Contemporary hillside home in Kaiteriteri featuring breathtaking views, innovative construction logistics, and luxurious living spaces with extensive glass elements.

This stunning home is situated in beautiful Kaiteriteri enjoying a prominent position on the hillside directly above the Kaiteriteri boat ramp. Contemporary in design with extensive use of glass, this home completely captivates the breath taking view.

The existing home was firstly demolished down to the first floor level before works could begin on the new home. The logistics of the site meant there was no road access to the building site, so transportation of materials were carried in by helicopter and cranes.

A road was dug in from the top to gain access to the site for diggers and specialist rock drilling machines which were used to secure the foundation to the side of the hill.

The homes extensive views were maximized with 5.4 metre long top hung sliding glass doors which open out onto decks from the main living areas.

The interior of the home comprises three bedrooms, each with their own beautifully appointed ensuites. The kitchen, main living areas and master suite are on the first floor along with a private T.V. room with pull down projector screen. The floating timber stairwell takes you up to the two guest bedrooms and a sitting room with floor to ceiling windows that encompass the bay and beyond.

Professional Reviews

1 / 5

“We wanted a builder who would be predominately ‘on site’ and would take charge of the construction process, use initiative, but work closely with us, despite our home base being Dunedin. Finishing the complete job inside and out with outdoor shower area, terraces, lawns and garden areas was also important to us. Jason’s work site was always well organised, with health and safety paramount. It was obvious that the team had a knowledgeable, well-respected leader who supervised closely to ensure a meticulous standard was achieved. Workflow continued with little interruption with his excellent forward planning and by using sub-contractors in whom he had confidence. Jason Frater has become more than a superb builder who takes true pride in his work – he has become a good friend. Even though the house is finished, we are still able to enlist Jason’s services for the small projects that arise. We love our Little Kaiteriteri home and all our visitors can’t help but notice the attention to detail that is indicative of an excellent builder.”
