28 | PROPERTY Landmark Homes - Taupō T T Virginia Wright Two superb homes, two gold awards The Landmark Homes Showhome located at 69 Rokino Rd, Hilltop, Taupō | Open daily 1.00pm - 4.00pm. Landmark Homes Taupō has once again been recognised for the exceptional quality it delivers, from the initial design of their new homes through to final completion. The Taupō team has added two more Registered Master Builders House of the Year Gold Awards to its impressive collection. The latest accolades continue a long history of success across a wide variety of homes, build types and price ranges, further cementing Landmark Homes Taupō’s reputation as the region’s premium new home builder. Awarded Gold in both the Bunnings New Home $1 million–$1.5 million category and the GIB Showhome category, the two homes demonstrate the team’s ability to Design and Build homes that maximise the potential of their sites. The judges praised the award-winning Showhome’s thoughtful response to its sloping site, noting how the clever design transformed a compact footprint into a spacious, light-filled home connected to its surroundings. Achieving this began with removing the original 1960s home and carefully subdividing the property. This created two quality building platforms, each offering privacy from the road and views across Lake Taupō and the township. The Showhome project began with a detailed feasibility study and followed Landmark Homes’ Remove, Rebuild and Subdivide process. The second Gold Award was presented for a bespoke Design and Build home in Kinloch. The project began with a 1,512m² site overlooking the world-renowned Jack Nicklaus Golf Course. Designed specifically for its owners and the golf-course setting, the home captures its surroundings beautifully. Over-height joinery and a north-facing outdoor entertaining pavilion frame panoramic views across the fairway towards Lake Taupō and Mount Ruapehu. The carefully considered architecture embraces these views while keeping the home’s visual impact to a minimum. Its low-slung profile and angled mono-pitch rooflines allow it to sit naturally within the site, while generous overhangs provide shelter and seasonal shading. Textured masonry and timber elements soften the sleek contemporary form and balance the expansive areas of glazing. An internal courtyard draws light and warmth into the home while providing privacy and a sheltered outdoor space that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Confident yet restrained, every detail has been designed around the client’s brief. The home responds intelligently to its site and offers effortless indoor-outdoor living. With an award-winning layout and thoughtful positioning that makes the golf course feel like an extension of the living room, it is fitting that this exceptional Kinloch home should add another Gold to Landmark Homes Taupō’s impressive collection of House of the Year Awards. Behind every Landmark home is an experienced local team committed to exceptional quality and personal service. Landmark Homes Taupō is co-owned by Steven Painter and Gerry Schumacher, who bring decades of combined construction industry experience and share an uncompromising commitment to quality.
