Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections<br />
in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District<br />
Building product options on display<br />
For a totally different approach to<br />
gathering building ideas and learning of<br />
product options for a new home, Jennian<br />
Homes’ Studio J Design Centre is worth a<br />
visit.<br />
The studio allows visitors to experience,<br />
see, touch and view modern building<br />
products in a sequential way from time of<br />
entering where one sees a sample of RibRaft<br />
flooring; exterior cladding choices such as<br />
weatherboard, bricks, plaster options, schist<br />
pillars; garage doors; and paving.<br />
As you walk further into the Design<br />
Centre there are multiple choices for<br />
the internal fit-out. A stunning kitchen<br />
cleverly illustrates set-ups and features from<br />
cupboard fronts, drawers, handles and<br />
finishes through to a bench top selection<br />
and appliances.<br />
Studio J also showcases floor covering<br />
choices like tiles and vinyl planking along<br />
with eighty types of carpet from Jennian<br />
Homes’ suppliers Cavalier Bremworth,<br />
Irvine Flooring and Norman Ellison<br />
Carpets.<br />
On display in the bathroom area are<br />
various tapware, showers, vanities, heaters,<br />
towel rails and other fittings from a number<br />
of well-known New Zealand suppliers.<br />
Jennian Homes’ Studio J Design Centre<br />
really is a one-stop shop, which simplifies<br />
the decision making process associated with<br />
planning a new build.<br />
“With around 400 decisions to be<br />
made when building a new home it can<br />
be overwhelming. We wanted to make it<br />
easier for clients to choose so we decided<br />
to put together a design centre that allowed<br />
multiple choices to be made in the one<br />
visit,” says Dwayne Prendergast.<br />
“We’ve had really positive response from<br />
visitors to the studio. Most find it really<br />
engaging and have expressed delight at how<br />
easy the centre has made the process of<br />
selecting the various components for their<br />
new homes.”<br />
Dwayne purchased the Canterbury<br />
Jennian Homes’ franchise in June 2016 and<br />
was joined by co-owner Paul Jenkins earlier<br />
this year. They have a hands-on approach to<br />
their business with Dwayne working closely<br />
with the sales team and meeting clients<br />
early on while Paul manages the building<br />
projects, interacting with clients on site.<br />
This personal ownership ensures there is<br />
always someone to talk to throughout the<br />
design and building process.<br />
Jennian Homes is a name that has been<br />
well recognised in Canterbury for over 20<br />
years. Their motto is: honesty and quality<br />
for each and every home.<br />
Their new Studio J Design Centre adds<br />
to an already flexible approach to building<br />
where almost all their plans are bespoke<br />
and specifically developed by working with<br />
a client, adopting a more flexible approach<br />
that allows clients more input into their<br />
build.<br />
