Judges described the Waiheke home as a work of art.
"With outstanding craftsmanship and exceptional finishing, this cliff top home - built on a very difficult and narrow site - is a place to relax and enjoy," they said.
"The seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living morph together, presented with a variety of materials and colour.

"This provides a superb backdrop to the finishing touches by a very discerning owner."
The home features a central outdoor living area, covered courtyard with an open fire, outdoor dining and lounge areas, BBQ, and swimming pool, that separates the guest pavilion from the main living pavilion.
"The views from these areas are to die for," judges said.

The team was awarded the Auckland Registered Master Builders 2017 Supreme Renovation of the Year, a Gold Award and Category win for the Renovation Award over $1 million.
They also won the Craftmanship Award and the Sustainable Home Award.
Judges said the traditional cottage was located close to the street with no hint as to the renovation at the rear.
"Both old and knew blend in an interesting way making the home full of surprises," the judges said.
"Exquisite detailing both inside and out, a mix of quality materials, along with exposing some of the structure internally, clearly shows everything has been thought through and executed perfectly.

"A new master suite, a large kitchen, living, and dining area make this a very comfortable home."
The results of the regional competition were revealed at a gala dinner last night.
The Gold Award winners from the Auckland region will now be judged against Gold Award winners from around the country to find the National Gold Reserve finalists.
National category winners and the Registered Master Builders Supreme Awards for House of the Year and Renovation of the Year will be announced at a gala dinner on 25 November at SKYCITY in Auckland.
