HOMEH O U S E T O

Can anyone believe that it’s the end of March already? Autumn is here and winter is on its way. From snow to frosts, gale force winds and all that comes with it, there is a good chance we will all be spending a lot more time inside in the coming months.

In this edition of House to Home we include three local subdivisions and one lifestyle village, keeping you up to date on what is happening in Ashburton. In addition to this we place a spotlight on the new home of locals Mick and Sanae Hydes, giving you an inside look at the building process of this home that has sparked local conversation.

Amanda Wright covers the latest trends and tips in the home décor world. From bathroom bliss to the Pantone colour of the year and how you can incorporate this into your home.

Local Lawyer Greg Martin shares his knowledge on how to be section smart when buying the land for your dream home.

So sit back, treat yourself to a nice hot drink and immerse yourself in the pages of the March edition of House to Home. I hope you love it as much as we loved bringing it to you.

Inside and out, the contemporary and stylish home of Mick and Sanae Hydes illustrates

architectural grandeur at its best.

Located in Tinwald’s Elmwood Grove, you can’t help but take notice of the striking angles that welcome visitors to the grand entrance.

From the moment you set eyes on the property, you are drawn to the tall entry portico, with multiple angled windows and roof sections, where synergy has been created without the more common use of total sym-metry.

Using blends of classical and contemporary lines, architect Russell Murray has created a modern home, conducive to Mick and Sanae’s personalities and lifestyle. Sanae’s Japanese heritage is evident in the clean detailing of the design, where Mick’s real estate career al-lowed him to capture the best features. The result shows how skilled workmanship, clever de-sign and quality materials can harmonise.

Mick and Sanae placed total faith within their architect’s hands. From a simple list of likes and dislikes, Russell was able to design a masterpiece which Mick and Sanae are de-lighted to call home.

As you walk through the front door, you are greeted by space and light. The 4.8 metre ceiling which peaks at the front of the home instantly lifts the open living areas. The extravagant

height called for elegant tall windows, which fill the expanse with an abundance of natural light. The ceiling angles down-ward to its lowest height of 2.7 metres, bringing the modern lines into the interior. From the outside you can be forgiven for thinking this home was double-storey, but once inside, the word ‘wow’ instantly comes to mind.

Trust Murray Milne Joinery for quality

Three glass doors open from the living area, where opaque glass panels have been installed above each door. This clever innovation allows light to pass through into these other ar-eas, but the opaque glass has a frosted appearance, so it is not see-through. This borrowed light fills the passageway which leads to the master bedroom, as well as the passage leading to the guest wing, and also into the laundry.

“No dark corners” was the aim of Mick and Sanae, which has been cleverly achieved without the need for electrical lighting to be used during the day. Even the ensuite of the master bed-room has a skylight, so lights aren’t needed in the home until the stars come out. When night does fall, a clever lighting de-

sign plan was installed by Laser Electrical, to ensure that the rooms were evenly filled with light, despite the differing ceil-ing heights.

Every woman’s dream, the mas-ter bedroom features a luxuri-ous walk-in-wardrobe, which Mick describes as huge. When he saw the initial size of the wardrobe on the plans, he said to the architect “have you not seen how many clothes Sanae has?” Laughing they made the wardrobe significantly bigger, one of the few design changes requested by Mick and Sanae.

As well as being a luxurious sanctuary, Mick and Sanae placed importance on the qual-ity of construction materials used as much as the aesthetic beauty. Built by local builder Des Millar, the quality of ma-terials used were well above what is required, with emphasis

placed on stability and thermal quality. No matter where you turn in this home, the quality of workmanship and design is evident.

The rib-raft flooring system installed was chosen for its thermal properties as well as seismic resilience, in an ef-fort to strengthen for possible earthquakes. Thick external walls, thermally broken alumin-ium framed windows and thick ceiling insulation were all key components. Underfloor water-piped heating was installed and is powered by solar energy. Mick and Sanae were pleasantly surprised at how quickly the underfloor heating warmed up, but haven’t yet gone through a full winter to test it to its fullest.

The emphasis on thermal insu-lation created a pleasant living during the scorching summer days. When the temperature rose above the mid-thirties out-side, inside remained pleasant in the mid-twenties.

