Matapouri Smokey Grey Delight
By Hardwood by LMA Timber
On a challenging site above a popular bay, this dynamic family home has superb views that survey the coastline and the regenerating native bush around it.
This two story home has extensive wrap-around decking showcasing the views while also ensuring the owners have shelter whenever it’s needed. With a close connection to the outdoors, raw, natural materials are a key feature, form and materiality ensure that this home sits comfortably within the landscape and why the clients chose LMA Timbers Smokey Grey hardwood cladding.
A soaring roof line follows the natural slope of the land and enables views of the bush clad hills. Oversized eaves provide shade in the summer and allow the winter sun in. Warmth is stored in the exposed concrete floors and curving concrete spine wall. High clerestory louvres allow sea breezes to provide cross ventilation.
Expert crafting of timber, the expression of structure, cladding, lining and joinery are on display in a raw and unique way. Expansive garaging completes this ultimate family getaway.

About the
Professional
Passionate about sustainability, LMA Timber offers a superior selection of hardwood products tailored for the construction industry. We have collaborated carefully selected Australian Hardwood suppliers in Australia, all recipients of numerous awards for their commitment to delivering high-quality reclaimed and sustainable timber.
Established in 2017, our business originated from inspiration drawn from a Grand Designs episode featuring reclaimed Australian hardwood cladding. A subsequent investigation revealed that the main timber cladding options in New Zealand primarily consisted of high-maintenance softwoods (class 2 – 15 to 40 years naturally durable), such as cedar, larch, and thermally modified products. The discovered hardwood, distinguished by its superior performance, durability, low maintenance, and sustainable attributes, marked the beginning of our success story. Today, architects, designers, and builders widely regard it as their number one choice for not only cladding but structural beams, posts, decking, flooring amongst other hardwood products.
In October 2019 when LMA Timber joined forces with the Caldwell Group (AKA Trade Co), owners of ITM Dyers Road, VIP Frame and Truss amongst other businesses. With a combined experience of 40 years, this partnership enhances our market position, allowing us to provide unparalleled value and service to our customers. Regarded as being the largest and most trusted supplier of reclaimed / sustainably sourced Australian hardwoods, our reputation is firmly enforced by the prestigious projects we have been involved with around New Zealand
Our main warehouse along with purpose built showroom is based in Christchurch. This allows us to carry large volumes of stock (particularly cladding and decking) so that we can meet your projects needs in a timely fashion. Our second purpose built showroom is currently under construction and will be opened towards the end of April 2024. Additionally, we share a showroom in Auckland with High Performer Building where a sample of our products can also be viewed.
