JOHN S MACDONALD BUILDERS LTD WAIKATO BUSINESS NEWS December 2016/January 2017 27 John S MacDonald’s renovation New Zealand’s best A renovation in Hamilton by John S Macdonald Builders Ltd has joined a new build in Auckland as being recognised as New Zealand’s best homes, winning Supreme Awards at the prestigious 26th Registered Master Builders 2016 House of the Year Awards. The Supreme Awards were announced at a gala dinner attended by more than 500 guests from the building and construction industry held at the Langham Hotel in Auckland. John S Macdonald Builders Limited was awarded the Registered Master Builders 2016 Supreme Renovation of the Year for their Tamahere renovation, along with the National cat- Before. egory win for the Renovation Award over $500,000. Judges said the Supreme Renovation was simply stunning and a credit to both the owner and the builder. “With no loss to the historical character, this magnificent family residence is a combination of renovation and restoration. The home has been reconfigured and services have been upgraded to incorporate 21st Century After. technology,” they said. “The rooms are full of light and space, and include subtle ornamentation and detail which blends in with the opulence of the furniture and fittings. “There is an ease of access to the outdoors where you will find shaded deck areas and a new pool house. The pool and shaded deck areas are controlled from the kitchen. The residence is surrounded by a paradise of recreational activities.” It is the first time a Waikato entrant has won both a category and supreme award, something John Macdonald says feels “pretty special”. “It’s recognition of an incredibly difficult couple of years where we had high expectations to fulfil. We performed to the best of our ability and got recognised for it.” The achievement was all the sweeter for the fact that the renovation award was an extremely competitive category with more entrants than any other. John says a key to their success was demonstrating the transformation of the villa from its original state through to its renovation. “I think the judges were able to see the journey from start to finish.” Making the house a warm place to live was extremely important to the client and the project transformed a dark, cold villa into a light, welcoming and warm environment. “The owners had bought the house but never lived in it. They were moving down to Waikato from Auckalnd Before. After. and it was important to them that they had a warm comfortable house to live in with plenty of space. “The house was pretty dark and cold. The feel inside is different now. It is really light, it is well insulated and has air conditioning. When you walk into it now you just know this place is warm and inviting.” Light flows in through ample glazing and in an open plan area and extensive glass doors peel back to a wraparound deck. The kitchen designed by Mal Corboy is both family friendly and suitable for fine dining. Original details of the villa have been lovingly retained and restored, from the floors to the feature ceilings. The classic weatherboard exterior has been refurbished and kitted out in a fresh coat of colour. The renovation also created great flow both internally and from the kitchen to the exterior and beyond into the section which incorporates a swimming pool, tennis court, cricket pitch and pitch and putt.
