The Perfect Duet

Landmark Homes is synonymous with crafting beautiful, high-quality homes designed to reflect the unique lifestyles of their owners. The Encore Plan Collection from Landmark elevates this ethos, marrying bespoke elegance and functionality with affordability, ensuring every homeowner can achieve their vision without compromise.

For Taupō couple Sue and Ivan, the Duet Ready to Build plan within Landmark’s Encore Collection was the ideal foundation for their home. It encapsulated a blend of comfort and refined living, precisely tailored to their individual tastes. 

Sue and Ivan’s new home boasts four large bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two living areas. This thoughtful layout provides ample room for family and guests to stay while also making it easy for the couple to shut off unused areas when it’s just the two of them.

Adjacent to the living space is a beautifully designed covered outdoor area, perfect for dining al fresco or entertaining guests. With the addition of an extendable awning and a retractable side wall shade, this space becomes even more versatile, providing comfort and shelter throughout the year.

The master suite in Sue and Ivan's home is a true sanctuary, featuring sliders that open out to their own decked area, offering a seamless transition between indoor comfort and outdoor living.

Built to budget

One of the standout features of Landmark Homes' approach, particularly with the Encore Plan Collection, is the cost clarity of their designs. This upfront transparency in pricing is a cornerstone of their service, ensuring homeowners like Sue and Ivan can start their building journey with a clear understanding of the financial commitment involved.

“We knew exactly what to expect in terms of costs,” says Sue. “Landmark laid it all out for us from the start, which meant there were no surprises.” 

This level of financial predictability is invaluable, providing homeowners with the confidence to make informed decisions about their build without the worry of unforeseen expenses.

The pre-costed plans also streamline the lending process, as homeowners can present a clear financial picture to their lenders, making it easier to secure the necessary funding. Moreover, the plan's pre-costed framework allowed their vision to come to life within a budget that was both realistic and accommodating.

Choosing the perfect plan

Sue and Ivan were drawn to the Duet plan for its open-plan design and the practicality of a single-story layout. The concept of a unified living space, where the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas seamlessly blend, perfectly matched their vision for a home built around family and togetherness.

Like all Landmark Homes plans, the Duet offers the option of customisation to fit the homeowners’ wants and needs. Visiting the Landmark Showhomes and a nearby Duet build in progress helped the couple decide on options for their own build. 

Sue and Ivan opted to remove one of the bedrooms which allowed them to have more space in the other bedrooms. They also added a kitchen scullery and expanded the size of the garage, ensuite, and master wardrobe. And, by reducing the size of the hallway and adjusting the wall partitions in the lounge, they achieved an even more fluid and inviting open-plan living area, enhancing the sense of openness and connectivity within the home.

Working together with the Landmark Homes Taupō team meant Sue and Ivan could make these changes while still keeping their project within their level of investment. This adaptability ensured that their dream home not only met but exceeded their expectations, embodying the perfect blend of personalisation, quality, and value.

A home that ticks all the boxes

Landmark's commitment to cost transparency is not just about keeping to a budget; it's about empowering homeowners to make their dream home a reality with financial peace of mind. For Sue and Ivan, this approach meant they could focus on the exciting aspects of their build, safe in the knowledge their financial bases were covered.
