Builder:<br />

Trident Homes<br />

Land size:<br />

549sqm<br />

Home size:<br />

172sqm<br />

Above: The main<br />

bathroom features<br />

a fully tiled shower<br />

and a bath.<br />

Top right: Leading<br />

from the hallway,<br />

the kitchenette<br />

adjoining one of<br />

the bedrooms<br />

provides for<br />

guests, family and<br />

potential Air B&B<br />

accommodation.<br />

Right: An eyecatching<br />

feature of<br />

the kitchen is the<br />

brick splash-back.<br />

For the carpet, she chose one from the Belgotex<br />

Empire range, in ash, while the vinyl in the<br />

kitchen and bathrooms is a plank design in the<br />

colour Supremo Sutherland.<br />

The home’s exterior cladding is Clad’X plaster<br />

system, as recommended by Trident Homes,<br />

with a feature gable.<br />

With fresh, ventilated air being a nonnegotiable<br />

for Julie, she had a Moisture Master<br />

ventilation system installed, and this is just one<br />

of several special features she particularly enjoys<br />

in her new home.<br />

“I love the vaulted ceiling in the living area –<br />

it gives the illusion of more space, it definitely<br />

lets in more light, and it’s a point of interest in<br />

the room. I’m also thrilled with the barn door<br />

between the living area and the hall and the<br />

brick splash-back in the kitchen.<br />

“The storage is amazing,” Julie adds, “and that<br />

was important for me.”<br />

It includes a large cupboard in the living area<br />

and the garage, and storage space in the roof.<br />

Two sets of stacker doors open out from the<br />

living area to concrete patios, providing indooroutdoor<br />

flow, while an outside hot tap is handy<br />

for cleaning up after gardening. Julie has already<br />

established a vegetable and herb garden, the<br />

well-tended lawn looks lush, and she is planning<br />

to plant fruit trees, flowers and shrubs.<br />

In talking about her new home, Julie constantly<br />

refers to the “relational” aspect of her experience<br />

with the Trident Homes team, which made her<br />

feel valued.<br />

“Greg Lyons, the project manager, was<br />

just brilliant – I formed a good relationship<br />

with him, and there was a great team of subcontractors.<br />

Through Greg, I was able to have<br />

site access whenever I wanted to go and see how<br />

they were progressing. And Pete Nisbet was<br />

available if, and when, I had any questions. He<br />

said I could contact him any time I wanted to<br />

know anything. That’s something I don’t think<br />

you would get with a larger company.”<br />

Relaxing in her light, airy living space, Julie<br />

enjoys the outlook of trees and sky beyond<br />

her boundary.<br />

“I love feeling close to<br />

nature. I have that here.<br />

This house gives me<br />

everything I was looking<br />

for and I am very<br />

happy with how it all<br />

came together.”<br />

Designed for living. Built for life.<br />

Consent/build time:<br />

Six months<br />

Favourite feature:<br />

The way the house works – the<br />

indoor/outdoor flow<br />

Hardest decision:<br />

Choosing SDN carpet over wool<br />

or hard floor. Making sure the right<br />

decision was made with the space, i.e.,<br />

that there was enough space<br />
