Hardcourt House
Nestled in the heart of Paraparaumu, Hardcourt House is a striking new two-level residence that seamlessly blends contemporary design with functional family living.
This five-bedroom home is thoughtfully arranged to maximise natural light, privacy, and connection to its lush outdoor environment. The open-plan kitchen and living area serve as the vibrant hub of the house, flowing effortlessly onto a covered outdoor living space and a sparkling pool—perfect for entertaining or relaxing with family.
At street level, a double garage provides convenient access, while a separate living area offers versatility for guests or multi-generational living. The robust structural palette features a concrete slab on grade for the ground floor and timber joists above, with portal frames to the living area ensuring expansive, light-filled spaces. Externally, the house is wrapped in a sophisticated mix of Abodo Vulcan timber, vertical Flashclad Euroline panels, and solid plaster, all capped by a sleek standing seam metal roof.

Thermally broken, double-glazed aluminium joinery ensures comfort year-round, while the interiors are finished with a refined selection of materials: timber overlays in living spaces, plush carpet in bedrooms, and full-height bathroom tiling. The home’s sustainability credentials are enhanced by central ducted heating, high-performance insulation, and a home automation system.
Outdoor spaces are equally considered, with composite pool decking, permeable paving, and a glass pool fence creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. The existing pool is complemented by a wood burner in the outdoor living zone, ensuring year-round enjoyment. The Golf Road House stands as a testament to modern family living—where architectural integrity meets everyday comfort and style.
