We looked at the Catalina which is on display at Homeworld in Kellyville Sydney. It is on the web page titled www.homeworld.com.au however it is not on the Trident Homes website. For us the kitchen was the standout feature. It was enormous. Also, the sweeping staircase is very appealing. J. Re: Trident Homes 7Aug 26, 2007 7:14 pm gearel,
Yes, the kitchen is large. I like the idea of the five seater dining area at the end of the island bench. However, there is one big problem with the kitchen. The work triangle (sink, stove, fridge) is supposed to be between 4 to 6 m. For the Catalina it's 8.1 m Cheers, Casa Demolition August 2009, Construction Started September 2009, Completed December 2010 Re: Trident Homes 8Aug 28, 2007 2:36 pm Hi there Casa,
I like the dining section however the problem for me is the need for additional spaces when family are over. The kichen included a second small sink in the isalnd area so perhaps that justifies the distance? J.

This would resolve the work triangle distance issue. Actually this is a nice arrangement with a (food preperation) work triangle as well as a separate sink with, I assume, the dishwasher nearby.

Cant say I noticed the dishwasher location. I am currently living in an old 50's original which includes original kitchen and oven. I have to say I thought I would not be able to cope without a dishwasher but it actually has not been a problem even with five people in the house. Of course if we are entertaining it is an issue. In fact I have enjoyed the chance to stand and chat while doing the dishes.... then again I enjoy chatting anywhere. J. Ask for references and speak to them.
