Taranaki's 2016 House of the Year award winners

Fabish also took out a Gold Award and category win in the over $500,000 Renovation Award for a home in Oakura.
Judges praised the skilled design of Collins' Strandon house, which was built on a particularly narrow site.
David Fabish Limited renovated home in Oakura, Taranaki, won this year's Supreme Award Taranaki Registered Master Builders Renovation of the Year.
"The home is designed with a clever interplay of space and light.

Judges called Fabish a "deserving winner" of the Renovation of the Year award.
David Fabish Limited also won a Gold Award and won Category Winner Renovation Award over $500,000.
"A complete transformation of this property into something special has been the result of the home owner, architect and builder working effectively together to achieve the best result."

The 10 Gold Award winners from Taranaki would now be judged against Gold Award winners from around New Zealand to find the National Gold Reserve finalists.
