Buying a home is an emotional decision. Not only is a property purchase one of life’s major investments, your home provides a safe haven to relax, recuperate and share with your loved ones. Walking into a potential new home can immediately engender that intangible feeling of romance, particularly if it has been designed by Kate Walker, founder and director of KWD.
Explains Danckert Real Estate Director, Alex Corradi,” When you step into a KWD-designed home, with Kate Walker at the helm, you are instantly enveloped in a space that feels so incredibly special. She creates a sense of home, a feeling of belonging, a desire to sit, rest and repose. It’s a visceral response that goes beyond furniture, fixtures and colour palettes. Kate knows instinctively how to make a house a home.”
Beyond the joy of living in the home, purchasing a KWD home is an investment. Adds Alex, “Kate’s designs stand the test of time, from the aesthetic to the finishes, from the space planning to the architectural features, every element has been carefully considered and purposefully thought through, in the context of the structural integrity of the home, and the lifestyle of potential occupants.”
“The qualities of a KWD home fill the senses, from the way the light filters through the home to the site lines Kate creates in every space to the textural and tonal hard finishes. Every single detail matters. And when potential buyers walk into a KWD-designed home, they feel it, they understand it, and they want it,” he says.
From the modern farmhouse aesthetic of ‘Beechwood’ to the Caribbean-Colonial inspired ‘Biscayne’ to the coastal contemporary character of ‘Avalon’, Kate’s design essence has made its mark on the Mt Martha residential landscape. “Kate has genuinely lifted the property value in the area because of the way she has elevated the level of design she has introduced to the beautiful coastal location. She instilled a sense of seaside romance that homeowners want a part of.”
Importantly, engaging the right designer like Kate can elevate the value of a home beyond all expectations. Having her name associated with the design of a home immediately increases the interest in the property, and stimulates record-breaking prices.
If you are considering purchasing a home or embarking on a new build or renovation, engaging Kate from the get-go would be the best investment you could make for your home. Says Alex, “The most successful results occur when she has been involved from the start – even prior to visiting a draftsperson or architect. She possesses an innate ability to visualise how to transform a home, from the space planning to the roof line to the tile layout on a bathroom floor. She has the foresight to envision what a home can be, and she creates a feeling in a home like no other.”
“Mt Martha property values have grown exponentially over the last three or four years. The affluence in the area is evident for all to see. This beautiful coastal suburb is very much on the map as a more than a holiday getaway, it’s a destination for some of the Mornington’s Peninsula finest and most luxurious properties.”
