94 | Clever design to the fore The two-storey show home is truly unique in design. BUILDING Landmark Homes Central-West Auckland T T Karen Phelps Landmark Homes Central-West Auckland has unveiled its latest show home, a striking example of how clever design can deliver a luxurious, fully functional residence on a small section. Warwick and Julie Aldridge, who founded Landmark Homes Central-West Auckland in 2013, are excited to showcase what the couple describes as a home that challenges expectations on a compact section. “This new home proves that just because you have a smaller site, you don’t need to skimp on what you build,” says Warwick. “You can still have a luxury home with all the bells and whistles, packed into a smart, practical design.” The two-storey show home, located at 9a Saint Michaels Avenue, Point Chevalier, is truly unique in design. Spread over two levels, it features a living area, kitchenette, bedroom and ensuite upstairs, and a full kitchen, living area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms downstairs, all within 178.7sqm. Julie says the home is ideal for families with teenagers wanting their own space, for homeand-office scenarios, extended family living, or even a flatmate situation. “The clever layout gives a sense of openness and space that feels far larger than the footprint. High ceilings, raking ceilings upstairs and large sliding doors that extend living areas outdoors, all contribute to a seamless indooroutdoor flow.” Landmark Homes Central-West Auckland prides itself on creating homes tailored to clients’ individual needs. Warwick, a builder for over 30 years, brings extensive experience to the franchise, from practical design solutions to overseeing on-site operations. Julie complements his skills with expert administration and client liaison. “We love that every one of the homes we build is different,” says Julie. “We meet some amazing people with very creative ideas, so it’s incredibly rewarding to make those dreams come true. Seeing their smiles when we hand over the keys is priceless.” Warwick and Julie assist clients with a wide range of services, including land evaluation, subdividing, demolishing and rebuilding, and house-and-land packages. They offer designand-build solutions, ready-to-build plans and feasibility assessments, ensuring clients have options for any budget or site. “For example, there can be many options for clients who happen to be sitting on land with their own home,” explains Warwick. “You could demolish and rebuild, or build on part of the land and sell the other, helping create financial flexibility. It all comes down to numbers and location, and that’s where our experience comes in.” In addition, Landmark Homes offers a variety of award-winning home plans, which clients can use as inspiration, or build exactly as designed. These plans provide a starting point for customisation, allowing clients to visualise their dream home and adapt it to their site and lifestyle. As part of a nationwide franchise with 45 years of operation, Landmark Homes provides clients with the reassurance of extensive support. “We offer nationwide backup, not just from head office, but from other franchises as well. That’s a lot of confidence for our clients,” says Warwick. He says the Point Chevalier show home exemplifies Landmark’s ability to balance architectural creativity with practical living. “It’s about working with our clients to design a home that meets their budget and ticks every item on their wish list,” he says. “We can tackle any design in our distinctive quality-driven Landmark style. Nothing makes us happier than bringing our clients’ dream homes to life.” Quix Auckland Ltd are available Auckland wide, from the Bombay Hills in the south through to the Mangawhai region in the north.
