The four-bedroom, 245sqm home, on Cunningham Dr, will be Fowler Homes’ local showhome for at least the next two years.
A striking feature is the exterior, which is clad in bandsawn cedar with a charred and brushed finish "so we don’t have to touch it again", Queenstown franchise owner Jason McGirr says.
The exterior is also notable for a corten steel feature entranceway and a schist-clad chimney inside and outside surrounding a gas fireplace.
McGirr says he’s proudest of "the level of detail and spec the team got in, from the engineered foundations to the finishings in the rooms, the interior design work — we’ve really not held back on any specification".
The idea, he adds, is to show prospective clients the level of craftsmanship they can expect whatever type of home they want.
Local architect David Stringer designed the home, with McGirr’s own interior-design team also involved.
McGirr points to the showhome’s several different ceiling heights, from 2.7m in the two-car garage to almost 5m in the kitchen-dining area.
In addition, there are about 11 Velux skylights in the main areas.
Among several smart-home features are underfloor heating and lighting that can be dialled in for each room.
McGirr has entered the home in the showhome category of Registered Master Builders’ annual house of the year awards.
