Arvida's Bethleham Shores has been praised at the recent New Zealand Architectural Design Awards for its unique golf shed.
Taking a big swing on an original and uniquely designed golf shed has paid off for Arvida’s Bethlehem Shores village, with the win of a Regional Award at the New Zealand Architectural Design Awards.
Winning the category of Architectural Spaces and Structures, the Arvida Bethlehem Shores golf shed provides transport accessibility for residents of the Bethlehem Shores community. Like the popular villas in the village, the structure’s colour palette includes earth tones and reflects the surrounding environment.
At 91m2, the shed is designed to store and charge six golf carts. Sustainability is a key aspect with solar panels attached to the structure, which enable the charging of golf carts using renewable energy.
“We’re thrilled that the design of our golf cart shed has been recognised with this award. What began as a practical idea has become a great design and amenity outcome for Bethlehem Shore, making life easier and more enjoyable for our residents. It’s a fantastic example of thoughtful design delivering real value. A huge thank you to our design team CTArchitecture, project managers, and construction team for their hard work in bringing this to life,” Arvida Head of Design Blair Cressy said.
Following the regional win, CTArchitecture will be attending a national conference in Dunedin to compete for the national title in October.
Set across 61 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds in the heart of Bethlehem, Tauranga, Arvida Bethlehem Shores offers a refined coastal lifestyle designed to help over-65s thrive. With architecturally designed Villas, modern Living Well Apartments, and fully integrated Care Suites.
