The Aspire Model: Small Space, Big Impact

The Aspire model is a masterclass in making small spaces feel expansive and luxurious. Despite its compact footprint, this model home reads remarkably large, thanks to strategic design choices that optimize every square foot. K. Hovnanian® Homes has crafted a community that blends small-town charm with modern comforts, and our design team leaned into the Loft Coastal vision to create interiors that are both inviting and innovative. This style draws from natural palettes, incorporating elements like organic shapes in furniture and lamps, textured pillows, oversized arrangements, neutral throws, decorative woven elements, and free-standing mirrors to evoke a serene coastal-modern atmosphere.

The model served multiple purposes: several rooms were transformed into sales offices to showcase the community’s potential, while another was dedicated as a “Looks room” to highlight K. Hovnanian’s curated interior design packages—Loft, Farmhouse, and Classic.These packages, each with subcategories that correspond to predetermined finish options for the home, include:

  • LOFT: LOFT NEUTRAL, LOFT COLOR, LOFT BLACK & WHITE, LOFT COASTAL, LOFT COLLECTIVE
  • FARMHOUSE: FARMHOUSE TRADITIONAL, FARMHOUSE EUROPEAN, FARMHOUSE INDUSTRIAL, FARMHOUSE COASTAL, FARMHOUSE FRESH
  • CLASSIC: CLASSIC TRADITIONAL, CLASSIC BOHEMIAN, CLASSIC MODERN, CLASSIC COASTAL, CLASSIC RESTORATION

For the Aspire at The Pines model, we specifically implemented the Loft Coastal subcategory, bringing its essence to life through curvaceous furniture, bubbly lamps, striking silhouettes, soft abstract art, pedestal accent tables, substantial “tree trunk” dining tables, and cane furniture. These spaces not only demonstrate the versatility of the floorplans but also provide builders and developers with a tangible example of how intentional design can elevate a home’s appeal.

Designing the Heart of the Home: The Great Room

The great room in the Aspire model is a standout feature, designed to be the heart of the home. We focused on creating an open-concept space that feels airy and cohesive, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. By incorporating K. Hovnanian’s exclusive Loft Coastal Look, we selected high-quality materials and cohesive color palettes to craft a space that feels both timeless and contemporary. Features like curvaceous sofas, bubbly lamps for layered lighting, and soft abstract art on the walls align with the style’s emphasis on relaxed, light-filled environments and natural materials, allowing the great room to adapt effortlessly to different buyer preferences.

Our design approach emphasized flow and functionality. Strategic furniture placement, layered lighting, and carefully chosen textures create a welcoming atmosphere that makes the great room feel much larger than its actual square footage. For builders and developers, this is a prime example of how a well-designed great room can serve as a selling point, appealing to buyers who crave open, versatile spaces for modern living.

A Primary Bedroom That Feels Like a Retreat

The primary bedroom in the Aspire model is another highlight, designed to be a serene oasis for homeowners. We prioritized comfort and elegance, incorporating spacious layouts and thoughtful details that elevate the space. From plush textures and calming neutral palettes to abstract accents and natural materials inspired by the Loft Coastal style, the primary bedroom feels like a high-end retreat, even within the model’s compact footprint. Features like ample natural light, smart storage solutions, and K. Hovnanian’s customizable Looks ensure that this space feels both luxurious and practical, with elements like textured pillows and subtle coastal influences adding to the relaxed, modern vibe.

Why Aspire at The Pines Stands Out

Located in the heart of Citrus County, Aspire at The Pines offers new-construction single-family homes with floorplans ranging up to 2,350 sq. ft., with options for up to 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a 3-car garage. Nestled along the Rainbow and Withlacoochee Rivers, Dunnellon provides a tranquil backdrop with easy access to outdoor adventures like kayaking, hiking, and exploring Rainbow Springs State Park. The community’s proximity to employment hubs like Ocala and The Villages, combined with its small-town charm, makes it an ideal choice for buyers seeking a balance of nature and convenience.

As interior designers, we see Aspire at The Pines as a canvas for creating homes that resonate with today’s buyers. The model’s ability to serve as both a sales tool and a showcase of design potential highlights the value of collaboration between builders and design firms. By transforming compact spaces into functional, beautiful homes, we help developers attract buyers who are looking for move-in-ready properties that feel personalized from day one.

Partnering with Builders and Developers

We understand the challenges and opportunities that come with new home construction. Our goal is to partner with builders and developers like K. Hovnanian® Homes to create model homes that not only sell but also inspire. The Aspire model demonstrates how a small space can be transformed into a showstopper, with versatile rooms that serve multiple purposes during the sales process and interiors that appeal to a broad audience.
