Perched above Nelson’s glistening Tasman Bay, this award-winning residence is an architectural statement of elegance, precision, and purpose.

Completed in November 2024 by Daniel Smith Builders, the home represents the perfect harmony of natural materials, considered spatial design, and superior craftsmanship. Designed by Stufkens + Chambers Architects and complemented by the landscape expertise of Olivia Bird (OBDesign) and Chelsea Flower Show gold medallist James Wheatley (Landform Design), this is a property where every detail has been refined to perfection.

Recognised for design excellence, 110 Bay View Road has received two prestigious accolades — the 2025 New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) Award for Housing in the Nelson & Marlborough region, and the 2025 ADNZ Resene Regional Award for New Homes (150–300sqm). Joinery by The Custom Space, under the direction of award-winning designer Courtney Bailey, completes the bespoke level of finish throughout.

Inside, the home reveals a seamless interplay of light, form, and texture. Shifting volumes create a dynamic rhythm — expansive vaulted ceilings evoke grandeur, while lower ceilings and deeper hues offer intimacy and calm. The interiors are defined by a warm, luxe Scandinavian aesthetic and Japanese-inspired spatial flow: restrained, natural, and deeply functional.

The heart of the home is a sculptural kitchen and dining area, where precision meets elegance. Oak trims, Caesarstone surfaces, and a 6mm stainless steel island bench are illuminated by concealed LED lighting and a Normann Copenhagen Bell pendant. Integrated Fisher & Paykel appliances, a wine fridge, and a fully equipped scullery ensure the space is both visually refined and effortlessly practical. Electric blinds and New Zealand–made wall lighting complete the thoughtful details.

A dramatic birch-plywood ceiling soars above the living space, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling Otsumigaki plaster fireplace housing a 1400mm Escea gas fire. Custom joinery defines every surface, from the built-in window seat and full-height bookcase to the curated selection of Danish lighting that enhances the room’s sculptural simplicity.

Adjoining this is a serene media room, offering a built-in study nook, feature ceiling, and 100% linen drapery — a private retreat for quiet moments or film nights.

The private wing of the home is equally considered. Two generous double bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes with bespoke shelving and soft white shutters, while the family bathroom combines waterfall and wall showers, underfloor heating, and a Caesarstone-topped oak vanity.

The master suite is a sanctuary — a calming palette, oak headboard with integrated LED lighting, full linen drapery, and a beautifully appointed walk-in wardrobe. The ensuite impresses with its freestanding bath, twin showers, underfloor heating, heated mirrors, and luxurious lighting.

Every comfort has been anticipated. Climate control is delivered through ducted heat pumps and underfloor heating in all bathrooms, supported by two dedicated gas califonts for efficiency. The home’s passive warmth, due to its concrete base, ensures minimal need for cooling even through summer.

The exterior design mirrors the architectural strength of the interior — bold geometric forms, offset gables, and decorative lattice screens create visual rhythm and privacy. Outdoor living is an effortless extension of the home, featuring 19sqm of covered entertaining areas with a Jetmaster outdoor fireplace, tiled patio, and multiple decks for dining or lounging. Garden lighting, built-in planters, and a semi-tropical planting scheme frame the home in soft, natural tones of green, white, and pale peach.

Resene’s refined palette of Alabaster and Flax Pod complements the sculptural silhouette, while the warm truffle interior tones shift subtly with the light. Every finish has been carefully selected — from the Feltex wool carpets and Forte oak flooring to the legally sourced Punakaiki stepping stones that lead to the front entrance.

Positioned on the more sheltered side of Bay View Road, this property enjoys protection from wind and glare, offering privacy, tranquillity, and stunning light from sunrise to sunset. Designed with “lock up and leave” in mind, the home balances luxury with ease of living — timeless, sophisticated, and built to endure.

With Daniel Smith’s hallmark craftsmanship and a team of award-winning designers behind it, 110 Bay View Road stands as one of Nelson’s most distinguished modern homes.
