SNG | MOONHILL RISE
Moonhill Rise is a remarkable development by Sovereign Network Group (SNG) set in the East Devon village of Broadclyst. Comprising a landmark collection of 33 two, three and four bedroom houses available with Shared Ownership, Moonhill Rise is the first development to be built to SNG’s new standard of homes, designed to increase sustainability and contribute to the wellbeing of residents. Designed to appeal to first time buyers, SNG collaborated with global brand and buyer favourite, IKEA, on the three bedroom show home at Moonhill Rise. Marking IKEA’s first show home install outside of London, plot one has been kitted out using budget-friendly furnishings, showcasing how buyers can furnish their home on a realistic budget. Further enhancing the customer experience, SNG placed QR codes on IKEA’s feature items, providing an accessible way for buyers to replicate the look in their own homes.
HYDE NEW HOMES | WHITSTABLE HEIGHTS
When Hyde New Homes planned the launch of the Theodore Court apartments at its popular development of Whitstable Heights near to the North Kent coast, the storytelling needed to consider the challenges a typical first time buyer faced in today’s market. This spacious two bedroom, two bathroom show apartment, available through Shared Ownership and priced at £70,000 for a 25% share, needed to display an interior design that first time buyers could easily replicate themselves or complement using their own personal pieces. Paired with a modern specification, and striking the balance between aspiration and affordability, the interior look was designed using accents of summer oranges and light blues to reflect its coastal location. With a total budget of under £10,000, all the furniture, soft furnishings, paint and accessories were sought through high street retailers, meaning customers could easily recreate the look and feel of a show home without breaking the bank.
L&Q AT KIDBROOKE VILLAGE
L&Q is delivering much-needed affordable housing in the sought-after Royal Borough of Greenwich, with one, two, and three bedroom Shared Ownership homes at L&Q at Kidbrooke Village. To showcase the full potential of the larger- than-average 990 sq ft three bedroom show home, L&Q briefed Haus Interiors to demonstrate how a first time buyer could furnish the space affordably, using pieces from well-known brands they could easily source themselves – from Asda to Dunelm. Styled to highlight the home’s light-filled interiors, the show home features clever design elements that won’t break the bank, offering inspiration for buyers furnishing their own apartments. Colour choices were essential. The design has pops of colour, designed to elevate each room – an effect that can easily be achieved on a budget. Clearly showing the impact of a unique, well balanced show home, 100% of the three bedroom apartments in the current phase have been sold since.
