The Moturoa: A three bedroom Design & Build Collection home by Signature Homes

The owners of this two-level home in New Plymouth spent eight years living in 17 different rental properties around NZ after the Christchurch earthquakes before finally settling in the coastal Taranaki town.

Having lived in so many different homes, they had a good idea of what they wanted. Spacious living flowing out onto a well-positioned deck to capture sea views, as well as a garage with dedicated storage space were both must-haves.

The ground floor features two generous double bedrooms plus a large family bathroom opening onto a small courtyard. Upstairs, the master bedrooms takes pride of place, connected to the living areas via extensive decking.
