Seavill When the owners of this jaw-dropping home in the Bay of Plenty decided to move on from their terraced house in popular Mount Maunganui to embark on their building journey, they knew they wanted to make the most of the opportunity for extra space. Taking inspiration from the Seaview plan, the design was tweaked slightly to suit the family's needs while the interior and exterior takes on a completely different look and feel. Impressive vintage oak flooring carries through the kitchen, dining and living areas to create a seamless entertaining space. Huge sliding doors open to reveal an outdoor living area like no other - complete with gas fireplace and level-entry to provide uninhibited indoor/outdoor flow. A pool overlooking the large section and water views completes this family home. 10

Inspired by modular living, the house features two separate wings for living and bedroom areas, and can be easily extended to add on extra bedrooms or lounges.

Seaview The owners of this stylish Signature Home in the sunny Bay of Plenty knew exactly what they wanted: a modern home that was both perfect for family living and an entertainer’s delight. Their section was peculiar-shaped and required careful design consideration to incorporate all the features the family wanted, while also capturing the stunning 180 degree views over the Kaimai Ranges and Tauranga Harbour, around to Mount Maunganui. 18

The first part of the home to be designed was the kid’s wing, with three bedrooms, a full bathroom and sizeable rumpus room. Then came the connecting living area, which features a 3.6m stud allowing the home to capture morning sun via high level windows. The spacious kitchen, living and dining rooms open onto a covered deck and pool area. A favourite space for the happy Signature Home owners is their master sanctuary, located on the opposite end of the house to the kid’s wing.

Everyone having their own space was high on the list for this family with three teenage children, however they still wanted space to enjoy time together. The resulting home features a self-contained area downstairs for one child, while upstairs holds a parents' retreat, two double bedrooms, a study, kids' lounge and spacious decking for outdoor entertaining.

The home is made complete with a black roof, black joinery and black garage door to add a touch of elegance.

Relax and escape enjoying the stunning scenery, perfectly framed by large windows

The plan comprises two gable volumes – one long, one short – laid side by side. The smaller gable hosts the private master sanctuary with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, plus a laundry, toilet and double garage. The larger gable contains the open-plan kitchen living and dining plus three bedrooms, separate lounge and family bathroom. Lots of storage and garaging was essential, as was taking advantage of an incredible view over the Moutere Estuary and Tasman Sea. 55

A PARTNERSHIP WITH TREES THAT COUNT For every single Signature Homes home built, our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions created from the home's construction are counteracted by contributing native trees via Trees That Count's planting initiatives. That's around 45 native trees per home that will last hundreds of years. Under our current build programme, we expect to be contributing around 45,000 native trees each year, making us one of Trees That Count's most significant contributors. We encourage our customers to invest in an additional 24 native trees through Trees That Count to counteract their future emissions from their anticipated house maintenance over 50 years.

Together we can build a better future for NZ. Learn more at treesthatcount.co.nz

A PARTNERSHIP WITH SAVE THE KIWI Kiwi are a symbol of the uniqueness of New Zealand wildlife and the value of our natural heritage, and we cannot imagine a world without the kiwi. Our forests, once loud with bird call, are falling silent. Today, stoats, ferrets, dogs, and other predators pose a great danger to this unique bird. By helping raise vital funds to help save the kiwi, we hope that this remarkable bird will be part of future generations. For every single Signature Homes’ home built, we will donate vital funding towards saving the kiwi as part of our partnership with Save the Kiwi. We believe that Save the Kiwi is an environmental cause that unifies all New Zealanders. Learn more at savethekiwi.nz

These two unique partnerships are entwined with one another. Where Kiwis reside, is where Trees That Count plant trees to provide homes for our beloved Kiwi icon.

FOR A BETTER FUTURE Signature Homes cares deeply about our environment, where we actively seek out opportunities to enhance and protect the unique biodiversity of Aotearoa, New Zealand. Our partnerships with Trees That Count and Save the Kiwi enables us to do this.

Exterior colours

Make a lasting impression with a standout exterior Your home’s façade creates the ultimate first impression. The exterior of your house should set the tone for what is to come on the inside. There are many exterior trends floating around, and here are some of our favourites which are showing no signs of slowing down.

Keep it cool with neutral colour palettes Neutral colour palettes for house exteriors have become a popular choice for homeowners. Shades of cooler toned colours such as greys, black and white are modern, easy to work with combinations. For a smart and modern look, grey is best complimented with a bold matte black or charcoal roof, joinery and garage door. This helps to break up the large planes of cladding, adding a touch of dimension. Alternatively, add a sense of warmth by mixing a neutral facade with stained cedar cladding features. This adds a layered element to your home, creating character.

key tip: the key to

creating an impactful exterior is to ensure you have contrast and a focal point to prevent colours fading into one.

Finding the right paint with Resene The Resene CoolColour Technology range makes painting exterior surfaces in darker colours easier and safer. Thanks to special pigment technology, colours in the range reflects more heat, so it doesn’t get as hot as a normal colour would.

