A picturesque natural environment is reflected in this stunning New Zealand lodge style home. The extension offered the opportunity to lift the entire home into a more architectural design, with the addition of oversized timber columns adding to the big feel to a home with large bones. The seamless indoor-outdoor connection is boosted with a custom two-sided fireplace, ensuring relaxed resort-style entertainment. Satin-finish blackbutt timber flooring, natural rock finishes and use of dark charcoal as an accent, create warmth in the home’s ample spaces.

Natural marble is showcased in the beautiful kitchen, with a luscious integrated blackbutt timber table. The dark charcoal used throughout the home is repeated in the scullery, highlighting the vibrant natural vista beyond. Elegant timber tiles and custom joinery in the exquisite master ensuite capture an earthy, modern design, while contemporary textured tiles refresh the various other bathrooms.

Smart design solutions included creating a timber casement bi-fold opening, connecting the upper and lower levels and adding interest on the otherwise expansive wall.  The overhaul of the poolroom and laundry included all custom cabinetry and finishes, colour selection and space planning to ensure efficient use of the large spaces.
