Introducing Hilltop Road, the perfect lifestyle property from Smith Construction. Combining new and upcycled materials to create a refined rustic design, this durable family home offers an eloquent transition of indoor and outdoor spaces for the whole family to enjoy.

Hilltop Road is the perfect escape, enhanced by the exquisite rural scenery with the addition of a swimming pool, spa, large office/workshop, vegetable gardens, and plenty of space for kids to play for tranquil living all year round.

Warren Perry from Perry Architecture & Design was employed to help refine the concept and bring the design to life. The exterior of the house is clad in charred Japanese cedar from Sugi NZ, the charring process creates durability and depth to the cladding that was in keeping with the overall concept. Entering the home through handmade Totara front doors you get a glimpse of the expansive rural views leading you to the open plan living space. The kitchen has been designed and built by Mangawhai Design, recycled bricks salvaged the iconic Real Groovy Records building have been used with recycled Oak paneling and Neolith Porcelain bench tops, the custom made blued steel rangehood provides an industrial edge to the space. Internal walls have been lined with recycled Rimu roof sarking, 80+ years of weathering has created a very unique finish. Insitu concrete has been used for both the indoor and outdoor fireplaces, polished concrete floors with rimu and kauri inlays creates a connection between the differing materials. Outdoor spaces have been finished with Millboard decking and oceanic schist crazy paving.

At Smith Construction, we will provide you with a beautiful and functional home that will not only withstand the test of time but will also enhance the lifestyle of you and your family. Discover Hilltop Road now!

About the
Professional

Home builders of exceptional houses since 2004.


Smith Construction was started in 2004 as high-end architectural home builders in Auckland.


Leading the way in quality workmanship is owner Nick Smith, who has reached the required standards in construction and business management to meet the criteria for becoming a Certified Builder. This means all projects are fully covered under NZCB’s Halo 10 Year Residential Guarantee Insurance.

As a Licensed Building Professional with over 8 years of experience at the time, Nick wanted to deliver top quality homes to his clients.

“I wanted to be involved in transforming exceptional architectural home design into stunning homes, using innovative building techniques and sustainable modern materials and building systems.”

For Nick this meant working on projects from start to finish, from offering advice on choosing land packages and working closely with the architects on attaining the best home design to project management and delivering a quality build with a high standard of finish, right down to the landscaping.

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.
