Residential Build category winner, Landscapes of Distinction Awards 2025. Martinborough, Wairarapa. By Sole Landscapes.
A holiday home among the vineyards, where every new feature had to be low maintenance and complement the natural surroundings. Sole Landscapes designed and built multi-functional outdoor spaces around the existing buildings and a new pool house.
A custom putting green with a macrocarpa-edged bunker echoes the nearby vineyards; a large in-ground pool and wading pool are finished in porcelain tile and bordered by low-maintenance artificial turf; a spacious kwila deck links the pool to the house and games room; and glass fencing keeps the vineyard views open. Much of the build was completed by the whole team on site over a focused five-day period.
