82 | BUILDING Orange Homes T T Richard Loader Offering diversity in design and build The majority of projects are bespoke and tailored to the individual client’s needs and lifestyle preferences, either by tweaking one of the seventy off-the shelf plans, or starting from a blank piece of paper. With two new show homes recently constructed side by side in Te Whariki’s show home village on Southfield Drive, Orange Homes has cleverly contrasted the diversity of their design and build offering. Beautifully laid out and making good use of space, Admiral is a 180sqm, three bedroom, two bathroom home with galley kitchen, walkin pantry and open-plan living, and delivers plenty of inspiration for anyone considering their first home. The other is Orange Homes’ Monarch. Similar to the Admiral in terms of orientation and layout, at 248sqm Monarch delivers larger and more generous spaces, and encompasses a fourth bedroom. “Monarch is very much next level,” says Orange Homes’ Managing Director Evan Christieson. “It has a contemporary mono-pitch design and features a skillion ceiling throughout the open plan kitchen, dining and living spaces. “Upon entering the home you are greeted with a stunning cedar wall that runs the full height of the four metre entry, and features a skylight at the top. The master has a fantastic walk-in-robe and ensuite. This style of home will appeal to those wanting a home with impact.” While the build price for the Admiral is $460,000 the Monarch is around $800,000. Contrasting the two homes side by side not only provides prospective buyers with an easy comparison, but also inspiration to tailor the design to suit their own needs, lifestyle, references or section. “Our whole process is built around providing the home owner with the exact home they want. “Our sales and design consultants operate within the show homes and they are the people who greet visitors. “They are very well equipped to identify the clients’ needs, and then offer solutions that meet those needs. “The majority of projects are bespoke and tailored to the individual client’s needs and lifestyle preferences, either by tweaking one of the seventy off-the shelf plans, or starting from a blank piece of paper, or in some cases the client bringing in their own plans. Building that relationship and rapport is so important, as first impressions do matter.” With forty-three years’ experience building homes for the good people of Canterbury, family owned and operated design and build company Orange Homes has literally built thousands of homes. Based in Christchurch, the family owned and operated company crafts homes from the edges of Hanmer Springs through to Ashburton and Methven, building a diverse range of residential properties from the more affordable first homes up to homes in the million-dollar bracket. “We’ve never operated just in one market, because when the market shifts, as it can do, you can get stuck. We prefer to provide a great range of homes, and our process doesn’t have to change a lot, depending on the house. “We have our own in-house team of three architectural designers, which also means we can work closely with our clients and move quickly on any design changes. The designers are also on hand to offer support to our construction teams as well.” Reflecting on those key values that have underpinned the success of Orange Homes over the last four decades, Evan has no doubt that consistency, excellence and flexibility have been central values all the way through. “Building our company on those values has enabled us to have incredible longevity and we’re now the longest serving building company in Canterbury. “We have an incredible team, that is the people here in our office, along with the fantastic sub-contractors that we partner with to TM Leading the way in custom joinery for over 25 years.
