Extract: “Nestled on a rural, waterfront location North West of Auckland is the Kaipara House designed by Noel Lane Architects, senior architect Tom Rowe. Conceived as low-lying bach to empathise with its expansive setting, the home is finished with natural materials including cedar weatherboard cladding and hand-split western red cedar shakes for the shingle roof. Internally, honed granite and basalt are used together with oiled oak flooring and a stained cedar TGV ceiling. The Arclinea kitchen features an island that allows the cook take full advantage of the water view while entertaining guests.”
