Award-winning Urban Homes’ Cambridge show home Hamilton-based Urban Homes has recently opened a new show home, named Fendalton 286 to display the style of family homes it is offering. Award-winning Urban Homes, owned by director, Daniel Klinkenberg has featured the show home at 12 Alan Livingston Drive, St Kilda, in Cambridge to demonstrate the award winning style, innovation and design that goes into every home they have the privilege of being involved with. Fendalton 286 is a 286 metre dwelling, described as having exceptional style and warmth and is a fourbedroom home, with three living areas - a kitchen and dining area, a family area, which is open plan and is separate from the third, the lounge. The cladding is of brick recycled from Christchurch and it has a black Eurostyle roof, extending down as cladding on the walls. There is also vertical cedar which creates a design point-ofdifference. The home has been arranged around a central covered area with kwila decking. The main living area, lounge and rumpus room – which is adjacent to three of the bedrooms - open off the central area, creating an excellent indoor–outdoor flow. Luxury details include a free-standing bath which complements an ensuite, which also opens to a private spa area. Along with the show home, Urban Homes has a Design Centre which has a wide variety of options for clients to explore, such as examples of fixtures and fittings, a large selection of plans, photo galleries and examples of finishes. St Kilda has a very specific set of guidelines around design. Daniel says the similar views shared between him and the developer around clever design with a strong focus on sustainability means Urban Homes have a very strong B1504
presence in this prestigious sub-division. Every home is unique, which is great as we specialise in design and build. The show home style suits the prevailing style of homes in the sub-division, which are all situated to gain maximum sun and are insulated to a higher standard than required, and include water tanks and solar panels. The disposition of the houses is covenanted with the purchase of sections, which Daniel says is appreciated by buyers. Daniel believes this is a trend-leading move. Urban Homes’ attention to quality has led to successes in national and local
Registered Master Builders’ House-of-the-Year awards this year winning Gold for New Homes $400,000$500,000 category and Gold and the overall category for New Homes $650-$1
million. Both homes will go forward to the national finals. Contact: Urban Homes, 444 Angelsea Street, Hamilton; 07 839 5570; email, office@urban.co.nz; www.urban.co.nz
