2 12 [Edition datE] Your guide to Show Homes & New Sections in the <strong>Selwyn</strong> District An exquisite family home Trident Homes’ show home in Faringdon is a truly beautiful home. 242 sqm of very well thought out design, this spacious house is well appointed and suitable for anyone looking for four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living areas. The layout just works. Some houses make you work your way through them; this Trident home flows from room to room. One can only imagine how easy it would be to live in. Trident Homes Canterbury is owned and operated by Jason McKenzie and Peter Nisbet. They have offices in Belfast and Hornby, and both of them have a solid history in building and selling beautiful homes in Canterbury. The home at 568 East Maddisons Rd is no exception, a wonderful example of the design and build quality Trident clients can expect. From the entrance way, adorned with Suvi wallpaper from the Wabi Sabi Collection, to the spacious living room, with its own feature wallpaper. This space is easily made private with internal sliders. Additional doors (all doors feature negative detailing) open into a large kitchen, separate dining area, and another spacious living area. The kitchen features a long island, good size walk-in pantry with ample shelving and storage space and a tiled splashback in a matte black, hexagon design against the white, soft close cabinetry and bench tops, all very modern and functional. All these areas offer access to a private deck outside via sliding doors – an entertainer’s dream. This home design offers four very generous size bedrooms. The master has a large walk-in wardrobe with lots of hanging, shelf, and drawer space. The en-suite features a large, fully tiled shower and the bedroom has access to the outside via sliding doors. The other three bedrooms all have large wardrobes with built-in shelves. It is obvious the designers of this house considered practical matters especially in the details. The footrest in and the ventilation above each of the showers; a nice deep bath in the family bathroom; plenty of storage space in the laundry; and a huge storage cupboard in the hallway. Slightly higher ceilings in the entrance and kitchen enhance the feeling of space, and more featured wallpaper – Carousel Stripe – in the master bedroom makes it feel even more like home. Trident Homes has a number of home designs and house and land packages available, to suit all budgets and requirements (www.tridenthomes.nz). The Faringdon show home is open Wednesday to Sunday, 12pm until 4pm and by appointment.

13 [Edition datE] 1 Making the most of show home viewing Looking through show homes is a great way to get ideas for features and fittings to put into a new home. It can also be helpful for getting a spatial feel for other aspects of a house design. Before heading out for a day’s viewing, conduct an internet search. identify the locations of show home villages and the types and sizes of the various building company’s homes on display, noting down the square metre size of each home. if wanting a high end, architectural design, focus on the larger homes that have desirable design features. if at the entry or middle level of the market, earmark homes that fit this taking in other show homes for extra ideas. allow sufficient time when visiting each show home, asking for a floor plan that has room sizes before walking through. Check also the floor to ceiling height of the rooms and consider how this feels and whether you prefer a cosier feel with the standard ceiling eight of 2.4 metres or more spaciousness created with a higher stud or exposed ceiling beams. if doors and windows are taller than normal, weigh their effect in creating a more luxurious and spacious feel, against potential inconvenience for small children, cleaning and maintenance. on entering each room, take account of how much furniture is in each room and whether there is sufficient space for the furniture you will have in the room and the size needed in a walk-in robe. Look too, at storage capacity throughout the home and whether this is adequate. in the living areas, consider whether a lounge separated from the family living room or a true open plan kitchen, dining, living/lounge area is preferable, and compare internal kitchens with those that have natural light. Look too at the layout of the kitchen: whether to have an island sink or breakfast bar where a newspaper can be read, and children can sit and draw or complete homework; the positioning of appliances; and how important having a pantry is. for the little rooms, equate space and features desired with that needed, especially if the budget needs to be sharp. it might be nice to have a large walk-in shower with double shower heads but is this just fanciful and will the extra cleaning annoy you long term. a laundry in the garage is also more economical though a separate laundry may be handier. Bring the garage size into the equation also. as these vary considerably, assess the actual measurements of each garage viewed comparing this with the space needed for your motor vehicles and other items to be stored there. if a good number of toys will be housed there, it may be sensible to increase the size of this area of the home. By imagining what you need, want and will have in your new home, you will be in a better position to confidently choose a design that works for you.
