David Reid Homes Expands Its Show Home Network Across New Zealand

  • If you are considering a new home, visiting a completed one is often the easiest way to begin.

    Walking through a show home lets you see the quality and craftsmanship up close, explore materials and finishes, and imagine how an architecturally designed David Reid home could be shaped around the way you want to live.

    With the new Nelson and Tasman show home now open in Richmond, David Reid Homes is growing its national network, with six more showhome locations planned to open this year for Auckland, Southland, Christchurch, Hawke’s Bay, Waikanae Beach and Taupo.


    Why visit a David Reid Homes show home?

    Visiting a David Reid Homes show home gives you a practical sense of how design choices, materials and craftsmanship come together in a finished home.

    When you visit a David Reid Homes show home, you can:

    • Experience the scale, flow and atmosphere of a completed home.

    • See materials, fixtures and finishes in person.

    • Gather ideas for your own design.

    • Explore how indoor and outdoor spaces can work together.

    • Consider how different design choices could suit your section and lifestyle.

    • Ask questions about building and the design process.

    • Meet your local David Reid Homes team.

    Your local team can help you think through your ideas, whether you are still looking for the right piece of land, already own a section, or simply have questions about what is possible.

    A visit can turn early ideas into a clearer vision for a home shaped around your needs.


    Show homes open now

    David Reid Homes currently has eight show homes open across six New Zealand locations:

    At each location, the team can walk you through the home, answer your questions and discuss how the ideas you see could be adapted for your own site, lifestyle and priorities.

    The latest addition, A Hallmark of Distinction in Richmond, brings mid-century modern influences together with contemporary materials, high raking ceilings, layered textures and a generous open-plan living area.

    The design shows how strong architectural thinking and careful detailing can create a home that feels distinctive while still working beautifully for everyday life.

    Explore ideas for a home designed around you

    Every David Reid Home begins with the people who will live in it.

    The details you notice in a show home can become the starting point for your own design conversation. You might be drawn to a material palette, the connection between kitchen and living spaces, the way natural light moves through the home, or how the design responds to its surroundings.

    From there, your local David Reid Homes team can help you explore your section, lifestyle and priorities, then guide decisions as your home takes shape.

    The result is not about reproducing a show home. It is about taking inspiration from what you see and creating a home that is genuinely suited to you.

    Start your design and build journey

    With Nelson now open and six more showhome locations planned for Auckland, Southland, Christchurch, Hawke’s Bay, Waikanae Beach and Taupo, more New Zealanders will be able to experience a David Reid Homes design nearby.

    Whether you are looking for land, already own a section or simply have questions about building, our show homes are the best place to start your design and build journey.

    At a show home, you can see the quality, craftsmanship and custom design of an architecturally designed David Reid home up close, gather ideas and talk through your options with the team.

    Your team will provide friendly, hands-on support from the first conversation through to creating a home shaped around your lifestyle, section and needs.
