BUILDING Award for extensive renovation T T Anne Boswell Tauranga-based Keam Construction has once again demonstrated its prowess in the building industry by winning a prestigious Gold Award at the Bay of Plenty House of the Year Awards. The award was given in recognition of an exceptional renovation project at Lake Rotoiti, which stands as a testament to the company’s dedication to quality, craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail. The winning project was an extensive renovation of a large family holiday home, designed to accommodate over 40 people. This remarkable transformation includes 10 bedrooms, 10 private bathrooms, and 450 square metres of decking, all nestled within an expansive 1,184 square metre lodge-style retreat. The renovation is not only impressive in scale but also in its intricate design, featuring a cantilevered round deck that provides stunning views of Lake Rotoiti. Inside, the home is a harmonious blend of luxury and rustic charm; its natural timber finishes, including macrocarpa and dark oak beams and columns, are complemented by cedar and copper accents. The project also features custom-made bunk beds, a cinema, a wine cellar, a barn with climbing walls, a playground and a tennis court, making it a perfect retreat for large gatherings. The renovation was carefully executed over three years in two stages, ensuring that every detail met the high standards of both the homeowners and Keam Construction.
