A Grand Design where perfection is in the details
All Grand Designs start with a big idea. This new build in the Martinborough wine country north of Wellington was the product of meticulous research and consideration of every last detail by the owners, the Roach family. The concept was to contrast the rural setting of the house with a clean and simple black and white aesthetic. The black is provided by shiplapped Japanese charred timber and the white by Oamaru Stone in a range of sizes and textures as a ‘negative image’ of the timber work.
On-site at Oamaru Stone’s Parkside Quarry, Operations Manager Dustin King cut smooth-faced stone into a range of depths, widths and heights to complement the irregularly sized timber boards. Oamaru stone also features inside the house where it adds a feeling of warmth and continues the black-and-white theme, contrasting with the black walnut cabinetry.
