GIB Show Home | Regional Silver
This is what happens when light, bright and contemporary are sprinkled with personality. The 179sqm show home exhibits classic and timeless style alongside just the right measure of character. As welcomes go, the house extends a warm one, thanks to the striking covered entrance with a gabled roof and rich-hued vertical timber. Venture inside and you’ll come to a light-filled communal zone with kitchen, dining and living spaces. When sliders are open, this area extends onto a suntrap patio. There’s plenty of room to entertain, relax, enjoy family time and prep food — the sleek kitchen also has a walk-in pantry. With all of this, plus four thoughtfully designed bedrooms, two bathrooms and an internal-access double garage that opens to a separate laundry, the home offers versatility and plenty of storage.

All-day sun, warmth, comfort and energy efficiency. That’s some of the modern-day must-haves checked off, but with this 185sqm north-facing Ashburton house, the list of pluses is much longer. Street appeal is strong: a striking gable end, fuss-free yet attractive landscaping, dark long-run coloured steel roofing and wall cladding of plaster and horizontal weatherboards add up to one inviting property. Interior features also catch the eye. This striking space fans out to an open dining-sitting area and also a living room. These are bathed in sunlight and open to patios. The clever design ensures connectivity in the communal spaces, but also privacy in the three bedrooms. You’ll find another plus in this sleeping quarters part of the home – the main bedroom has a dressing room and ensuite. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and separate toilet. A double garage with a laundry, ample storage and modern finishes guarantee this home perfectly balances style with practicality.

On the green fringes of Ashburton you’ll find a home that’s a perfect blend of contemporary design, convenience and extras tailored to the owners’ needs. One such client amenity is a carpeted triple garage that has oodles of storage for toys, vehicles, projects and more. Expansive glazing, including sliding doors, allows green views to flood into the open-plan dining and living spaces. Step outdoors and onto a covered area that takes up an entire corner of the floorplan. The living is easy when it spills from the family and dining spaces out to the decking. The main-bedroom suite has a couple of notable additions: a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish ensuite. The home also has two more well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, powder room and that must-have for working from home — an office. The harmonious design and sleek finishes extend to the exterior of the house, which is clad in dapper white plaster trimmed with timber-look panels. This is modern living at its finest.

With a 133sqm floorplan, this brick home isn’t the biggest on the block, but thoughtful design and deft craftsmanship make it seem much roomier. In the two-bedroom property every square centimetre has been used efficiently – and attractively – proving compact doesn’t mean compromising on comfort, style or space. How was this achieved? With a well-planned layout and clever design elements such as built-in storage, a laundry tucked into the garage and an uncluttered aesthetic. With these ticked off, the living spaces are allowed to flow the length of the house and out to a patio. Crisp white walls amplify the sense of space throughout the home. The main bedroom, the larger of the two, enjoys generous wardrobe space and windows on two sides. From the curb, the house is also a beauty. And like the interior, this house looks much larger than its footprint. In fact, the compact house, built for efficiency, elegance and modern living, overachieves in every way.

GIB Show Home | Regional Silver
A show home is a window display for a builder’s skills and gives would-be buyers inspiration for what’s possible. This Milestone 07 home plan achieves both beautifully. The three-bedroom home also demonstrates optional upgrades, such as ducted heating, attic storage and a tiled ensuite. The 205sqm house delights from the get-go. Gables, white plaster and grooved timber cladding ensure instant street appeal. Open the front door and you are greeted with a spacious entry leading into the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. The alfresco area, off the dining and family spaces, is just the spot for relaxing or hosting summer gatherings. It’s an entertainer’s dream. This is a home designed for ease of living; it’s light, spacious and built for the sun.

Centered in the heart of Lower Hutt, the new build is well positioned within walking distance of all major amenities. Step into the ground floor and enjoy open-plan living and all-day sun. The kitchen, which is dressed in black, is connected to the living area – a proud place from which to entertain indoors, if the outdoor living area is affected by the weather. The two-storey design makes efficient use of space – you’ll find the laundry discreetly tucked away under the stairs and stacked sliders lead to the main outdoor area. Design ingenuity in this compact home carries on upstairs, where you’ll find two large bedrooms, plus a study that could accommodate an overnight guest. A well-appointed bathroom serves this area, while a guest bathroom serves the downstairs. A sharp contemporary look is achieved on the exterior, thanks to the contrasting use of cedar on black Stria.
