Typhoon Spouting

Whangaparaoa refresh

30 March, 2022 by

When Ian Thrush from Parallel Architecture embarked on renovations to his family’s Whangaparaoa home, he certainly didn’t expect it to turn into an almost full re-build!

The original weatherboard home was built in 1950’s and sits on a half share of the 1,100 square metre cross lease site.

Over the years the old house had many additions and alterations that ended up causing a really disorganised floor plan” says Ian.

Originally, the intention was to achieve more storage space and update the bathroom. However, over time the scope changed and grew – as it does! Six years later, the 110 square metre footprint remains unchanged, however they have corrected the design flaws via a new layout and flow. All but two rooms were moved, and they now have a well-organised 3-bedroom family home.

The most challenging part of the build was living in the house while renovating. Not to mention having a baby over that time also! Ideally, we would have had an empty house to work on but that is not always possible, so you just do what’s needed to make it work!” Ian says.

Ian chose Marley Stratus Design Series® Typhoon® spouting and RP80® downpipes as they’re available in Grey Friars® to match the roof, and because the half-round profile has excellent rainfall capacity. It’s also particularly hard wearing in a coastal location, with great UV resistance and a 15-year guarantee.

Being in Whangaparaoa, the property is on tank water, therefore Ian also opted to install a Marley Curve® leaf diverters on the RP80® downpipes. The Curve® removes leaves and debris to protect tanks and stormwater systems. Curve® is very easy to install and low maintenance, capturing over 99% of water with a clean screen.

The family went for the Dynex PALLISIDE® traditional profile in slate to create a character home. The double light-grey boards look great with white box corners and window facings, to emulate the traditional timber look. The overall outcome is clean lines for a modern, yet characterful home.

Ian chose Dynex Soffit to replace the existing soffit as it looks great, is low maintenance, and as with PALLISIDE® weatherboards, never needs to be painted. It also adds to the classic style of the home.

Ian upgraded from single glazing to double glazing, which has been great. That combined with a wrapped and insulated home has made a world of difference to the family’s quality of life.

The interior of the home has a very neutral palette of Resene Quarter Thorndon Cream, Black White ceilings, and timber accents to bring a touch of nature in. The bathroom and laundry have a classic look with vertical tongue and groove boards on the lower half of the walls.

Sensor lights were installed in the hall and under the vanity, which is great at night for using the bathroom or checking on the kids. Nice soft light at shin level, rather than a ceiling light in your face!

The best aspect of our new home is that it is truly low maintenance. And we also love the indoor-outdoor flow” says Ian.

As both architectural designer and homeowner, Ian and his family are really happy with their newly refreshed home, and are pleased they chose the Marley Stratus Design Series® Typhoon® spouting and RP80® downpipes for the low maintenance, stylish finish they were after.

Pauanui escape

14 March, 2022 by

When the Mullan family were looking to build a holiday home, they wanted to create a sanctuary to escape to, a place to unwind and relax and something completely different from their house in Auckland. Once they stepped inside the Lockwood show home in Kopu, they knew a Lockwood would be just perfect!

Thanks to Coastwood Homes, the build took only 6 months, including moving the existing house, and the Mullan family couldn’t be happier with the stunning result.

Before embarking on the build, the existing bach had to be removed. The biggest challenge on the site proved to be the ground.

The sand base was found to be incredibly challenging when trying to lay the piles so Israel and Katie from Coastwood Homes had to roll in a gigantic vacuum to clean out the pile holes and then 80 piles had to be laid.

Once this was done, the job went very smoothly. The Coastwood Homes team provided the Mullan’s daily updates and photos so they could see the home take shape.

The Mullan’s knew they wanted to keep the size of the home at around 140m² with three bedrooms and two bathrooms and had their hearts set on a sleek and modern black kitchen to contrast against the blonded timber of the interior.

A café-style kitchen and separate media room/lounge was a must, as well as laundry, separate toilet, and excellent storage space.

They spent time sketching and playing around with the interior layout then passed it to Israel to weave his magic, adding his flair and creativity to develop the design.

In the bathrooms, a tiled feature wall was key. Subway tiles were something they had considered, though they were open to ideas. The finished result of white textured tile is a twist on the classic look which looks stunning against the timber and black fittings.

Otherwise, we wanted a relaxed, pared back, beach inspired look and feel – we have tried to stay true to natural colours with our furnishings – blues, greens, browns, to bring the outdoors in.

The exterior was inspired by a Lockwood show home in Thames and features a quarter sawn pine exterior, on Lockwood’s solid wall system. It is painted in Dulux X10 in black.

Having had a lot of experience building homes on the coast, Coastwood Homes knew that salt spray can cause continual problems with soffits, steel spouting brackets and leaking joins. Their solution was to turn to local companies whose products are specifically made to stand up to New Zealand’s harsh conditions.

Coastwood Homes chose to partner with Marley for Stratus Design Series® Typhoon® spouting and RP80® downpipes in Black. With Dynex for their Dynex Soffit in white.

The low maintenance aspect of the Marley spouting was our initial appeal; it fits with the Lockwood brand of low maintenance products. The fact that it is also a New Zealand brand appeals a lot as well!