Exterior materials

Rethink Brick The traditional brick is making a comeback. Bricks are undeniably, timeless, beautiful, and richly diverse. No two brick walls are the same, which is why brick detailing has become a popular concept among homeowners who wish to create impactful features inside and out of their home. There is no better way to create a bit of dimension and point of difference to your home by mixing up your exterior materials.

key tip: with the variety of fresh and

modern styles of brick available, you can choose to keep them raw for a more industrial look or paint them to create a sleek finish. Learn more about the latest Brick Trends here

Innovative technology Make your home more energy efficient

Fresh air all day with passive ventilation

Windows and doors are a key design feature for your home, but can also play a part in creating a comfortable home all year round. They are an important element to get right, as they have a significant impact on a home’s thermal performance, making it easier to heat and cool your home, reducing energy bills.

On average, we breathe 13,000 litres of air per day and spend around 90% of our day indoors – either at home, work or school. Indoor pollutants such as moisture, allergens, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are trapped inside which impacts our health and performance and can damage buildings. Passive Ventilation can help to introduce fresh air into the building, improve air quality, and reduce energy consumption.

key tip: When choosing windows and doors, consider

Low-E double glazing with an inert gas fill (such as Argon or Krypton) between the glass sheets to slow the flow of heat in and out of your home.

Upholstered headboards are another must! Whether that be a deep buttoned or vertical panelled headboard in linen, boucle or velvet.

key tip: when using velvet, try a polyester velvet as a more hard wearing, child and pet friendly option.

Fabrics Boucle is a huge fabric trend coming through into all areas of the home. Especially in whites and creams, for soft furnishings and furniture. It brings in a beautiful strong texture to any room of the house. Linen is also still a favourite, it’s textured look comes in a wide range of colours to suit any style of room.

We are seeing the superb white and coloured designs in vitreous china, mineral/resin mixes, ceramic materials and stone composites. White basins are still the colour of choice, they now come in many varied shapes and forms as well as design aesthetics.

Tapware Slim contemporary tapware is trending, bringing a modern or industrial style to homes. Chrome is the safest, most popular option however there are alternatives to the shiny look with brushed chrome and brushed stainless steel now matching kitchen appliances.

key tip: Weathered brass and black tapware finishes look stunning against white tile or bold coloured walls.

Revitalised showering

Luxuriously deep slipper baths

A showering experience that feels like a luxury spa experience is the perfect way to start the day. An imposing rain shower or overhead drencher can create an invigorating stream of water.

If you are looking for a luxurious comfortable bathing experience then look no further than a fabulous freestanding bath. The curvaceous form of the slipper bath creates a wonderful, restful experience, adding to the comfort of your home.

The rain head drencher can be wall or ceiling mounted as well as integrated into a slide shower system allowing you to choose the aesthetic you desire.

key tip: For a more relaxing tranquil

shower try a waterfall option reminiscent of nature with their gentle flow of water.

Showers Level-entry shower systems with frameless glass screens are a simple yet highly functional way of creating a seamless modern design. Integrated solutions such as recessed shelving and towel rails create practical storage but also continue the clean lines of the shower. Homeowners have more choice when it comes to the finishing touches, matching door handles and waste covers to tapware colours.

key tip: Combine with a soothing colour scheme in your bathroom you’ll create a wonderful relaxing space.

Back to nature

Interior

In our fast-paced world and ‘always on’ culture, most of us yearn for ways to disconnect. From a place to sleep, eat and take a shower, our personal space has now, once again, become the most meaningful place in our lives: one that may also have to do double duty as a workplace but still needs to facilitate rest and rejuvenation.

with

While nature itself has long been a common inspiration for home décor, woodland tones including silvery sages such as Resene Bud, muddy stone greys like Resene Nomad, jades like Resene Palm Green and olive greens such as Resene Saratoga are among the most popular trending hues.

paint trends Resene

key tip: bring in natural textures and stain timber in Resene Colorwood wood stain to reinforce nature’s touch.

Cool & Calming Evocative of the sea and the sky, the colour blue brings together the deepest depths of the ocean with lightness of the seventh cloud. It stands for integrity, power, tranquillity and health and is considered as beneficial to the mind and body. Blue is one of those hues that always seems to be relevant, and its wide range of appealing hues offer so much diversity, which makes it easy to keep finding fresh and exciting alternatives to the shades of years past.

key tip: continue your chosen light blue from your walls onto your ceiling to soften the room edges for a more cocooning space.

Neutrals with soul Given the efforts to turn our spaces into more relaxing places to spend time, we’re embracing living a more clutter-free and thoughtful life. Shades associated with minimalism, such as creams, beiges, greys, taupe and whites, have always been popular choices for anchoring interior colour palettes. But until recently, it seemed like the neutral everyone was after was cold, steely grey and it was seen as the epitome of what’s fresh and contemporary.

Dark & dramatic Deep, fully saturated colours have captured the imaginations of courageous colour lovers seeking a refreshingly different look for their homes. Moody blues, greys and browns in particular, such as Resene Indian Ink, Resene Armadillo and Resene Monkey are making some serious waves, especially when layered with darker and lighter variations in tonal schemes. These hues are ideal for building up a deeply layered cocoonworthy look in spaces where you want to linger longer, such as a bedroom or lounge.

key tip: when opting

for dark and dramatic colours, keep in mind that you may need to adjust your lighting. Use lamps, accent lighting and dimmer switches to help create the right mood.
