Hilltop

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.
