With a job of this stature, there are so many variables and so many decisions. We worked collaboratively on fine tuning the plans as we progressed. “It was the perfect marriage of materials and design and sub-trades. We won the craftmanship award regionally but that’s not just for our carpentry – it also recognises the excellence of the tilers, joiners, painters, gib stoppers, electricians, plumbers and all the other tradespeople and suppliers who did their part to get it right. “We have extensive working relationships with all of them and know their work and their complete commitment to detail and quality.” Among the many outstanding features are a row of pivoting doors connecting indoor and outdoor living. “That’s a first – it has never been done before – and makes quite a unique statement.” In this award-winning smart home, everything from lighting and heating to security cameras and pool controls can be operated from a tablet or phone or remotely, with a user-friendly interface. There’s even a flushing gutter system installed to stop leaves from causing any issues in future. The home’s award-winning kitchen combines brass and American Oak, with 1.5km of individual oak pieces machined and joined together to form the cupboard fronts. This home picked up a regional bathroom excellence award too and, with gold leaf glinting in the opulent ensuite off the main bedroom, it’s easy to see why. In spite of the pandemic and associated supply disruptions, Mark says the home was still completed in under two-and-a-half years. “For a build of that size and spec quality, we were really happy with that.” Winning the national supreme award last year was a milestone celebrated in style by the MBL team. “We took 22 up to Auckland for the awards night, all our key staff and their partners. It was a fantastic night.” Since then, MBL has experienced growing demand for its services in Canterbury’s highend luxury home market. It further builds momentum on MBL’s already well-established track record for excellence.
