This showhome for Signature Homes is located in Tauranga’s fastest growing suburb Papamoa. The brief was to showcase all that Signature Homes had to offer: a complete package of design, interior, and landscaping with a high level of finish. The fact the house sold on the first day open to the public shows it ticks all the boxes.

On this beach location outdoor entertainment is hugely important, therefor the hub of the house is the kitchen / courtyard area with it’s big fire place. Indoor flows into outdoor and seamlessly into indoor again. 

The design had to solve the showhome problem of being open and inviting and private at the same time. On top of that there was this  odd shape section with 2 possible street entries. By making the main entrance on the Grenada Street side we opted for a more private look from that side .

Placing the master bedroom and en suite in a separate wing gives it the much needed privacy. The other bedrooms are pushed into the south corner of the section but have a small private garden patch. Placing the u-shape plan into the triangular section made it possible to create small look-at gardens at the right places to extend the views and give a sense of being surrounded by nature. The landscaping is design as vital part of the (interior of the) house.
