Builder:<br />
Genius Homes<br />
Land size:<br />
8085sqm<br />
Home size:<br />
150sqm<br />
Consent/build time:<br />
From contract signing to move in just under one year.<br />
Favourite feature:<br />
Everything, from the master bedroom/walk<br />
in wardrobe/en suite to the open-plan living/<br />
dining/kitchen and extensive decking.<br />
Hardest decision:<br />
The process was simple and decisions<br />
easy. Being able to visit several completed<br />
‘Benmores’ helped confirm the decision.<br />
Above: The red<br />
splash-back and<br />
appliances carry<br />
the theme from<br />
the red front door.<br />
For the couple, the key aspects they wanted in<br />
the home were an open living space and plenty<br />
of indoor/outdoor flow. The Benmore provides<br />
that with two of the bedrooms having sliding<br />
doors to the deck area while from the front entry<br />
to the living/dining/kitchen pod there are several<br />
wide opening doors and sliders to allow for easy<br />
indoor/outdoor flow. They also opted for some<br />
special features, including the raking ceiling<br />
upgrade in the living area.<br />
“This has given the feeling of great height and<br />
space in that part of the house. We chose slideout<br />
pantry cupboards for greater storage, given<br />
this is a holiday house. This allows us to store a<br />
greater amount of food etc. for visits.<br />
“We also increased the size of the bathroom<br />
vanities. The bathrooms are a really good size<br />
and the larger vanities fit well in the space and<br />
give greater storage also.<br />
“We opted for a red front door, which makes<br />
the entry really stand out on the site. It’s created<br />
a nice feature against the backdrop of the black<br />
iron cladding. We have carried the red theme<br />
into the kitchen with the glass splashback and<br />
some red appliances for the bench.<br />
“We went with Genius because of the<br />
remoteness of the site and our desire for a<br />
smooth, seamless build and the reality was that<br />
all our expectations were exceeded. All the<br />
Genius team were great to work with, especially<br />
the assigned project manager, and we are thrilled<br />
with the final result.<br />
“Last long weekend we had a full house of<br />
guests, and a busy social time, and this proved<br />
the design and our selections/options were ‘spot<br />
on’. We could not be happier.”<br />

Everything is perfect, we wouldn’t change anything.<br />
