When designing a showhome, a design and
build company will naturally include the best of
everything, both to show off the firm’s resources
and skills and to capture a buyer’s imagination.
This home, however, takes it all to the next level.
Experienced designer-builder and owner of
Chancellor Construction Wayne Zeng says his
firm has undergone a major shift – moving from
building standard upmarket homes to working
with high-end, one-of-a-kind luxury residences.
“We’ve thrived in this market for over six
years now. But lately there’s been a clear shift in
customer interest towards top-end homes that
reflect the highest quality in terms of functional
design, natural materials, hand-crafted features,
advanced home technologies, future-proofing –
essentially, the best of everything,” says Zeng.
“And our latest offering – a six-bedroom
Albany showhome complete with granny flat is
a showcase for what clients can expect from us.”
The home is clad in a mix of plaster-over-brick,
cedar, and timber weatherboards. It is roofed in
CertainTeed shingles from Viking Roofspace.
And the home is equally appealing inside.
Offering great functionality, it’s organised with
a grand entry, separate flat, three-car garage,
