| 101 Stroud Homes Central Otago BUILDING T T Richard Loader Attention to detail evident everywhere The pavilion style home at Pisa Moorings pays homage to the surrounding mountain ranges. Stroud Homes Central Otago has brought home a gold award from the Registered Master Builders House of the Year 2023 for the first home built by Aaron Shaw who went on to become the company’s new owner. The pavilion style home at Pisa Moorings pays homage to the surrounding mountain ranges with a stunning clerestory window and cathedral ceilings looking out to an in-ground pool and across to the hills in the distance. Craftsmanship and special details are present in generous proportions, from the exterior entrance clad with cedar gables and a wall of Wānaka schist, to the lobby inside which echoes the exterior with more timber and stone. House of the year judges felt attention to detail was evident everywhere in this home, in the snug, the study, the garage, the attic, the feature walls, and even in the recess window between the pavilions which frames a tree. Aaron is particularly proud of this home as it was his first project on arriving at Stroud Homes Central Otago as an employee in 2022, and it was also the largest and most expensive home he has ever built, giving him a renewed confidence in his abilities as well as a valuable insight into Stroud Homes’ specifications. Aaron had joined Stroud Homes to further his construction career by gaining some project management experience. Within his first year, the previous owner asked him if he wanted to take over. Aaron thought about Stroud Homes’ reputation for high quality builds and the support he would have from the head office as a franchisee and was happy to take the next step. Aaron brings many years of construction experience to Stroud Homes Central Otago and as an active part of his local community of Alexandra he is well-versed in local trades, building conditions, and council regulations. Stroud Homes meanwhile is a group home builder with a difference, offer high spec builds, starting at the top of the range and work down until the perfect solution for client, site, and budget is found. “A lot of other companies will start with the cheapest price to draw you in, then add this and that and the cost rises and rises from there. “We start at the top and work our way down to fit into your budget.” All Stroud Homes are pre-priced with standard inclusions, with options for bonus 88 inclusions and premium upgrades, so customers know exactly what their new home will look like and how much it will cost.