The master bedroom, guest bedroom, two-person office and Sanae’s craft room all have luxurious proportions. The guest bedroom mirrors the master bedroom and has been constructed on the oppo-site side of the house, to allow guests a feeling of total privacy. A simply beautiful home to enjoy life as it should be lived, with the people that you love most. Each room and the rela-tionship it forms with the rest of the home unifies for a sense

EACH ROOM AND THE RELATIONSHIP IT FORMS WITH THE REST OF THE HOME UNIFIES FOR A SENSE OF WARMTH AND ELEGANCE

of warmth and elegance, but with evocative twists. There is always something new and ex-citing to grab your attention.

Mick and Sanae’s home is a stellar example of how out-standing workmanship, unique design and energy efficiency can work in total unanimity without compromise. The prac-tical home doubles as an enter-tainers delight.

Like any labour of love, their sanctuary is still a work in progress, with the creation of a Japanese garden with pond. With winter approaching, the

couple are looking forward to the cosiness of their modern retreat, a warm haven to un-wind and enjoy the life they love to live.

The lodge is now operational, with the communal lounge areas and kitchen available for residents to use. The hairsalon, massage room, health room, library, gymnasium and arts and crafts areas will soon be available for use by residents, with family invitations and group meals encouraged. Minor finishing touches are being ap-plied to the full-sized outdoor bowling green, and the indoor bromide swimming pool and spa are soon to be completed in April.

The engaging lifestyle is de-signed with residents in mind, to offer excitement and enter-tainment, a lifestyle which will inject a spring in the step of its occupants.

Construction on the hospital wing will commence later this year, with a view to comple-tion in 2015.

RadiantOrchid

The colour czars have spoken, and this year will be radiant!

Radiant Orchid blooms with confidence and magical warmth that intrigues the eye and sparks the imagination. It is an expressive, creative and embracing purple; one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. A captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones, Radiant Orchid emanates great joy, love and health.Pantone, known as the global authority on colour, have chosen Radiant Orchid as the on-trend colour for 2014, replacing last year’s colour of emerald.

A colour is selected yearly by a secret committee, who draw global influence from all corners of life, from technology to travel destinations, nature and of course, fashion.

But how reliable is this prediction?

Just take a look at last year’s colour, emerald, which ended up making huge statements from the catwalk to art and interior design.The bold and bright purple hue with pink and fuchsia undertones is predicted to make as many waves this year as emerald did last year, but in very different ways. It has

already premiered in spring 2014 fashion collections in Emerson by Jackie Fraser-Swan, Juicy Couture and Yoana Baraschi.

How can I apply it in my home?

Radiant Orchid isn’t a shy shade. It’s bold and brash and not everyone’s cup of tea. The key to incorporating it into your interior design is to use it as an accent.

The bright colour is best used judiciously in small doses, with splashes of the bold hue making a statement against an otherwise neutral palette. The contrast against white is too harsh, so think of a slightly pale blue, smoky grey colour. Even a mushroom tone. It will uplift and re-energise a neutral base, including taupe and beige.

If you like to live on the edge, you don’t have to play it safe with a neutral palette. Radiant Orchid also complements olive and deep greens, and teams

up well with other bright pops of colour, such as yellow and turquoise. Orange is another good bright colour-pairing choice as it’s an opposite of the purple tone.

While it’s not practical to change your interior with every new colour trend that bursts onto the scene, this shade is so alive that it really doesn’t take much to transform a drab area into an exciting and welcoming haven. Great news for those of us on a budget. It can be

as simple as an area rug, a vase and a piece of artwork to completely transform a room, but if you don’t warm to the sassy hue, it’s easy to replace and start over.

So forget sterile stainless steel this season and break away from boredom. Bring in the brightness with Radiant Orchid and enjoy experimenting with colour. You’ll end up creating a space which not only livens the mood of your home, but the mood of its occupants.