The fact that the spouting is available in black to match the roof and house colour made it an easy choice to go with Marley Typhoon® spouting. There is no need to paint anything to match and it is much more durable in a salty beach environment.

To contrast their Marley Stratus Design Series® Typhoon® Black spouting they used Dynex Soffit. Another long lasting, low maintenance New Zealand made product.

The Mullan’s also wanted to take a sustainable approach to their home. Marley and Dynex are both part of Meridian Energy’s Certified Renewable Energy programme aiming for 100% renewable electricity by 2025. Lockwood homes are built from renewable pine trees, so the whole home is both sustainable and renewable.

Since the build has been completed the Mullan family have enjoyed many weekends entertaining family and friends in their incredible holiday house. Covered outdoor spaces and decks connecting the front and back of the home provide the perfect place to relax.

We love sitting on the back deck under the enormous gable, completely protected from the elements but feeling completely immersed in the outdoors. We are totally rapt with every room in that house – there is nothing we would change.

 

Thanks to the awesome team at Lockwood for use of some of the photos for this article.

Stunning in Stratford

21 October, 2021 by

Talk about keeping it local and in the family! When Kym and Mike Henry decided to build a new home, they wanted to be close to work and they certainly achieved that –they’re now only 1km away from their business ITM Stratford. With the help of an architect their new home was lovingly designed by Kym and built by their son and nephew.

The build took 18 months start to finish and the outcome really is stunning with a modern-industrial style. Lots of concrete, blockwork, timber accents and even a clever shipping container door into the scullery. We really love the use of a window for the splashback which overlooks the front of the property.

One challenging part of the build was achieving the sunken lounge area the way Kym envisioned it. With balustrade and three stairs down to the area, it is reminiscent of the 1970’s trend but executed in a very stylish, modern way.

Tonally the home is smooth and neutral with different greys and timbers. Plus, splashes of colour have been added throughout which are inspired by nature. The concrete bath is a luxurious feature in the main bathroom. But even more luxurious is separate his and hers ensuites off the main bedroom – imagine how great that would be!

The home is light and bright thanks to the 17 skylights that have been incorporated. But there is one place that is very dark! For movie lovers like Kym and Mike the ultimate indulgence was definitely including the cinema for six… 🤩

The cladding is a mixture of Rockcote and block chosen because they are low-maintenance and fit with the overall style. Wood accents and native planting help the home fit in with the rural surroundings on the 1.25-acre block.

We chose Marley Stratus Design Series® Typhoon® spouting and RP80® downpipes in black because it framed the house perfectly for the modern-industrial look.

The stylish half-round Typhoon® profile has excellent capacity and flow characteristics. Using internal brackets gives a smooth, contemporary look. It’s available in five colours and white, although black is very much on trend at the moment.

Proudly made in New Zealand and fully UV resistant to handle our harsh summer sun, high UV levels and long, hot days. Marley Stratus Design Series® will stand the test of time and we offer a 15-year guarantee to back that up.

What a stunning place to live and enjoy for years to come! Well done to Kym and Mike, and the whole team that helped to complete their new home.

 

Home by the bay

3 September, 2021 by

In an effortless combination of coastal chic and country charm, this gorgeous four-bedroom home sits surrounded by lush lawn and attractive landscaping within its huge 1597sqm north-east facing Coromandel section. No wonder it has won a gold award in the Auckland / Northland / Coromandel New Home $600,000 – $750,000 category in the 2021 House of the Year competition! Well done HAMR Homes.

Clad in vertical cedar shiplap weatherboard with good-looking stone features and a black corrugated Coloursteel roof, the house blends in beautifully with its coastal bush and farmland setting. Chosen for its clean lines and durability to the coastal environment the Marley Stratus Design Series® Typhoon® spouting and RP80® downpipes in Grey Friars® work perfectly with the warm tones. The choice of internal brackets mean the spouting has long runs with very clean lines. The half round Typhoon® profile is also great in high rainfall areas with a flow capacity of 87 litres/minute.

The entrance and outdoor living porticos are positioned perfectly to take in the view of Wharekaho Beach and Mercury Bay. From every window you’re able to take in the wonderful views of the surrounding farmland, wetlands, ocean, highway and local birds.

Every day is so different and the sunrises can be spectacular.

The kitchen and laundry incorporate crisp forms of laminate benchtops and melamine cabinets, with quality appliances and Methven tapware to give a top-class look.

The main suite is simply sublime with a sliding door leading to the outdoors, and large windows overlooking the bay view. In the ensuite, the black tiled shower features a mirror window, so the owners can enjoy an evening shower with the sense of being outside.

The house blends beautifully within its coastal farmland setting.

Built to achieve maximum results in a cost-effective way, the impeccable dwelling has delivered on everything the owners wanted for their coastal dream home.

Derelict to delightful in Dairy Flat

17 June, 2021 by

This quaint 1920’s bungalow has had a very adventurous life! It was built in Park Ave, Takapuna where it stayed until 1977, at which time it was shifted to a beautiful site in Dairy Flat. It’s had many renovations over the years, the most recent a top to bottom refurbishment to create the now stunning home it is for Ed Aitken and family.

