Design Builders Waikato is the proud recipient of a Trends International Design Awards 2020 award for an innovative New
York loft-style home in Hamilton.
The Trends International Design Awards (TIDAs) is a coveted event by Trends, a resource for home design ideas through
print, digital, and online media. The team at Design Builders Waikato was not only thrilled to be a part of the event
but to win an award for their large family home build with spectacular views over the Waikato River.
Design Builders CEO Andrew Price said the team was ecstatic to be recognised among New Zealand’s best when it came to
the design and build process of unique homes.
“The Design Builders Waikato team worked extremely hard on this project, including Jeff Marra and his team, and our
in-house design team and interior designer, Emma Fenwick and Paula Waterhouse. We can’t wait for people to see it in
person at the open viewings.”
The award-winning show home was designed with New York loft living in mind, but also with the surroundings of both the
Waikato River and natural riverside fauna. The design and build team worked with the clients to construct a large family
home that offered northern sun, outdoor flow, and innovative use of large open spaces.
They also had to work through challenges such as geotechnical restrictions and steep embankments, but the result was a
two-storey home with clever engineered foundations and exquisite styling from top to bottom.
The ground floor of 22 Riverpoint Glade consists of a master wing with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, a double-height
kitchen, living and dining area, and colonial bars for authenticity. On the second floor, homeowners can benefit from
three bedrooms, a second living area, a study nook, and seamless flow from one storey to the next.
The Design Builders Waikato team also left no stone unturned in creating perfection on the home’s exterior. Recycled
brick, cedar, and trough metal were used to carry on the unique New York loft-style theme, while there is also an
outdoor entertainment area with a built-in fireplace, cabinetry, and a beautiful Waikato River backdrop.
See the award-winning home in the flesh at 22 Riverpoint Glade, Hamilton. Open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 pm – 4
pm. Contact Jeff Marra on 027 488 00 44 or email jeff.marra@designbuilders.co.nz for a private viewing appointment.
