The Ambiance: an award winning display home

Posted on March 21, 2012 by New Generation Homes

On Saturday 10th March The Ambiance display was announced the winner of the MBA Housing Excellence Award 2012 in the Display Home $190,000 to $210,000 category.

Here’s a few words about this award wining home from Mr. Chris Hopkin, Sales Manager of New Generation Homes.

 

Description
The Ambiance is a three bedroom, two bathroom home with larger than traditionally minor bedrooms (one with a walk-in robe) zoned around a separate computer zone and is proving popular with a wide variety of clients because of its bedroom size.

 

At New Generation Homes we believe in offering flexible designs that can be easily adopted by homebuyers with different needs, lifestyles and at different life stages. We’ve recently noticed a shift in homebuyers needs and nowadays more and more buyers are looking for home designs with more spacious bedrooms.

 

The Ambiance was designed with integration between the outdoor and indoor areas in mind. With two water features; one in the alfresco and one in the private courtyard outside the master suite this display home has got a unique and tranquil ambiance.

 

The Ambiance is a perfect house for those homebuyers who are looking for a large three bedroom home but without sacrificing the quality of features and finishes.

 

The master suite with a private courtyard offering parents space to unwind is one of the most complimented features of The Ambiance. A vanity and mirror wrapping around an open ensuite into a walk-in robe create one common space and a resort-style feel to the master suite. Resort style was also introduced through a double shower which overlooks the private courtyard, an expansive vanity boasting double rectangular countertop basins and a wall of mirror.

 

Inclusions
New Generation Homes have recently introduced new upgraded standard specifications featuring stylish and functional kitchens with a 900mm stainless steel Blanco oven (or choice of twin 600mm Blanco ovens at no additional cost), cook-top and range hood, a choice of solid Essastone bench tops, an undermount double bowl Raymor sink and designer tapware. The resort style ensuites and bathrooms are now fitted with a semi frameless pivot door to showers, Kohler Flipside handshower, above counter basins and designer Raymor tapware

Specifications
The Ambiance features raised 31c ceilings to living, dining, kitchen and alfresco. Raising the ceiling height to both living and alfresco creates a sense of space and creates a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living areas.

 

To visually separate different functions of the open-plan living area we’ve incorporated a feature bulkhead above the kitchen. The feature recessed ceiling in the entry and home theatre create a feeling of space and add depth to both areas.

Home Prices
The Ambiance as displayed – $213,500 (valid till 31st March 2012)

The Ambiance Encore – available from $ $185,500 (valid till 31st March 2012).

The Ambiance is also available in 4 bedroom option.

All Display and Encore Range homes sold in March 2012 come with a bonus option to purchase ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning at $2,999 (giving savings up to $8,460).

Build a New Generation Home and get the best air conditioning system

Posted on January 6, 2012 by New Generation Homes

When you are planning to build your new home, whether in Perth or in the South West, there’s one thing you don’t want to forget: a good air conditioning system. Western Australia is known for the scorching heat of its long hot summers and this is a good enough reason to build instead of buying a old house (just think that majority of the homes built before 1990 don’t have a ducted reverse cycle air conditioning). You can still upgrade – but how much will it cost to you?

You also should keep in mind that air conditioning is one of the many expenses that will be incurred when you complete your new dream home. Many builders in Perth can give you a reduced price for a new home, but then you still have extra costs that include window treatments, flooring, internal and external lighting, kitchen appliances and air conditioning.

New Generation Homes air conditioning offer allows for additional savings when building. Building any home from the Display or Encore Range comes with the opportunity to get a Samsung Inverter Reverse Cycle Ducted Air Conditioning System at a significantly reduced price: only $2,999. That means a massive saving of about $8,460, which is enough to cover some of the additional costs of building. So it’s good news for your budget and new home.

You’ll love your New Generation Home, not only in summer but all year long because this Samsung ducted air conditioning system keeps you comfortable in winter too- each room can be efficiently cooled or heated by a single system.

The Intuitive Controller makes this system easy to use and it features:
- Timer
- Built in room temperature sensor
- Child lock
- Button permission levels

To give you peace of mind, we chose the best quality: the Samsung Inverter Reverse Cycle Ducted Air Conditioning System is installed by Ford & Doonan, WA’s most awarded air conditioning company, and it comes with a 5 year parts and labour warranty. Your peace of mind is assured.

So get the perfect home, then set the perfect temperature. But be quick, the offer is valid until the end of January

From a narrow lot to a Big Australian: pick the right home for your lifestyle

Posted on December 21, 2011 by New Generation Homes

Very few of us will live in the same house our whole lives. At differing stages of our lives we have different houses- depending on what we’re planning- like family or retirement.
To help you choose the best home for your lifestyle and stage in life we’ve got a few suggestions below:

 

I’m an empty nester.

