With Kanuka trees providing the backdrop for this home, dark stained cedar and metal cladding were obvious choices to blend into the natural setting. The brief was to provide a family home with separate zones for children and parents to relax/entertain. Bedrooms are also separated, the children having their own wing complete with ensuite. Open plan kitchen/dining/living with direct access to outdoor entertaining decks ensures that this home ticks all the boxes.
