From the heart

Successfully creating a striking contemporary home is quite simple, really. Once you've found the right patch of land, all you have to do is engage an experienced designer and builder who can deliver a modern, ecologically sound residence that makes the most of your location and budget.

McRaeway Homes started out in 1965, when housing pioneer Ian McRae developed a house-build production system that made building a new home more achievable for many New Zealanders. Today, over 6000 Kiwi families can attest to the streamlined processes and level of workmanship that go into a McRaeway home. This dedication to creating solid, finely finished homes has seen the company resist the option of franchising its well-respected brand. Following this hands-on approach has paid off McRaeway Homes has won a string of Master Builder house awards in its category.

The McLaren show home pictured is the latest addition to McRaeway Homes' award-winning Limelight series all named in honour of world-famous Kiwis who have achieved on the international stage. A generous 238m² in size, with a contemporary, low-line design and a monopitch roof in four staggered sections, the four-bedroom McLaren is clad in a combination of plaster, Linea weatherboards and classic stone schist. The open-plan, meandering interior features high, sloping ceilings through the kitchen, family, formal dining and lounge areas.

With head office, sales and production plant in Timaru, sales centres in Invercargill and Alexandra, and show homes in Timaru and Cromwell, McRaeway has a wide range of house designs to suit most family lifestyles and budgets.
