The ‘Pavillion’ design is popular for its layout and strong lines, but there are plenty more reasons why it has become a customer favourite. Solar panels mean this Tauranga show home can be run throughout the day, without having to draw electricity from the grid. Polished concrete floors are warmed by the morning sun.

The 224sqm floorplan – two pavilions and a link forming an H shape – offers sheltered outdoor living areas with views. Step through the front door and you’re in a foyer with a study nook. A bespoke glass sliding door leads into the kitchen, dining, family and lounge areas, that make up one pavilion. The dining-family zone opens out to an alfresco entertaining area.

The charcoal, black and jarrah kitchen combination is simple yet supremely stylish. You’ll find concealed LED light trips, a wraparound scullery and a breakfast/conversation island.

In the second pavilion there are four spacious bedrooms, the main with a luxurious ensuite, a family bathroom and laundry.

The bathrooms, with their quality fittings, provide a quiet sanctuary and there’s also a freestanding bath.
