HOUSE & GARDEN The striking design of this unique residential build displays all the hall marks underpinning superior craftmanship. A prominent mono-pitched roof and large front facing windows set this home apart in a modern residential subdivision. The orientation and design take full advantage of the Marlborough landscape with uninterrupted views of the surrounding hills and mountain ranges. A combination of cedar cladding beneath the dark mono-pitched roof and white plaster cladding below a gabled roof at the home’s opposite end, create a stylish monochromatic visual contrast. Quality workmanship is imperative in all Andrew Pope Homes builds with this show home being absolutely no exception. The same team of builders carried out the entire build from laying the slab, framing, trusses, cladding and finishing. This ensures continuously meticulous standards and stunning results and is a key point of difference in an Andrew Pope Home. The massive 4.5 metre stud throughout the living areas produces a light and airy sense of spaciousness with the flooring complimenting this by seamlessly connecting the dining, kitchen and living space. The three bedroom 225sqm home is highly spec’d with a bespoke kitchen and adjoining spacious scullery packed with top of the line equipment. This level of quality continues throughout with an immaculate finish in both the bedroom and bathroom spaces where the square lines of cabinetry and lighting details are nicely juxtaposed with a circular statement. The contemporary industrial style of the pendant lighting in the kitchen feature in all rooms of the home adding another departure from the average new – build template. The clever design of this plan maximises the view from integral parts of the house. Alfresco living complements the design of the home with stacker doors feeding through from the dining area to a spacious deck. The high spec aspect of the build continues with an integrated air-conditioning system that can be set to provide a consistent temperature throughout the house. 13
