CLIENT BRIEF
As the directors of Gaston Developments, Stuart and Liz, we are very hands on for the whole process of planning and development of any project. We like to spend time with you to assess your needs and wants for your “dream home”. You may have a very clear idea of what you want and may even have a floor plan design or are keen for a total concept tailored just for you. The time spent on this process is invaluable.
DESIGN THEORY
Exterior
After consultation with you, the design process can begin. Along with the requests you may have the design would take in the location, position, family size, resale value and any heritage issues and the impact on the immediate area. Street appeal is very important not only for you but also for council applications. This is also part of the process that we oversee to make it less stressful for you. The placement of eaves, verandah s and windows are all important in obtaining a 6-star energy rating and will also keep down the costs of heating and cooling in your home. The need for outdoor entertaining, play areas and pools are all considered. Exterior finishes are many and varied and styles can range from heritage to contemporary.
Interior
The internal layout is also a personal choice and can depend on if you need room for a family or you are “empty nesters” or a young couple with the view to expand. The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and family areas can vary according to your needs for now and in the future. The size of the kitchen can depend on the number of occupants and whether entertaining is an important factor. The inclusion of a home theatre, study, formal lounge, butler’s pantry and games room may be on your wish list and need to be included. The type of appliances, heating and cooling and any extras such as ducted vacuuming and spa baths are all part of the selections process. Once again there are many styles and finishes to choose from.
RESULTS
When completed, your home will be a reflection of your ideas and dreams. A home that will suit your needs for years to come. Gaston Developments take pride in the whole process from start to finish and we are the only ones that you will deal with, no middlemen or other supervisors. Special attention to details as well as listening to and understanding what you need is how we achieve the result in your dream home becoming a reality.
