Lincoln Family Estate - 2020 House Of The Year Winner
By Recycled Timbers
The design-driven brief for this large family home included the request for timber as a feature. As a result, the house is built around four large timber post-and-truss portals that have become its signature detail. The other request was to create a home for entertaining. The response is a U-shaped design that embraces an outdoor living area. Inside, there are two open fires, an entertainer’s kitchen and a media room with projector and bar. The indoor barbecue opens out to the spacious deck.
The Australian hardwood timbers used in this project have been recycled from wharfs and bridges around New Zealand from structures 100+ years old! Using these type of recycled hardwoods creates a unique feature and deep character in the family home. The beams have been sand blasted to remove loose debris, expose the grain, leaves a course character-rich uniform finish

Our Products
Our stock of Australian hardwood timbers have been recycled from various wharfs and bridges around New Zealand – some of these structures have been 100+ years old! Using these type of recycled hardwoods creates a unique feature and deep character in your home and is something that cannot compare to new timber. We have a huge range of stock in our Oamaru yard, and have the ability to resaw custom-milled options to suit your specific requirements. To embrace the one of a kind character and overall aesthetic, hardwood can be either left in its raw state, resawn, water blasted, wire-brushed or sand blasted. See Products Page for more info.
The Benefits of Recycled Timber
Using recycled timber gives new life to historic materials, making it an applauded sustainable choice. It adds value, character, and a touch of history to your project. As recycled timbers are rare and not something that you can simply pick up from your local hardware store, we are here to make sourcing pieces possible.
