Dressed in black

The finest details have been covered in the completion of a new Waioroi Road, Tauranga home with even the plumbing outlet pipe carefully painted in a custom colour matched to the clay tiles on the roof. This painstaking attention to detail has been recognised by peers with the designer and builder earning ADNZ and Master Builder Association accolades.

Exterior Linea weatherboards gleam in a coat of Resene Lumbersider Black finished with a protective coat of Resene Sun Defier to provide added protection against the ravages of the sun joined by a white Resene Lumbersider trim for a clean contrast. This striking colour palette would not have been possible with traditional weatherboards as heat absorption into the dark hue would likely cause warping of a natural timber substrate.

The palette lightens through the interior to hues of Resene Linen (green edged neutral), Resene Double Linen (greened neutral), Resene Tana (stony grey) and two special colour matches developed for the homeowner, all painted in Resene SpaceCote Low Sheen waterborne enamel. Trims and doors are finished in Resene Lusta-Glo semi-gloss enamel cleverly colour matched to the joinery for a seamless connection between these elements.

Striking on the outside and relaxed on the inside, this house is easy to call home.
