Rokino Road - Taupo, New Zealand

Nestled in Taupo’s Hilltop suburb this high specification build features high ceilings and plenty of natural light.

Built as a show home by Design Builders Taupo, this house is no standard build. Abodo’s Vulcan Cladding with Sioo:x finish has been used extensively to the exterior of the home, in addition to interior feature walls, even the front door.

A spacious “all weather” barbeque area, also clad and lined in Vulcan Cladding, is waiting to greet home owners looking to cook and eat outside.

Design Builders have managed to achieve a point of difference by utilising the WB10 profile in random width, combined with the scandi-style Sioo:x finish, which will gradually silver to a soft low maintenance patina.

In a painstaking weathering process, the Design Builders craftsmen pre-weathered the Vulcan internal timber feature walls and garage doors, giving a natural feel that flows from exterior to interiors.
