Maddren Showhome – A Showcase of Style and Security with ASSA ABLOY

Challenge

When designing the House of Illusions, Maddren Homes set out to create a showhome that would push the boundaries of architectural style while maintaining superior functionality and long-term durability. A key challenge was sourcing hardware that not only met the high design standards of the home but also offered the performance, reliability, and user experience today’s homeowners expect.

Another challenge Maddren often sees in client builds is the overwhelming number of hardware choices available. Homeowners are looking for options that align with their personal style but also need durable products that won’t date or deteriorate with time. Security, too, is a growing concern—especially solutions that are keyless, smart, and easy to manage for families and staff.

Solution

Maddren partnered with ASSA ABLOY to specify a complete hardware package featuring Lockwood internal hardware and Yale external locking systems.

The Lockwood Vivid range was selected for internal spaces, thanks to its clean lines, versatile finishes, and premium feel. PVD Satin Brass and Gunmetal finishes provided the designer with environmentally friendly, hardwearing options that enhanced the home’s modern look while offering longevity. Features like Lockwood’s minimal privacy pin added subtle but functional touches that contribute to a sleek and seamless interior.

Externally, Yale’s Assure SL smart lock with pull handle brought cutting-edge convenience to the home. Maddren utilised features such as construction PIN codes for tradies, which could later be updated for staff and eventual homeowners—simplifying access management at each phase. Homeowners benefit from keyless entry and one-touch locking, improving day-to-day usability and peace of mind.

Importantly, both Lockwood and Yale hardware complemented the showhome’s architectural vision. The exterior hardware, in particular, maintained the home’s clean lines and layered textures without distraction—demonstrating how functionality and style can coexist beautifully.

Result: A sophisticated, secure showhome with hardware that looks great, performs effortlessly, and withstands the test of time. As Maddren puts it, “These are trusted brands that bring lasting quality and style to every home.”
