If there’s one single thing that will catch
the attention of potential home buyers, it’s
a great kitchen.
The design team at Mike Greer Homes
recognises the importance of equipping
the company’s show homes with kitchens
that combine eye-catching aesthetics with
unparalleled functionality.
To this end, Mike Greer Homes has
chosen to feature Smeg appliances in its
show homes, including three brand new
homes in Canterbury.
Director Mike Flutey says these homes

target three different market sectors:
medium, medium-high and high-end.
Each home is equipped with predominantly Smeg appliances from collections
that are matched to the house.
“The high-end home, for example,
features top-of-the line appliances by
Smeg and Baumatic, including the Smeg
90cm freestanding cooker, which is the
centrepiece in the kitchen.”
Flutey says the company chose Smeg
because it was impressed with the quality
of the Italian design and manufacture.
