Parade of Homes featuring the best of new homes in Manitoba, Canada

Two other Parade entries from Hearth show completely different style options. A bungalow on West Plains Drive in Sage Creek is a fresh take on mid-century modern, with acres of windows and a resort-style master bath, while the two- storey on Munnion Road in RidgeWood West is a crowdpleaser, with a large mudroom, a butler's pantry and enough dining space to seat 14 people. All three homes demonstrate Hearth's penchant for colouring outside the lines — but not too far out. "They're not what you would normally see, and there's nothing too crazy over- the-top," Milne says. "They're just beautiful, gorgeous houses that still fit in Manitoba and work for Manitoba clients." Frequent Parade visitors don't need a sign to identify builders' signature styles. Maric Homes is known for custom-milled wood features, acres of built-in storage and functional luxury in every show home, keeping in mind that somebody is going to buy each house. "You don't want to make it spectacular to look at and impossible to live in," says vice-president of architectural design Peri Maric. "We try to make it luxurious and full of style and in the moment, but we don't want to have it too flash-in-the-pan where the house looks dated in a few years, so we go for really classic, clean lines with a really modern twist." Another distinguishing characteristic is the level of customization the company provides. "I sit down with every single client with a blank piece of paper and start from absolute scratch," Maric says. "You can customize whatever you want with us … literally to the nail."
