Enviable Living

Mason and Mason Building Contractors

On the banks of Lake Karapiro sits a house built with precision and style, exemplifying everything Mason and Mason Building Contractors aim to achieve when completing a build.

As Cambridge craftsmen, we have been building homes in the Waikato region for the past 18 years and as first-time entrants in the  Registered Master Builders House of the Year, we were stoked to win a Regional Gold and Top 100 nationally for this cedar-clad beauty.

The house is made up of three streamlined pods, connected by multifunctional courtyards and covered decks, making sure the indoors flow seamlessly to the outside living spaces, no matter what the Waikato weather conjures up. 

Each pod is anchored in place with the clean lines of cedar cladding and the simplicity of recessed windows, allowing the surrounding beauty of the natural environment to be framed at every point in the house.

Polished concrete floors are a practical and hard-wearing option throughout the main living areas, soaking up maximum sunshine to ensure a warm environment and complimenting the custom-built concrete hearth. The open fire sits on the hearth and anchors the living space with a feeling of welcoming warmth.

The modern monochrome kitchen is streamlined with entertaining in mind. The subtle use of brass and cedar details make it a striking hub and a cleverly placed window allows for views of lush farmland.

Within this finely crafted 325 sqm home, there is a place for everyone; a place to retreat, a place to connect, a place to spread out. 

This Karapiro home epitomises the superb workmanship that Mason and Mason Building Contractors aim for on every build. We show this commitment to all our clients and aim to ensure that we simplify the building process, making it easy no matter what the size or type of build we are presented with.
