A modern rural home taking shape in Mangawhai, New Zealand, designed to sit comfortably within its surrounding landscape.
The main black board-and-batten home features clean lines and a simple, grounded material palette that complements the rural setting. Nearby, a bold red corrugated-metal barn adds a touch of character and contrast, creating a strong connection between the two buildings.
Together, the home and barn form a relaxed rural retreat – practical, understated and thoughtfully designed for its surroundings. Currently under construction, this project is a celebration of simple forms, honest materials and modern country living.
