2025 Jennian Homes Manawatu - Regional Category Winner & Regional Gold

01 August 2025

Framed for Lifestyle

This smart, site-specific build proves that great design doesn’t demand a high price tag. Set against the backdrop of a reserve, the 149sqm home makes the most of its natural outlook, with north-facing living areas and generous glazing that floods the interior with light. At the front, crisp vertical cladding and clean lines shape a modern, low-profile form that feels both calm and confident, while a recessed entry draws you inward. Inside, the kitchen, living and dining zones are open, inviting and functional, extending effortlessly to a sheltered patio for outdoor entertaining or relaxing with family and friends.

A showstopping picture window in the dining space offers a framed view to Koa Reserve, bringing in both light and tranquillity. The interior palette is clean and modern – timber-look flooring, soft whites, and dark-toned cabinetry bring warmth and cohesion throughout. Both bathrooms are stylish and practical, with floating vanities, black fittings, sleek tiling and thoughtful detailing that enhances everyday comfort. With three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage, the layout is ideal for a growing household or visiting guests. Every element — from solar orientation to understated finishes — contributes to a home that’s elegant, efficient and designed to stand the test of time
