New 350m² four bedroom home in the foothills above Cambridge. Nestled in the hills east of Cambridge, this family home has been designed with full input from the client, to realise their vision of a wool-shed style home.

The house has been clad in horizontal bevel-backed macrocarpa, and recycled galvanised corrugate iron sourced from many old wool-sheds and barns. Designed to settle in with existing farm buildings in a prominent position, on the knoll of a hill overlooking their farm and greater Waikato basin. Spectacular views are enjoyed from every nook, with the best from the portico and believe it or not the walk-in shower! Watch the homeowners testimonial for this project here

DESIGING LIVING SPACES – A PASSION:
I'm Rob Camden, an Architectural Designer and Director of MAUNGA DESIGNS.

I have a passion for the outdoors – from Mountains to Sea. Spent mountaineering in NZ and South America, Scuba diving and instructing in NZ, Australia, Mozambique, Thailand and Myamar. This passion for the outdoors and the immense pleasure and good vibes experienced in nature, has motivated me to incorporate good design within the immediate environment, and to bring those same feelings inside.

I'm originally from the Wairarapa, but have spent a sizeable chunk of my time overseas, and the South Island.

In 2015 I relocated to Waikato working in the Architectural Designer field. After starting out in commercial drafting and design and working mainly in the residential field I became qualified with a National Diploma in Architectural Technology and was proudly awarded the Gordon Hassett Award - Top Student Year 1 Built Environment and the Chow Hill Award – Top Graduating Student. I am a Licensed Building Practitioner – Design 1 (Registered with MBIE), and registered with Architectural Designers New Zealand - ADNZ
