Pacific Lakes Retirement Village - The Lake House
By Hardwood by LMA Timber
This brand-new retirement village is a significant build happening within Papamoa, comprising of accessible villas, bowling green, and a spectacular communal building called The Lakehouse.
This huge project will deliver 220 Villas, 30 Townhouses, and several large commercial buildings which is expected to be complete by 2025. Construction commenced in 2019, and by early 2022 - despite pandemic lockdowns, labour shortages, and material delays - over 120 Villas, a bowling green, a man-made lake, and The Lakehouse; a stunning space for residents to relax, dine, and socialise has been completed.
Designed by one of New Zealand's leading architects Sumich Chaplin, The Lakehouse sits partially over a man-made lake, and uses reclaimed natural wood products to enhance its earthy tones. These wood products have been reclaimed from the likes of power-poles, warehousing / wharf timbers and have been repurposed to form an incredible structure that is both elegant and rustic in design.

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.