GROUND CONDITIONS The cost of having to obtain a geotechnical report into the load-bearing capacity of the soil, and then having to design and build bespoke foundations can add tens of thousands to the cost of a build. Poor load-bearing soil can be a feature of a section that is in the proxim-ity of a water course. Ideally, any agreement for your pur-chase of the section should be subject to you approving a LIM Report on the property. A LIM Report should deliver some ba-sic information on ground con-ditions, particularly if the land is part of a new subdivision. It may also include informa-tion held by ECan on whether a previous use has left the site contaminated, or potentially contaminated. Contamination can also result in you having to spend unexpected sums before you have even pegged out the foundations.

zONE RULES

Your target section will be zoned within the Ashburton District Plan. Each zone has different rules that will dictate what you can and cannot do on that land. Your architect, de-signer, or builder should know what is going to be possible without having to apply for a Resource Consent. The Coun-cil is also helpful in answering queries, although some of the rules are reasonably techni-cal. These are best left for the experts to consider. Having to make an application for Re-source Consent where aspects of your plans fall outside of what is permitted under the zone rules adds time, cost, and a degree of uncertainty at the early stages of your build. How-ever, to make the best use of a site you may indeed need to apply for a Resource Consent. Some Resource Consents, such as discharge permits (storm water or sewage), may come with on-going monitoring and compliance costs. These will

be unavoidable where Council services are not available to the boundary.

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

If the section is part of a new subdivision, it is very likely that the developer will have placed a covenant on the land title restricting some of the param-eters of your proposed build. These restrictions will be in ad-dition to the restrictions under the District Plan zone rules. A covenant may also restrict what you can do on the site once the house is up (for instance by prohibiting growing tall trees or the storage of caravans and motorhomes). These covenants are aimed at preserving the quality of the subdivision, and will normally apply to the own-ers of all sections. However, whilst these cov-enants may be in your inter-ests as the new land owner, if not considered before you start planning, you may find yourselves having to change direction after a false start. For instance, the height of fences on the road-front boundary is often limited to less than 1m meaning that you could end up enjoying little or no privacy whilst sitting out on your brand new deck in front of the bi-fold doors of your brand new lounge.

At very least, the plans for your new build will probably need to be approved by the developer. If you are going to be doing something unusual or cutting edge, then your agreement to buy the section should be con-ditional on you obtaining the developer’s approval of your plans before you are commit-ted to proceed with the pur-chase of the section.

The building process is going to be stressful enough without unforeseen circumstances aris-ing. For this reason it would be a good idea to get your solici-tor on board before committing to buying a section.

From heated tiles underfoot to luxurious lighting and sanctu-ary-like soak tubs, today’s bath-room seeks to create a luxuri-ous retreat from our frenetic lives. A place to seek solitude and soak away the stress of the day, but for the savvy seller, it’s also a lucrative liquid invest-ment.

Peace and quiet aren't the only motivating factors in making your bathroom the most im-pressive room in the home. An upgraded bathroom will help a home to sell and will more often than not attract a higher selling price. Bathroom design revolves around the notion of making your bathroom like a sanctu-ary, with beautiful lighting, rich stonework and deep freestand-ing tubs. Elements aren’t included to become show-piec-

es to impress dinner guests, the emphasis is on pure relaxation and bliss, a retreat to linger and luxuriate.

Luxury linen, spa-worthy aro-matherapy, rich materials, cutting-edge technology and the ultimate in hydrotherapy are all fundamental to creating a bathroom of bliss.

SOAKINGIt doesn’t matter whether your preference is a bath or a show-er, both options can provide heavenly hydrotherapy. A free-standing solid stone tub adds modern luxury to a bathroom space, or opt for technological advancement to soak in spa-like bubbles.Showers can incorporate multi-ple heads to replicate cascad-

ing tropical rain, and can be equipped with an LCD screen to pre-set temperature, sprays, music, steam and even release aromatherapy. The result is a highly personalised therapeutic experience and a relaxing break from the mental and physical stresses of the day.

PRIVACYAs far as the prime real es-tate market is concerned, less than one bathroom for each bedroom is fundamentally too few. Although modern homes come equipped with multiple bathroom options, walling off a toilet is a desirable feature, to give the feeling of privacy. Big bathrooms are in, but having a visible toilet is out.

SAFETYOnce only found in nursing homes, grab bars or handles bolted securely to walls in showers and beside tubs are becoming more popular to prevent slips and injury. Luck-ily, they no longer look institu-tional, and can be found in chic designs, some even looking downright glam.

WARMTHNo-one likes to get out of a hot bath into a cold environ-ment, with ice-cold flooring. If you didn’t invest in under-floor heating when the home was constructed, it’s no longer an issue. Electrical mesh can be placed under tiles and con-

nected to a thermostat to give the tiles an under-floor heating warmth. This can be achieved for hundreds, not thousands, and can be energy efficient to operate.

