Build Home Magazine Feb Issue#24.2 2018 Vorige editie

With computer modelling and websites offering 3D walkthroughs, it’s now much easier to get a sense of what your new home will look like once it’s built but there is no substitute for actually walking through a home and trying it on for size. Display homes give you a first-hand feel for the orientation of rooms and the flow of the floorplan. They allow you to assess how much natural light the home will get and how easily it connects to the outdoors; to see for yourself if the finishes, fittings and appliances are of high quality. In this edition of BuildHome, we share some expert advice on how to refine your home search and make the most of your visit to a display village. And for those seeking design inspiration, we showcase the 2017 HIA-CSR Queensland Housing Awards’ winners. From Hamptons-style havens to rural retreats, the homes cover the full gamut.
