Showcasing New Zealand's best homes

As proud sponsors of the annual Master Builders Cook Strait House of the Year awards, we’re thrilled to help celebrate and showcase the best in home design and construction in Aotearoa.  

The awards recognise excellence in design, craftsmanship, and use of sustainable technologies across a range of categories – from compact homes to luxury builds. 

Award-winning homes and gas

We are excited to see homes recognised in the awards incorporate gas in innovative ways. From stunning gas fireplaces that provide both warmth and aesthetic appeal to state-of-the-art gas cooktops and efficient gas hot water systems, these homes demonstrate how gas can be a key component of modern living. 

Building with gas: tips for homeowners

With gas flowing well into the future, you’ll be able to enjoy a home energised by gas for years to come.  

If you’re planning to build or renovate, here are some helpful things to consider: 

Heating: Modern gas fireplaces and central heating systems offer efficient and stylish ways to heat your home. 

Hot water: New continuous gas hot water systems pre-heat water using existing heat, offering up to 92% efficiency. 

Cooking: Gas cooktops provide precise temperature control and a variety of burner sizes to suit all your cooking needs.
