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 />
