Landmarks Homes Showhome in Tauranga – A taste of Bali in Palm Springs
Designed to reflect a welcoming Balinese retreat, Landmark Homes Bay of Plenty’s new Showhome in Palm Springs, Papamoa combines open, sun-filled spaces, a fantastic indoor-outdoor flow and a tropical resort-like look and feel designed to relax and rejuvenate.
Spanning a generous floorplan of 220m², the Showhome is based on Landmark Homes’ Cambridge design, but with a few tailored alterations to suit the site and outlook. “Our Ready to Build plans are often a great starting point for those needing inspiration for their new build,” says Landmark Homes BOP franchisee Carly Stewart. “But of course, they can be adapted to suit – which has been nicely demonstrated with our Cambridge design Showhome.”
One of the stand-out features within the living area is the pillarless stacker doors that create a seamless flow to the outdoors. Once the doors are opened, the two spaces blend into one – something that Carly says is very appealing to alfresco-loving Kiwis.
While acting as an extension of the lounge and dining space, the outdoor living area brings its own Balinese magic touches with a bamboo fence featuring eye-catching white breeze block pillars.
The outdoor living area also includes a built-in barbecue and a copper rain-head shower for washing off sand from the nearby beach before heading indoors.
Bringing in a touch of colour
One of the fun aspects of designing your home using one of our modern 3 bedroom house plans is the scope for adding personal touches through colour and texture. The Cambridge design Showhome beautifully demonstrates this in each of the two bathrooms. In the main bathroom, Carly has used a carefully selected terracotta-coloured tile to add a stunning splash of peachy pink. “Because the rest of the house is dominated by white, the bathrooms offered a great opportunity to be a bit more experimental,” she says.
The Cambridge design Showhome is a perfect example of how Landmark Homes’ 3 bedroom house plans can be transformed into an individualised home that reflects your unique personality.
The Landmark Homes Cambridge design Showhome is now open and ready to inspire your relaxing retreat. To view, call in at 10 Montiicola Drive, or contact us today to make an appointment.
