A choice in builder, a choice in home, and a choice in lifestyle. If you choose a Paradise Home there are even more great things to choose from. From finishes to design, you get to decide how you want your dream home to be built. One of the biggest choices you\u2019ll make is whether you want a classic or a contemporary home. Both are stunning in their own right, but which speaks to your aesthetic, lifestyle, and perspective more? We\u2019ll help explain the difference to make your decision a little easier. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Classic<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2127\" src=\"http:\/\/paradisedevelopments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/classic.png\" alt=\"classic\" width=\"700\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paradisedevelopments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/classic.png 700w, https:\/\/paradisedevelopments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/classic-300x160.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our classically designed homes take inspiration from some of Ontario\u2019s most rich residential heritage. We looked to the Georgian, Victorian, and other classically styled homes that were popular over a century ago to inform our process. There are many traditional exterior features and design elements that make our \u2018Classic Series\u2019 of homes true classics:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Architectural centre massing brings the focal point to the middle of the elevation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Box-out windows<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Windows with brick accent surrounds<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Classical columns placed to emphasize the front entry<\/span><\/li>\n<li>C<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">asement windows with horizontal grill pattern<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soldier course brick banding<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earthtone tumble-finish stone veneer<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symmetrical Georgian-inspired garage doors<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Contemporary<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2128\" src=\"http:\/\/paradisedevelopments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/progressive.png\" alt=\"progressive\" width=\"700\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paradisedevelopments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/progressive.png 700w, https:\/\/paradisedevelopments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/progressive-300x154.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While we understand many people love nothing more than a traditional home, others have a more contemporary sensibility. Some people think of contemporary homes are&nbsp;cold, empty, concrete boxes, but not us. Our contemporary homes are warm and inviting, but boast modern design details in both their architectural and design elements. For those who love contemporary design touches, our \u2018Progressive Series\u2019 of homes are perfect. Here are some distinctive features and finishes to look out for on our contemporary homes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crafted wall projections create depth within the architectural form to highlight and emphasize feature windows<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimalistic casement window absent of window grills highlights the functionatly of \u2018less is more\u2019<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extra tall transom windows for higher ceilings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transom windows strategically placed to utilize interior space<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earthtone colour bricks<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smooth linear stone veneer accentuates the architectural horizontal lines<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contemporary linear-shaped garage door styles<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/whitbymeadows.com\/index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">visit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the community page and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/paradisedevelopments.com\/residential\/whitby-meadows\/register.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">register <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so you get all the updates leading to&nbsp;our public opening on October 29th at 10am!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best thing about our Whitby Meadows community is that you have a choice.
