The latest GJ Gardner showhome offers the best of everything – it joins a fan of available designs, accessible by a simple, rewarding process

For this bathroom, stone composite bath and basins in matt white are matched with Progetto Buddy tapware with an Aged Iron finish

This ground-floor glass dining table doubles up on the new home's outlooks – two large light wells also draw light in at this level

 Former All Black and Crusader Israel Dagg's stunning Christchurch family home stands as a testament to the enduring good looks of Dimond Roofing's Heritage Tray

Simple is best, runs the saying – well simple can certainly be the most dramatic as this bathroom with black-tiled shower stall attests

Landscaping for this home was designed to nestle into the surroundings – even the furniture in this al fresco setting celebrates curvaceous lines 

With an underwater ledge for both safety and sitting, an infinity edge, and glass fencing, this pool area is both safe and scenic

Twenty custom cylinder lights above the island and task lighting within the wall units have the task lighting covered for this kitchen

This island was so long the designer had to find a solution to book-match two slabs together – this was done around the structural post

Herringbone Black Mosaics in matt finish provide a feature in their own right and a dramatic backdrop to the Tom Dixon wall pendant in this bathroom

One minute this interior's bar area and accompanying seating are flying under the radar – next minute it's drinks and cushions all round 

Dark oak cabinetry & storage, brass and marble were served up for this entertainer’s home – responding to the request for the feel of a five-star hotel
