Tainui Design
With cleverly designed spaces in a compact footprint, the Tainui is the perfect option for quality family living or holidaying at the beach. Traditional Lockwood high raking timber ceilings are combined with contemporary, open plan living to create a spacious and inviting home with plenty of space in the right place. The Tainui design features three generous bedrooms, a large walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, and plenty of storage. A separate laundry with back entry door is a practical inclusion to this 100m² home.
A sleek kitchen in modern greys and whites features an island bench that looks out over the dining area. A bright glass splashback adds depth and a pop of colour to the space. Large ranch sliders from the lounge and dining open onto a hardwood deck that runs the length of the home, and the inclusion of doors off the kitchen and dining spaces offer that all-important indoor-outdoor flow. High gable-end windows capture plenty of sun and additional natural light to the open plan area. The Tainui is beautifully fitted out using soft neutral tones with pops of colour throughout, working in well with the blonded Lockwood walls and ceilings. LED strip lighting to the kitchen adds a touch of class. The look is carried through to the bathrooms with edge-lit mirrors that appear to float on the wall.
