Positioned on a secluded bay on Waiheke Island and wrapped in cedar, this home draws on the forms of rural sheds and barns.

Roofing and cladding are detailed as a rainscreen system using 28mm thick vertical shiplap bandsawn Western Red Cedar boards, coated to weather naturally to a soft silver-grey.

A timber-lined space adds texture, warmth, and refined detail.⁠

Our innovative hidden screw-fix system allows timber panelling to be invisibly fixed—flush to either timber ceiling battens or aluminium ceiling systems, achieving a clean, flawless finish with no visible fixings and straightforward installation.⁠

Choose from Cedar, Abodo, Larch, Hemlock, Yellow Cedar, American White Oak, Australian Oak, and Truwood®. Profile fixing specifications for each species are available for download → link in bio

A simple timber box form that appears to float—clad in a rainscreen system that neatly conceals the services. Integrated cedar shutters hide full-height windows, which slide into a concealed cavity behind the rainscreeen. Cedar soffit and ceiling panelling enhance the sense of being immersed in nature.
