing structure that accommodates the fireplace and tv in the lounge, and acts as a space divider on the kitchen/dining side.

A private master suite is carefully located away from the road, while a guest suite comes complete with its own outdoor area.

The TIDA judges felt that the resulting design has successfully overcome the site challenges, to create a distinctive home packed with features.
