90 | BUILDING G.J. Gardner Homes Manukau-East Auckland T T Karen Phelps Innovative development offers solutions T T to page 92 In a potential first for New Zealand’s housing sector, G.J. Gardner Homes Manukau-East Auckland has unveiled an innovative medium-density show home development. Challenging traditional approaches to higher-density housing, it also offers practical solutions for the country’s housing shortage. “We think it’s a first to show a medium-density show home development like this,” says Debbie Van Leeuwen, franchise owner of G.J. Gardner Manukau-East Auckland. “It’s about maximising the site with good design. “The show home development demonstrates how clever planning and thoughtful design can create multiple spacious, distinct homes on what might traditionally have accommodated just one dwelling. “With a high need for housing stock, we were looking at ways to achieve medium- density housing that is in keeping with the neighbourhood and could simply appear as one large home from the outside and which complements smaller sites.” The groundbreaking development, which opened to the public in June, demonstrates how thoughtful design can maximise a compact site while maintaining neighbourhood aesthetics. Situated on just over 500sqm, the development showcases three distinct homes that harmoniously blend into each other and their surroundings while offering various living solutions for different needs and budgets. Each home within the development has been carefully designed to cater to different market segments and living requirements. The entry-level option, called ‘Campbell Surprise’, offers a spacious 119sqm layout with three bedrooms and one bathroom, complemented by a storage lockup rather than a traditional garage.
