The home in Erica Cres will represent the South in a category for new homes valued between $450,000 to $750,000 in the volume/group housing sector.
Fowler Homes Otago co-owner Nicky Fowler said her Dunedin-based company finished building the four-bedroom home about two years ago.
The home continued to look "damn good", which helped secure it a place in the finals, she said.
"It was great to take out the [regional] win."
Mel Fowler declined to reveal the build cost as it was the home owners’ private information but the final price tag was not near the category’s price limit, making the win more of an achievement.
"It’s done really well."
"There is loads of natural light in the home."
The judges’ comments on the home included its "striking" black and white exterior cladding and its schist stone chimney.
"The pitched ceiling to the open plan living spaces gives the home a strong personality and effectively enhances its sense of space," a judge said.
Mrs Fowler thanked the "tradies" who were subcontracted and allowed the company to realise a vision and present it to a client.
The recognition of winning the regional category was more important than if the company won, Mr Fowler said.

In the regional competition, Dunedin building company Third Little Pig Homes won the category for new homes between $1.5 million and $2 million and the Outdoor Living Excellence Award.
