RK Residents

Crafted largely from weathered timber and light, sand-coloured materials, this home imitates its native surrounds whilst reflecting the neighbouring vernacular in form. The pale pine cladding is perfectly complemented by the lightness of COLORSTEEL® Gull Grey across the stretched hip roof form, creating a wide, low slung profile and bringing a minimalist yet natural feel to the home, in perfect balance with its neighbours alongside and the driftwood-littered beach in front. The exterior roofing also helped provide inspiration for the interior of the home, with exposed beams of a vaulted macrocarpa-clad ceiling reflecting the COLORSTEEL® roof in a tray profile to create a sense of brightness, volume and release when you step inside. “This roof structure was integral in pursuing a highly unified exterior, as it neatly encompasses the garage and the dwelling, creating a sense of continuity and calm in keeping with the landscape at its edges.” - Thomas Seear-Budd. The elegant simplicity of the COLORSTEEL® Gull Grey expertly blends the macrocarpa and limestone exterior of this home, while downpipes and flashings are all skilfully detailed and concealed to enhance the idea of a distilled piece of architecture.
