The Registered Master Builders House of the Year awards celebrate the very best in residential building. Winners of this year’s regional East Coast & Hawkes Bay competition were announced during a virtual ceremony hosted by MC Ben Hurley on Saturday 21 August.

DStevens is thrilled that FAB ONE – designed by Bonnifait + Giesen Architects – was awarded a Regional Gold and announced the Regional Category Winner for New Homes $450,000 – $600,000.

Congratulations to our wonderful client, and thank you for trusting DStevens to bring your vision to life. We also wish to acknowledge the hard work and attention to detail from everyone involved in the design and construction of this beautiful home.

We are incredibly proud of what these two accolades signify – our enduring commitment to high-quality spaces and places throughout Gisborne and the wider Tairāwhiti / East Coast region.

ABOUT THE HOUSE OF THE YEAR AWARDS

The House of the Year competition is judged by a team of experts who visit each home at least once. Homes are first judged at a regional level and awarded a range of quality marks. Category, lifestyle and the Regional Supreme Winners (for both new builds and renovations) are announced at events around the country from July onwards.

From those entries, up to 100 properties will reach Top 100 status and go through to a second round of judging for the national competition. In November the National House of the Year Awards take place, and the National category winners and the Supreme House of the Year are announced.
