Seven designer-decorated, fully-furnished luxury model residences are being showcased at Kitson & Partners Talis Park community in North Naples during the CBIA 2014 Multi-Site Parade of Homes that ends today. Visitors are invited to tour model homes by Distinctive Communities, Divco Construction Corp., Fox Custom Builders, Harbourside Custom Homes, Iron Star Luxury Homes and Sunwest Homes. The residences are open today from noon to 5 p.m.

Two of the models being showcased at Talis Park were named recipients of distinguished awards at the CBIAs Parade of Homes Awards event held on March 6. Fox Custom Builders Barlovento model in Talis Parks Brightling neighborhood was acknowledged with CBIAs Best Overall Construction and Design Award in its price category.

The 2,600 to 3,400-square-foot Park Homes in Brightling offer golf course, water and preserve views. Caribbean Colonial and Spanish Eclectic designs by Sunwest Homes and Fox are base-priced at $1.1 million and include three or four bedrooms, a study, formal dining rooms, island kitchens, spacious master suites and outdoor living areas with swimming pools.

The Barloventos 3,433-square-foot floor plan includes a great room, study, a formal dining room that opens to a garden and patio, an island kitchen and an outdoor living area with a covered lanai, pool, spa, an optional fireplace and outdoor kitchen and views of the fairways and greens of the communitys Greg Norman-Pete Dye designed golf course. The approach to the home features a motor court and a walled courtyard entry

The Barloventos transitional interior was designed by Kelley Bridwell and C. Chad Elkins of Clive Daniel Home. Their color palette includes neutral tones mixed with hints of gold and silver. Travertine flooring is featured in the main living areas. The entry opens to a grand hallway with an Emperador marble mosaic floor detail inlaid to match three quad-coffer ceiling details. An adjacent study features hardwood flooring with a reclaimed wood finish and a ceiling treatment that replicates the design in the hallway. A similar ceiling is found in the dining room where high-gloss applied molding is combined with mirrors to provide a stunning wall treatment.

The royal commission into the Rudd government's troubled home insulation program that resulted in the deaths of four young men will begin hearing evidence in Brisbane today.

Former Labor prime ministers Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard have been asked to provide documents to the Royal Commission into the Home Insulation Program and face the prospect of being called to appear in person before Commissioner Ian Hangar QC.

It is believed other senior Labor figures including current Opposition frontbencher Penny Wong have been contacted by the commission.

Read more about the men whose deaths are linked to the scheme, which was set up in 2009 as an economic stimulus measure to help ward off the effects of the global financial crisis.

Matthew Fuller was the first of the four young people who died working under the home insulation program.

He was 25 when he was electrocuted in a roof cavity in outer Brisbane in October 2009. His girlfriend, who was working alongside him, was badly burnt.

The young couple had been saving to move in together.

Matthew's father Kevin Fuller said his son had been laying ceiling insulation for less than a fortnight when he accidentally put a metal staple through aluminium foil and into a live electrical cable lying underneath.

"Matthew was a worker and knew that he could go and earn enough money to set up his future life," he said.

"On the day Matthew got killed, in the car was the application for Monique and Matt to move into a new rental place."
