All the homes in the Woodward’s towers will have a gas cooktop and electric wall oven from AEG under a microwave and hood fan from Panasonic.
The LG fridge is slightly smaller than usual and less deep, but comes with a bottom freezer.
AEG will also supply the dishwasher; Samsung, the stacking washer and dryer.
Eggersmann, a German company, will supply the cabinetry in kitchen and bathroom. Stone slab will top counters in kitchen and bathroom.
Most master suite bathrooms will be four-piece affairs, with a walk-in shower separate from the tub the fourth piece.
All bathrooms will have a flooring of 12-by-24 inch porcelain tiles.
Interior designer Michelle Counihan specified blue glass for the feature wall in the show home kitchen and green in the bathroom. The other colours from which buyers may choose are grey, red and orange.
By limiting the choice of interior features — cabinetry a what-you-see-is-what-you get example — the interior design team at Woodward’s was able to offer better-quality finishes, like European-sourced cabinetry.
“You can go bold or more minimal or spa-like,” Counihan says of the consequences of selecting one colour over another.
“By having a neutral palette [for the major items in a home] it remains a timeless design and creates a basic palette people can add colour to through art and accessories.”
