Classic in Te Awamutu


Located 30kms south of Hamilton, Te Awamutu is often referred to as ‘The Rose Town of New Zealand’ because of its elaborate rose gardens in the centre of town.

Te Awamutu is also home to a brand-new house built by Daniel Kraayvanger and the team at DK Designer Homes. The finished home has a timeless, classic look, with shingle roof, plastered walls, deep window reveals, and copper lighting and spouting. 

Clever exterior layout and design, using a covered outdoor entertaining area within view of the inviting pool, gives the owners the ultimate flexibility to make the most of their easy-care outdoor areas all year-round.

The owners knew the type of pool and shape they wanted, and with the help of building consent drawings from a structural engineer, their dreams became a reality.

The finishing touch of glass balustrades avoided visually cutting off the pool from the house, adding to the expansive resort feel.

Stylish copper feature lighting adorns the exterior, with bronze water features and large pots making a design statement against the paler exterior cladding.

Marley Typhoon® spouting and RP80® downpipes in Copper, part of Marley’s Stratus Design Series® range, continue the on-trend copper features of the home.

“The client liked the ‘copper look’ without the maintenance or cost of real copper”.
