"The Coventry is a unique project in Oakville," commented Hicks. "It meets the increasing demands for one floor living in a luxurious environment which is ideally located within the village core thus making walking to restaurants, shops and other amenities including the waterfront a simple and wonderful daily activity." The site which is adjacent to St. John's United Church presented The Hicks Partnership and its development partners with a very difficult site which demanded the highest level of creativity to accomplish the creation of a living environment that would meet the tests and demands of the market place. The luxury residences have semi private elevator access, extensive terrace areas, roof top gardens, and private parking spaces within immediate access into the building. "It meets the needs of the population in Oakville that are looking to reduce the size of their living environment and yet remain within the active urban core of the village" said Hicks. The Hicks Partnership is proud to be involved in the development of this project that is sure to win many awards for its unique `Designers of distinctive architecture'.

With a background in architecture, Ariel Muller of Ariel Muller Designs Inc. is a perfect addition to The Coventry `team' with his fervour for interior design.

Spaces by Ariel Muller Designs are transformed with artistry, personal attention, clear communication and meticulous care. As quoted in Lifestyles magazine, "We work as a boutique operation," Muller said. "We're not looking to grow or to expand for the sake of expanding. We're not looking to be a household name. What we are hoping for is that when there is a quality project available, the architect, builder, or real estate agent who is looking to refer will keep us in mind and will share with the client that we are one of the most capable, ethical, and integral interior design firms in the city." It's with this sense of dedication and expertise that Legend Homes knew Muller was a perfect fit for their project. Emphasizing the importance of a designer being called in early on a project, Muller shared his thoughts. "We come on board to work with the client, the builder, and the architect to help expedite the process and to make sure that the design integrity is being carried through," Muller explains. "The sooner we're involved, the sooner we can ensure that their lifestyle and functional concerns are being properly integrated in the design of their home. In many cases, it's difficult for a client to understand the feel of the space ­ it's just lines on a page," Muller said. Recognized as a distinguished and versatile design firm, their strength lays in a team environment. "Each of us brings something valuable to the table," Muller says, "and it's all about bringing the team together to deliver exceptional results."

"This project is so needed in the downtown core for the empty nester that wants something luxurious without the maintenance. It's rare to have a site in downtown Oakville that will offer the best of both worlds ­ distinctive custom built single-level luxury residences." This statement is most accurate when you consider that previously you had to look An inviting, luxurious master ensuite retreat created by Ariel Muller Designs Inc. outside of Oakville to find this type of alternate lifestyle living. Although there are new condos being built in Toronto that have the same or higher price point, only "The Coventry" can offer a collection of extraordinary and distinctive residences right in the core of historic downtown Oakville. For as long as there are consumers demanding the ultimate in luxury and exclusivity, Legend Homes will not disappoint. It's with the flair and the expertise of these individuals that makes "The Coventry" a pre-eminent project in Oakville. Legend Homes anticipates commencing construction this fall with residents moving in the following fall of 2008 and early spring 2009.
