One of the most interesting rural barn-style houses by Create + Construct earned the company a Gold award at the 2020 Registered Master Builder of the Year Awards.
Visitors to this Clevedon home are greeted by a two-metre cedar pivot door, which is followed by full-height steel joinery and cedar ceilings as you walk through into the gallery to find a custom fireplace once inside.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom coastal haven is a striking masterpiece, and the natural beauty of the site was the main inspiration for this south-of-Auckland home.
The sharp lines of the cedar-clad exterior walls helped to shape the structure, providing a canvas for a home that looks truly in its element.
Pitched sarked ceilings up to 6.5m complete the form. Open-plan morning and evening living spaces showcase the architect’s vision and there’s plenty of space for entertaining and relaxing.
In the kitchen, elegance was paramount – a DBJ kitchen with custom cabinetry, brass detailing and a quartzite stone benchtop were installed. The kitchen is as much a centrepiece as a cooking-dining space, and a scullery with custom cabinetry sits behind it.
In the main ensuite, pistachio limestone tiles with a flamed, tumbled finish line the walls. The custom-built cabinetry with double-top mounted bowls over a slim stone top and aged brass tapware are timeless.
Working with designer John Irving to bring his vision for a timeless rural barn to life, the iconic rural setting is characterised by a panoramic view of the surrounding farm and the distant Kawakawa Bay.
In true Create Construct style, we set to work crafting a home inspired and complemented by the natural beauty of its location.
