This Bethlehem home won several awards at the 2023 Bay of Plenty and Central Plateau Registered Master Builders House of the Year competition.

A Bethlehem home has taken out the Supreme House of the Year Over $1 Million award at the 2023 Bay of Plenty and Central Plateau Registered Master Builders House of the Year competition.

The entry by Belco Homes also won the Resene New Home $2m to $4m category, Pink Batts Craftsmanship Award, Kitchen Excellence Award and a Gold Award, a Master Builders statement said.

Judges said they were “captivated by the remarkable use of locally-sourced Hinuera stone, which was skilfully paired with ironbark hardwood lintels and expressive structural timbers - resulting in a visually-stunning architectural marvel.”

It capped off a successful night for Belco Homes, after winning the region’s Supreme House of the Year Under $1m award for a home in Ōmokoroa and Supreme Renovation of the Year for a home at Waihī Beach.

This entry was also awarded the Renovation Over $1.5m category, and a Gold Award.
