Stephen Hunt Discusses the Home Designs of Oakford

Oakford by Grandfield Homes is one of Markham’s most highly anticipated luxury communities currently in the preconstruction phase. Newinhomes.com caught up with award-winning home designer Stephen Hunt of Hunt Design Associates to discuss the unique homes of Oakford.

At this year’s BILD Awards, Hunt Design Associates won in four different categories:

• Best New Home Design - semi or townhome under 1,500 sq. ft. for Paradise Homes’ Astoria model at Impressions

• Best New Home Design - single over 4,000 sq. ft. for Genview Homes’ Buckingham model at Kingsview Manors.

• Best New Home Design - semi or townhome over 1,500 sq. ft. for Fernbrook Homes’ Royal Oakville Club

• People’s Choice Award for Impressions by Arista, Fieldgate, and Paradise

Taking awards for the smallest home and largest home categories is a testament to Hunt Design’s versatility.

In addition to working with the best homebuilders in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Hunt Design has completed projects on the east and west coasts of Canada. Hunt is also a prized custom home designer, with stunning homes in the GTA’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, such as Bridal Path, Forest Hill, Hoggs Hollow, and downtown Oakville.

The designs of Oakford

Although Hunt has come a long way - his firm is now 40 strong - he is still very hands on, and he spearheaded the Oakford project, coming up with many outstanding detached home designs, ranging from 3,300 to more than 4,000 square feet.

“These homes feature soaring windows and open floorplans, ensuring an abundance of natural light, which makes for spacious and bright living,” said Hunt. “The main floors are centred around the kitchen and living room - they are the heart of the home - the plans are truly designed for family life.”

The use of high quality, low maintenance materials ensures that the homes of Oakford will stand the test of time, and will only rise in value over the coming years. Hunt’s custom-style really shines in the Oakford designs; there is an extensive variety of elevations, featuring brick, stone, and stucco, which will make for a vibrant streetscape.

“Subdivisions have a reputation of being bland, but at Oakford, each homeowner has their own presence. These timeless elevations speak to the value of the homes,” Hunt commented.
