True Oak Roof & Wall Cladding. Award Winning Back Country House. Puhoi
In keeping with the theme of celebrating work by our clients here’s a bit of a throwback to a roof we did on a pretty awesome project for Iconic Homes.
Designed by David Maurice of LTD Architectural Design Studios, and built by Iconic Homes, this project was the National, and Regional (Auckland) Winner of the 2017 ADNZ/Resene Architectural Design Awards for Residential New Home between 150m² and 300m².
Swift Roofing installed Galvanised True Oak profile long run sheets to the roof and some wall areas. Site access was fun, but the teams at Roofing Industries and Roofing Accessories took in stride.
Time to finish with a quote from a LTD Architectural post that best encapsulates the project:
'Located on a secluded bush-clad site this house plays on the uniquely nz typology of the back country hut. The spaces are open and shared as opposed to enclosed and separate. The experience is one of enhanced connection with each other, and of an enhanced connection to the surrounding environment. Extensive use of locally sourced bandsawn macrocarpa inside and out, passive heating /ventilation and high performance insulation make the house of low impact environmentally. Rough hewn natural materials tie the house effortlessly into its setting, while galvanised corrugated iron is used to strengthen the hut aesthetic.'
Pretty cool.
