Drawing inspiration from the landscape Jennian Homes’ design philosophy focuses around simple forms, natural materials, and a strong connection to the outdoors. T T Alexia Anderson Jennian Homes is helping shape Shannon Farm, contributing to the development that provides long-term value for both homeowners and the wider community. Situated on the rolling hills above Cromwell, Shannon Farm makes the most of the area’s surrounding landscape, while also embracing quality, connection and growth. Jennian Homes client manager Cara Woods says the company is proud to be involved in the ongoing development, which has a strong focus around quality, community, and connection to the landscape. “The opportunity to contribute to a thoughtfully planned, semi-rural environment that prioritises design integrity and long-term value was particularly appealing,” she says, of why Jennian Homes was drawn to the development. A focus of Jennian Homes’ contribution is its design philosophy around simple forms, natural materials, and a strong connection to the outdoors. Each home is carefully considered to ensure it sits well within its environment, while making the most of light, views and site orientation. Shannon Farm’s design guidelines align with Jennian’s vision. Gaining inspiration from Central Otago’s natural tones, the development incorporates restrained colour palettes, timber and stone materials, along with modern rural architectural forms to create a consistent, high-quality aesthetic across the neighbourhood. The development is also providing valuable benefits to the wider community. Cara says Shannon Farm is creating a well-considered neighbourhood that enhances the local area through quality housing, green spaces and a strong sense of place, while also contributing to sustainable regional growth. A key feature of the project is the diversity of housing on offer. Jennian Homes provides a range of options, from low maintenance properties through to larger family homes, which can all be tailored to suit individual sites and preferences. For those wanting something more bespoke, custom design services are also available. “Offering a range of designs is essential,” Cara says. “A diverse range of homes allows different buyers — families, retirees and professionals — to find something that suits their lifestyle while still maintaining the overall design cohesion of the development.” Outdoor living is another key element, ensuring homes are designed to embrace the semi-rural lifestyle and everything it has to offer. Features that are offered to complement each build include generous indoor-outdoor flow, sheltered patios and positioning that makes the most of the sun and views. Collaboration has also played a vital role in ensuring the development’s success. Coordination between developers, designers and builders has helped maintain consistency, while ensuring the end product meets everyone’s expectations and vision. Sustainability is also a strong focus, with homes incorporating energy efficient design principles, including improved insulation, glazing and passive solar orientation, alongside durable materials designed for longevity. While the development aims to meet the needs of new homeowners, it is also providing a boost to the local economy, supporting trades, suppliers and contractors across the region. With sections available and homes already underway, interest in Shannon Farm continues to grow. Interested buyers can reach out to Jennian Homes directly to discuss package options or to arrange a viewing.
