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 />

Favourite feature:<br />