You are retired (or planning your retirement) and want to downsize now the kids have finally moved out. You probably a house suitable for two, but still big enough to enjoy. You can easily go for a 3 bedroom and use the spare bedroom as a workshop, sewing room, studio, dedicated room for the grandkids or even just as an extra storage space.

The perfect home for you is The Verve, with plenty of space to adapt to your needs.

 

I have got a family (and it’s growing).

There’s one thing that every growing family needs: space. Always look for homes with separate games and activity zones, plenty of bedrooms that are big enough for kids to grow up in (teenagers love their space)! And for a bit of serenity for mum and dad, why not have a master bedroom at the front of the home away from all the (inevitably noisy) action.

The Applause is your design: it’s a practical home for the modern family.

 

I’m a natural born entertainer.

Ever the social butterfly you always like to have your home full of people and fun: you like to entertain – and you want to do it in style. Choose homes with large alfresco areas, and an open plan living dining area so you have both winter and summer covered. And you absolutely need to have a master chef style kitchen that will give you room to cook up a storm. A big home theatre is great for home movie nights and watching the game with the gang.

You will love The Vision, a striking home perfect for the entertainer.

 

I’m a busy mother (or father!)

Pick a home with the right design: it will take you half the time to get things done. Do you usually need to prepare a meal while you hang a load of washing? Make sure you have a laundry close to the garage, and off the kitchen: this way, you’ll also ensure the kids’ toys or dirty clothes never have to make their way into the living area. A more compact home means less time cleaning too!

Your ideal home could be The Acclaim: it’s built for style and practicality, and will give any family the room they need every day.

 

Check out these homes and all the other New Generation ranges: there’s a home for everyone, no matter what stage of your life you’re in.

Feel like a Hollywood movie star in the Encore range

Posted on December 6, 2011 by New Generation Homes

Last month we had some fun on our Facebook page with a little competition where we asked our fans their favourite movie quotes. We wanted to reward our fans, and a movie-related competition was very fitting. A Hollywood experience (like the Gold Class ticket prizes) is the best way to describe our Encore Range. From the Sex in the City atmosphere of the opulent ensuite with large walk-in robe for all the shoes, to the massive, cinema-style theatre room, everything in the Encore Range makes you feel like a movie star.

Each of the four home designs in the Encore Range features a series of A-list inclusions, such as:
- modern designer elevation
- resort style ensuite with semi-frameless pivot doors
- home theatre room with remote control lighting
- Raymor tapware & basins
- stylish Blanco appliances

Each design also features a generous living and dining area that includes a master chef style kitchen, which makes it a great place to cook dinner while being part of the fun. And fun is what four of our fans got with Double Gold Class movie tickets – we hope that they enjoyed their Hollywood experience.

Thanks to our fans who participated to the competition!

Good news for first home buyers

Posted on October 10, 2011 by New Generation Homes

When it comes to home building, first home buyers are often daunted by the whole home building process. And if you think about it, there’s a lot to consider, from settlement agents to calculating deposit requirements, to choosing where you want to build. So here’s a few tips that may be helpful if you find yourself in the exciting – yet complex – position of building your first home in Perth.


To build or not to build?
This is often the starting question: is it better to build or buy a second hand home? There are so many benefits to building. First one, is that you don’t have to compromise on getting exactly what you want: design, tiles, paint, colours, taps, floor coverings, everything. To say nothing of the fact that everything is brand new and it comes with building guarantees (for instance, New Generation Homes offers a 25 year structural guarantee) – and from a cost perspective, it’s generally the same.


Location
Have you already heard this expression: “Location, location, location!” First, select a few areas that suit better your needs and lifestyle, then consider your available budget. Done it? Good, now select a builder that has extensive experience in house and land packages in the first homebuyers market and consider all their proposals. If necessary, repeat this until you find the perfect balance between location and budget for you!


Affordable house and land packages
Have a look at the housing market news: every day they’ll tell you that house and land packages in Perth have never been so affordable. Right now many builders have excellent offers and stunning inclusions available. This means competition in the market and competition ignites great deals. Good news for you, if you’re looking to build your first home.


First Home Owner Grant
If you are buying or building your first home, you may be eligible to apply for the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG). The FHOG Scheme is fully funded by the Western Australian Government and administered by the Office of State Revenue. The FHOG is currently $7,000 or the amount that you must pay to purchase or build your home, whichever is the lesser amount. (download the PDF for more information)


Find a trusted, well established builder
OK, as you are reading this on a builder’s website we really believe it’s an unbiased tip. Even if you don’t build with New Generation, you should always remember to verify when your builder was established and how many homes have they built since then. Decide also on this information – not only on price. Don’t forget that a reputable builder has great buying power and an adequate know-how to provide you with the best value for money.

Good time to build in Perth!
