T T from page 66 John Gavin Construction BUILDING With strong angular architectural elements and floor-to-ceiling views of Coronet Peak and the Remarkables, this luxury three-bedroom house is beautifully in synch with its environment. The contemporary layout includes an entertainer’s kitchen with scullery and wine cellar, a well-appointed north-facing outdoor living room and barbecue area, five-car garage and ensuites for each bedroom. John is particularly proud of all the exterior features and cedar cladding as well as the 2mm blue steel cladding used in the media room and entrance that demonstrates the high level of attention to detail achieved. The homeowners selected architect Tim Dagg, of leading Christchurch practice Sheppard & Rout Architects, to design their home. “As soon as I saw the drawings, it ticked all the boxes for a house my company would like to build. The shapes and forms are pretty stunning as is the site, location, and quality of materials.” With high schist walls and large expanses of glass, the home required careful engineering and was very technically challenging. • Natural Stone & Porcelain installation • Waterproofing • Underfloor Heating 021 139 3983 tjtilingnz@gmail.com T.J.

As a fourth-generation local, he has built a network of local suppliers and subcontractors who he knows he can also rely on to deliver the same high standard of excellence from one project to the next. “For example, the metal standing seam roofing and cladding for this home was done for us by Hamish Bassick of Roofing Hub [Wanaka]. “There is not one popped rivet on the whole roof. He is an outstanding tradesman, who took real ownership of his part of the project.” John Gavin Construction is now working on another large new home on an outstanding site with uninterrupted lake and mountain views. “We are just getting out of the ground, but we hope to be popping up with this one at the awards’ two years from now.”