TECHNOLOGYFrom LCD televisions that look like mirrors when not in opera-tion, to chic cabinets that in-clude refrigeration to keep bev-erages cool, there are a myriad of advancements to make your bathroom everything you have desired. To ensure electronics operate safely, invest in a new humidity system which can automatically detect humidity in the air. This will keep your bathroom feeling dryer, warmer and you won’t have to wipe the mirror down with a towel.

LIGHTINGNothing says romance like the dimming of lights, just as noth-ing will ruin the relaxation of soaking in the tub if the light-ing is too harsh. Ensure bright, well-positioned lighting is a feature above the vanity, and then set the mood of your luxu-rious bathroom with a stunning pendant or chandelier, to add a touch of class as well as the right level of lighting to en-hance relaxation.

The bathroom is more about “me” time rather than “we” time, so any money invested will directly benefit the home-owner, in a behind-closed doors domain.

Each section at Oaklea has protective covenants to uphold the quality of the subdivision, to protect your property invest-ment. Each owner’s attention to quality, design, construc-tion and landscaping will be matched by their neighbours, creating a welcoming environ-ment.

The result is a coherent and at-tractive development of green space, which reflects the coun-try location but upholds a feel-ing of quality and grandeur.

Upon completion, Oaklea will consist of three main cul-de-sac branches, resulting in no through-traffic. Traffic enter-ing and leaving are exclusively visiting residents from that subdivision only, to provide a quiet and safe residential living environment. It is an area to sa-

vour all the joys of living, where residents have a desire to enjoy a safe and stimulating lifestyle,

all from their own backyard.While the location of Oaklea is semi-rural, excellent ameni-ties in Tinwald are only minutes away. Childcare facilities and a popular primary school provide educational support for fami-lies, and the booming industrial sectors provide business op-portunities. A shopping centre, restaurant, café and medical centre are all conveniently located within Tinwald, while all the charm within Ashburton itself is also close at hand.Life is too short to be stuck in

As homeowners we are con-sistently being encouraged to insulate, draught stop and heat effectively. This is all well and good, but let’s be honest batts in the ceiling and polystyrene under the floor are a bit hard to get excited about. So you start to think what could I add to my home that will inspire me, make my house feel like a home, as well as satisfy my insulation needs?

WINDOWS

Windows allow the sunlight, ventilation and heat to come in through the warmer parts of the day but at night time they can become an area in your home your precious heat can escape. Good curtains and

blinds can reduce heat loss through windows by 60 per cent for single glazed windows and 40 to 50 per cent for dou-ble glazed. Another advantage gained from window furnish-ings is their effect on noise. Inside they absorb noise and reduce echoing, especially in rooms with hard flooring, as well as muffling any sounds coming from outside such as road noise.

FABRIC

There is a huge range of fab-ric out there that is available to be made into window fur-nishings to add interest and excitement to your renovation project. Whether you’re after something colourful or muted,

FUNCTION OR FUN?With the days getting shorter and the

temperature getting a bite to it, it is very hard to ignore the fact that winter is on

its way. We add extra and thicker layers of clothing to our bodies to keep the heat in so it’s quite logical that we would do the same

19patterned or plain, shiny and sparkly or natural and textured, there will definitely be some-thing out there for you.

CURTAINS

Curtains are the most com-mon way to cover your win-dows, but all curtains are not created equal. The thicker the fabric the better the insulation but most of the benefit comes from having a separate lining. A block-out coated lining adds another layer for warmth with-out stiffening the fabric so it still drapes softly. The use of this lining also controls the light effectively for shift workers wanting to sleep during the day or even if you would just like a sleep every now and again!

INSTALLATION

How the curtains are installed can also influence how well they work. By extending the track well past the window, so the whole curtain is off the window during the day, allows you the maximum amount of heat during the day. Then by closing them just before dark they retain that heat overnight. Hanging the track above the frame or under a pelmet and having the curtains to the floor is also another way to reduce draughts and light coming into the room.

BLINDS

However not every situation calls for a curtain, sometimes a blind is a better option. All different types of blinds have different degrees of insulation. But at the end of the day any window covering, whether that be a roman, venetian, roller or curtain, is better than nothing. One very thermal efficient type of blind is a honeycomb blind. Its superior performance is due to the honeycomb structure which contains a cushion of air and thus acts as an excellent buffer against cold and heat. They come in a broad range of colours and with co-ordinating componentry. Its small stacking depth and thin profile allows it to be discrete and installed into places where other blinds just wouldn’t work. So when you’re next thinking insulation, don’t assume it is all function and no fun.

