David Reid Taupo’s architectural show home was a show stopper at the 2021 Registered Master Builders House of the Year awards.
Winning the Bay of Plenty/Central Plateau Show home category for this two-storey house, designed with ultimate family living in mind, it features two separate living areas, three designer bathrooms and four generously sized bedrooms, each with views of Lake Taupo and Mt Tauhara.
The stylish kitchen, scullery, bar and media room are an entertainer’s dream. The kitchen takes advantage of the sunny outlook with sliding doors opening onto a wraparound deck, complete with louvre system providing shade and shelter.
From the minute you spot this two-storey home, you know you are in for something special. The combination of claddings, colours and shapes, plus the pergola that flows around the deck, make for a striking building.
Step inside and you’ll find surprises around every corner – an American white ash and steel staircase, a bar with a built-in coffee machine and a mirrored-glass splashback.
Family living revolves around the black kitchen with its leathered granite benchtop and hidden scullery.
A gas boiler system runs underfloor heating, radiators and towel rails. Bedrooms and living areas get lots of sun and warmth, and louvres and air conditioning keep things cool in summer.
The David Reid Homes Taupo franchise extends across much of the Central Plateau including the Waitomo & Otorohanga Districts, South Waikato District and the Taupo District. We’ve been building premium architectural homes in Taupo since 2004.
The broad area covered by the Taupo franchise demands a significant amount of localised design and build expertise, to account for the vast geographic demands. And you’re in solid hands – our Taupo team are locals and know the area as only locals do.
