This exciting new Taupo showhome is Design Builders’ modern take on classic New Zealand country house style. The expertly designed floor plan makes the most of spectacular views across the lake and beyond to Mt Tauhara.

Carefully positioned to maximise sun, the covered outdoor areas, on the east and north, extend the living space into the outdoors. There’s a separate guest or children’s wing, away from the Master suite. Bathrooms are designed for easy use with ensuite access for guests. Among the other superb features are raking ceilings, a high-pitch roof line, and two built-in wood burners. Weatherboard cladding and stone enhance the luxury lakeside lodge feel.

This wonderful house is elevated from the main road as you approach, and the entry flows through to the open plan living area and beyond to the covered outdoor area.

Open: Fridays to Sundays 11am-3pm or by appointment, 16 Mapara Road, Acacia Bay, Taupo

About the
Professional

Design Builders create superb one-off homes for our clients, we’ve been doing this for 30 years and along the way we’ve won well over 100 Registered Master Builders House of The Year Awards, including Regional Gold Awards, Best in Category and many more.

Our company’s foundations were laid by our founder, Andy Bell, back in 1992 when we built a new home for our very first client.

We’ve come a long way since then, we’ve grown in size and reputation, yet like anything that’s built to last, we’ve stuck to our original vision and values. We offer New Zealanders something unique – instead of catalogues, templates or pre-existing designs we design and build superb unique homes that express the owner’s personality; a home inspired by the people who will live in it and love it. We call it ‘A home built around you’​.

No existing plans, templates, or catalogues. We work with you to create a unique home designed & built just for you, inspired by you.

You might think that a home designed and built the way you want is out of reach. With Design Builders, you can afford to think differently. Our process is built around you, including your budget. Let’s talk.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
