The luxury homes sector is bucking the current trend and forging ahead with some outstanding new projects. Octagon Developments Ltd has recently released details of the stunning Canford Heights development in Dorset as it approaches completion.
This project comprises an exclusive gated development of four elegant and spacious apartments and a penthouse. The apartments are equipped with sun terraces and balconies from which to enjoy far reaching views across Poole Harbour and the adjoining Parkstone Golf Club.
The apartments are built to the very highest standard with a luxury feel and extraordinary attention to detail. As always with Octagon, care has been taken to plan for effortless entertaining and a wonderful sense of space in the living areas, with full sized and fully featured kitchens and utility areas. The spacious feel extends to the bedrooms and bathrooms which have been finished to the very highest standard, and beautifully accessorised, and will doubtless attract the most discerning clients.

Miele CM5100 Freestanding Coffee Machine
Thursday, October 7th, 2010
The compact CM5100 Barista freestanding coffee machine is Miele’s first countertop bean-to-cup appliance.
Much more compact than previous freestanding models, this unit has touch-controls and a scroll-through menu for its many brewing options. It makes the perfect cup by allowing selection of coffee strength and water quantity, with four cup size options. The coarseness of the grind can also be specified, and its 15bar pump is capable of producing a fine and creamy ‘crema’ layer.
The CM5100 Barista comes in white or black with stainless steel highlights and Miele have produced a short video to promote its launch which can be viewed here.
The CM5100 will be available in the UK from November 2010 with RRP starting at £999.

Training Dates for 2011 Now Released
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010With only a few remaining training dates available for 2010, we are working on our training schedule for 2011. Design Matters training can be accessed either via the Disabled Living Foundation in London, which runs our courses every year, or we can bring a trainer and assistant to a venue of your choice across England and Wales.
Our one-day training course entitled ‘The Basic Principles of Accessible Kitchen Design’ is aimed primarily at Occupational Therapists, as it assumes a certain level of understanding of various impairments requiring kitchen adaptation. However Case Managers, Architects and Personal Injury Solicitors might also be interested in becoming better acquainted with the issues surrounding kitchen design for their clients who are pursuing compensation claims to improve their independence and quality of life.
Adam Thomas is an acknowledged expert in the field of inclusive kitchen design and has many hundreds of successful designs to his credit for olderpeople, wheelchair users and people with a variety of conditions such as muscular dystrophy, muscular sclerosis, post-polio syndrome, acquired brain injury, arthritis, dementia and restricted growth. His ethos is simple: Kitchens can be fully accessible and attractive, and can be designed to last a lifetime. Find out more about the growing field of inclusive design, the fundamentals of accessible kitchen design, and the latest products and design techniques on our intensive one-day course.
We supply a lead trainer and assistant, and all training materials. You supply a maximum of 20 delegates, refreshments and a training venue. An extensive case study is included to bring the theory to life. New for 2011: Case study can be varied according to your training requirements.
Fees vary depending on the distance of the training venue from our headquarters in South Bucks. Contact Natalie Foskett our training coordinator for more information.