Ed bought the home 5 years ago in a seriously tired and lived in state. Renovations started by adding 25m2 to make a total of 230m2 for the 4-bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 2 living spaces. The aim was to totally modernise the home for comfortable living while still retaining the classic charm of the era. This includes wide skirting boards, solid timbers and using the high ceiling space to maximum effect.

The house is filled with warm tones and inviting textures. The entrance way features beautiful old Kauri boards which were uncovered during the work and whitewashed as a stunning entrance feature. Sliding doors were recycled from a clifftop home in the North Shore Bays and used to give the home interest.

The galley kitchen has utilised existing marble on a spacious island bench – simply perfect for entertaining and feeding meals through to the light and bright dining room. State of the art appliances make it a cook’s dream.

Most interior spaces were painted in Resene White and Alabaster, with the lounge in Triple Sea Fog and the kitchen in Double Tapa. Full underfloor ducted air conditioning by Panasonic has been chosen to keep the home warm and dry.

The children have bedrooms to envy, one with a well-constructed sky bed, perfect for the privacy and space a teenager needs.

The exterior has been lovingly restored from top to bottom. Weatherboards stripped back and painted in Resene Sonyx 101 Double Foundry which is basically a dark grey with a blue tinge. Windows and trim in Resene Waterborne Enamel white gloss for contrast.

All framed perfectly with Marley Stratus Design Series® Typhoon® spouting and RP80® downpipes in Grey Friars®.

Ed was keen to have external brackets which look amazing with a traditional homes and they’re also great for high wind zones, like this site. However, rather than having them positioned every 300mm as recommended, Ed opted to alternate between internal and external brackets. This means every second bracket is external and positioned 600mm apart with the added strength from the internal ones. It looks great and is super solid!

Typhoon® is a stylish yet functional half-round profile which has excellent capacity and flow characteristics. It’s available in a range of colours with matching RP80® downpipes from the Stratus Design Series®; Grey Friars®, Ironsand®, Black, Copper and Titanium. Also, the well known and loved, white range.

Check out the stunning pool and pool house which was here already when Ed bought the home. It has however been refurbished and is a great asset in the summertime.

Not a bad view from beside the pool also + some furry friends as company – what an absolute dream life to be had here!

Ed and family are over the moon with their home and have future plans for more expansion to finish it off exactly as they hope. This home definitely doesn’t look like a 100-year-old property anymore!

Imagine waking up to this Wellington view

4 October, 2019 by

Waking up to that view was the long-held dream of Brent and Jeanette Tuohy. They bought their property in Plimmerton, Porirua twelve years ago, with the intention of bowling the existing house and building their ideal family home that made the most of the spectacular site. And that’s exactly what they’ve done.

They’ve made quite an impression

The old 1930’s home has been replaced by a very elegant and spacious 342m2 Lockwood home. Even though there were a few weather issues (it is Wellington after all) Brent and Jeanette managed to complete the entire project in just 10 months. Having their own building company certainly helped and the attention to detail in the home is simply outstanding.

All their own work

As Brent and Jeanette have spent many years assisting clients design their homes, all of what they know has been incorporated into the building of their own. Using their talented in-house draftsman they created a home that welcomed in the sun, opened out to the views and provided a warm and extremely comfortable haven. As you can see, they’re big fans of Velux Skylights!

“We’ve got them in both bathrooms too and they’re just brilliant. They let in the light, provide secure ventilation and automatically close if it rains.

Sustainability is built in

As a Lockwood Home it’s built from New Zealand grown Radiata Pine. And you can’t get much more sustainable than that. The cladding and joinery is all recyclable aluminium. The windows are all Low E (low emissivity) double glazed and the space between the panes filled with Argon gas to improve their ability to keep the heat in and the cold out.

Low maintenance is a high priority

When you’re this close to the sea and exposed to the occasional Wellington breeze your choice of building materials becomes incredibly important. Brent and Jeanette lead very busy lives so minimising maintenance was top of mind. Marley Stratus Design Series® Typhoon® spouting and RP80® downpipes was a no-brainer.

“It’s a fantastic looking product. We love the exterior brackets and the Titanium colour goes with everything, and of course, it won’t rust!”

Lockwood’s aluminium cladding is also so easy to look after. The occasional wash down and it looks like new.

 

Detail. Detail. Detail.

It’s the attention to detail that really makes this home special. Brent and Jeanette were incredibly particular in what they wanted in their home. They specified Lockwood ‘Pine Clear’ interior wall finishes which means there are no knots in the timber. All walls and sarking were blonded to achieve a lighter contemporary feel. The kitchen incorporates Blum soft closing drawers and doors, plus overhead cupboards have double-hinged lift up doors that self close. The floating shelves are fitted with strip lights to softly illuminate the kitchen bench. There is a second sink in the scullery. And the list of carefully thought out features included in this home goes on and on.

When asked if they would they have done anything differently in hindsight, their answer was a very succinct, “No!”  Which goes to prove that this home is everything they imagined.
