PRESIDENT’S AWARD
Contemporary meets country in the Kenzie 26 Award-winning home features stunning design elements
THE PRESIDENT’S Award is special recognition of a home that combines affordability with quality workmanship and innovation. In addition to achieving top marks in the standard judging criteria, the construction cost must not exceed $350,000 making it a home every Queenslander can aspire to. Winning the award this year is Brighton Homes’ Kenzie 26.
This three-bedroom home is perfect for those wanting to start a family or for downsizers. And either way, it’s certainly suited to those who love to entertain. The design offers a private entertainment room at the front with large windows opening to natural light and gathering warmth all year round. With an open living and family room in the middle and an activities room towards the rear, the Kenzie may be a slightly
smaller design, but it doesn’t like to miss out, using each and every space to full advantage. Dark charcoal timbers have been teamed up with warm, rustic tones and hints of burnt orange and olive greens in this super stylish single storey home. The raked ceiling in the entertainment area creates height and extra lighting, with four large skylights making the most of this central part of the home. With this space connecting to the outdoor living, it’s the perfect area for everyone to gather. The stunning concrete kitchen island bench gives the open plan kitchen living and dining area a contemporary, yet rustic feel inspired by the charm of old Australia. The accommodation zone is at the rear of the home and offers a bedroom wing for privacy and retreat. Bedrooms two and three are separated by a shared bathroom while the master suite offers an ensuite and walk-in robe. A beautifully created design, that is just enough for the everyday family. The Kenzie 26 is on display in Arise, Rochedale.
