On an elevated corner site above Taradale, in Napier's Mission Hills subdivision, Landmark Homes Hawke's Bay has opened a new Showhome that trades full Art Deco pastiche for something more relaxed. Clean lines, soft curves, and warm textures define the 231.6m² two-level home, where living, kitchen, and the master suite sit upstairs to make the most of the outlook. It's a home built around what Landmark Homes Hawke's Bay Sales Manager Kristy Portas calls a considered nod to Napier's design heritage, rather than a recreation of it.
Across the showhome's bathrooms, Newtech supplied the Boulevard vanity range in a Meadow Oak finish, paired with Casalino sanitaryware and Evoke, Ambience, and Polo accessories in gunmetal. It's a palette that echoes the home's own material story: warm timber, soft curves, and considered detailing throughout.
A Showhome Built on Curves
Mission Hills is one of Hawke's Bay's most talked-about new developments, sitting in the hills above Taradale with sweeping views over the region. Landmark Homes Hawke's Bay designed this Showhome specifically for its elevated corner site, giving the exterior strong street presence while softening it with curves and detailing that nod to Napier's Art Deco character without leaning on it too heavily.
That same instinct for curves and craft carries through into the bathrooms, where Newtech's Norah Curved vanities from the Boulevard range became a natural fit.
The Main Bathroom: Norah Curved Vanity in Meadow Oak
The main bathroom features a 1500mm Norah Curved wall hung double basin vanity, finished in Meadow Oak with a Felise Matte White and Reed internal colour, and fitted with Arlo 200mm handles in gunmetal. The Norah style is one of the newest additions to the Boulevard range, combining curved cabinetry with designer fluting for a softer, more sculptural take on the timber vanity.
Surrounding the vanity, the bathroom is finished with:
Every hardware finish across the room is gunmetal, tying the tapware, mirror, and accessories back to the handles on the vanity itself. It's the kind of consistent detailing that reads as considered rather than assembled piece by piece.
The ensuite: A Smaller Norah curved Vanity
Upstairs in the master suite's ensuite, a 900mm Norah Curved wall hung vanity continues the same material story on a smaller footprint. Finished in the same Meadow Oak with Felise Matte White and Reed internal colour, and fitted with an Arlo 350mm gunmetal handle, it gives the ensuite the same curved, fluted profile as the main bathroom without competing for space.
The Powder Room: Sodina Junior
For the smaller powder room, Newtech supplied a 500mm Sodina Junior wall hung vanity with a single right-hand-hinge door, finished in Meadow Oak with a Matte White internal colour and an Arlo 100mm gunmetal handle. Sodina is another style within the Boulevard range, offering a more compact, minimalist profile suited to smaller bathrooms and powder rooms where every centimetre counts.
"We didn't want to go full Art Deco." That single line from Landmark Homes Hawke's Bay sums up the whole approach to this Showhome, and it's exactly what Newtech's Boulevard range was chosen to deliver: curved, considered, and warm, without overstating itself.
Meadow Oak is one of Boulevard's timber finishes, and it's particularly suited to homes that want warmth without heaviness. Paired with gunmetal hardware, tapware, and accessories, it gives a bathroom a grounded, tactile feel that still reads as contemporary. It's a combination that's proving popular across new-build showhomes in New Zealand, where builders want a bathroom that photographs well but also feels genuinely liveable.
