capabilities, the company can
provide drawings and plans
as part of a very cost-effective
solution for clients.
Schumacher says Landmark
Homes TRW provides a steady
supply of homes for regular
clients, but focuses on design
and build homes in the middle
to upper sector of the
housing market.
“We specialise in clients
who often have very specific
needs. We take into account
the home’s orientation for
views, as well as sloping sites
and other considerations such
as wind and weather. You
have to build the house to
fit the site.”
He adds: “Our award-winning
home in Taupo is a great
example of what we do best.”
The four-bedroom, threebathroom
residence at
Wharewaka Point is a family
home that opens beautifully
to the outdoors, making the
most of its stunning lakesidefacing
location.
The 303sqm layout forms
two core wings, with outdoor
living options to both the east
and west of the open-plan
space. Pillarless corner sliders
make indoor-outdoor entertaining
a breeze.
Schumacher notes that
most housing in Taupo faces
the lake and the mountains
to take best advantage of
the views, but that also can
expose the homes to the colder
southerlies.
“Incorporating two outdoor
living areas so you have the
option to switch your entertaining
from one side of the home
to the other depending on the
weather is a common factor
discussed with clients during
the design phase,” he says.