21Invest in a piece of land large enough to build a home, with room to spare for a tennis court, a shed to house the boat and other outdoor toys, a pool and entertainment area to en-joy on summer evenings as well as room for the kids to play.

All of this and more is available at the Kelburn Estate located off Tarbottons Road in Tinwald. This estate is for those look-ing to enjoy the freedom of a lifestyle block but with the manageability of being part of an estate. With sections av-eraging around 4000 square metres you can have the best of worlds, space and a rural feel while taking advantage of the town supply water, sewer con-nection and fibre optic cable to the boundary. This makes the building process easier and more cost effective than most traditional country dwellings.

Local man Stuart of Stuart Tar-botton Contractors has devel-oped Kelburn after his father Malcolm created parcels of land that still allow for easy care but with the feel of a rural lifestyle block. This begun with putting in a large pump station and holding tank under the ground with an expansive storage capacity. The tank is approx six meters deep which took a lot of dewatering and backfill-ing to achieve, a large job that required concrete above and below.

Sewer lines and manholes were constructed, and all pipework from one end to the other was checked by camera to make sure there was no ponding, and tests for water leaks passed with flying colours.

After sewer, power and fibre optic were laid, Stuart Tarbot-ton Contractors completed the roading, channel and kerbing in preparation for the final hot mix. Grass swales with pipe work and structures were con-structed to handle storm water requirements in line with ECan requirements.

Kelburn is an exclusive com-munity featuring fully serviced sections with plenty of green space giving residents the room to enjoy a great indoor/outdoor lifestyle. All of the ground work and planning has been done and is ready for

your dream home and lifestyle to begin. With all the Tinwald and Ashburton amenities close by, convenience and necessity are close at hand.

The Tinwald Golf Course is a gentle meander down the road, framed by the impres-sive Southern Alps, providing a lifestyle second to none. This is truly a place of beauty and solitude.

THIS ESTATE IS FOR THOSE LOOKING TO ENJOY THE FREEDOM OF A LIFESTYLE BLOCK BUT WITH THE MANAGEABILITY OF BEING PART OF AN ESTATE.

With the amazing mountain views, green country outlook and serenity, this development is becoming a popular haven with Stage One nearly sold out and the grand opening of Stage 2 on the 30th of March. Kelburn Estate welcomes you home where you can breathe the fresh country air, enjoy the picturesque landscape and still be close to all of your favourite things.

The Decision to install solar panels has often meant bulky glass panels which take away from the aesthetics of your new home or building. However a partnership between Italian steel & energy giant Marcega-glia & Calder Stewart Roofing is finally giving consumers the option of a high performing smart looking alternative.

On its own Calder Stewart Roofings solar rib profile is a very stylish looking roof, it has a wide flat pan and high rib providing sharp clean lines to complement your home, it is

also a very durable product de-signed to withstand the harsh-est of New zealand’s climates.

But that’s not all, it doesn’t just withstand the weather – it harnesses our strong UV and turns that into electricity. The PV laminate, made in Italy is the next generation in solar technology, moving away from bulky, fragile glass panels that bolt into the roof. The laminate itself is only 4mm thick and a soft malleable product that can be walked on, hit by hail or a stray cricket ball and it will keep on performing without

any issues, but best of all it is discreet and blends in with your tray roofing.

Calder Stewart tested Solar Rib Roofing and the Photo-Voltaic Laminates (PVL) in one of Nzs harshest climates, the Milford track. Against excessive wind, rain, hail, snow and regular at-tacks from the native kea the roof & solar system performed exceptionally well. So well in fact DOC decided to use the same system at Codfish Island, one of the most remote huts and harshest environments in New zealand.

SolarSmart

Solar rib can be seen on indus-trial sheds, architectural homes, small holiday batches & com-mercial buildings across New zealand while the PV laminates are currently powering pre-schools, high schools, commer-cial buildings and homes across New zealand as well. By installing Calder Stewarts innovative PV laminates which blend seamlessly into the roof design without penetrating or protruding from the roof you can have your home / commer-cial or farm building generat-ing all its own power & feeding back into the grid.
