Titanium

An Oasis of Calm with Neutral Shades

13 February, 2020 by

In our overstimulated lives and minds, the movements of minimalism and mindfulness continue to resonate for people. Neutral colour palettes are an excellent base for incorporating these mindsets in our homes. It’s a tranquil and versatile trend that will be big in 2020.

By definition, neutrals are without colour but they can have undertones which are either warm or cool. You want to keep this in mind when mixing and layering shades. It’s best to stick with shades that have a similar undertone. The result should be visually restful — your eye flows easily from point to point.

Beige, through the name alone, can sound drab and safe but when used thoughtfully can be warm and welcoming. As you can see from this kitchen it pairs well with soft wood tones. The result is an open, light and calming space but definitely not boring!

Bring nature inside

Along with natural wood tones adding a touch of green with plants can work perfectly on a neutral backdrop. They help to purify the air and add a touch of life and colour while adding to the natural harmony. Structural and hardy snake plants, large tropical monstera leaves or perhaps the deep green of a lily. The chinese money plant below is another hardy choice that doesn’t mind a bit of shade in the bathroom.A neutral colour palette is a great opportunity to mix up patterns and textural elements without the risk of a visual mess. Layer different textures and place unique objects to add interest and personality. Just be mindful to keep the change in contrast low so it doesn’t get too busy.

As always lighting is important and will transform a room throughout the day. You can imagine how the look is changed when this structural pendant light is illuminated. The texture and shapes are complemented by the natural light through the louvre shutters.

Interior spaces with a neutral foundation are easier to change up and transform. You’re free to mix up the look of a room with different décor and furnishings without the time/cost of completely changing the colour scheme. Something that will appeal to potential buyers.

In the same way, the use of neutrals in exterior design also makes a lot of sense. They have timeless appeal which is important when considering resale value.

In tune with nature

Rather than standing out like a sore thumb we love the idea of a house which is designed to sit harmoniously in its surroundings. Natural materials of timber, brick and stone and other textural elements that will weather well over the years.

This home in Raumati used quite a few neutral tones which has worked to create heaps of interest plus draws you into the entrance. Coupled with Stratus Design Series® spouting and RP80® downpipe in Titanium, the outcome is stunning. See more on this home here.

Inspired by nature, the Marley Stratus Design Series® has a versatile collection of spouting and downpipe styles to add the perfect finishing touch.

The Marley Stratus Design Series® spouting and RP80® downpipe in Copper used below perfectly enhance the cedar cladding, making for a real feature home. You can read more about this modern build which embraces the earthy/natural aesthetic here. The Stratus Design Series® is available in a range of colours that will complement any exterior colour scheme and the natural elements used in your build. So, there you have it. Neutral colours are a shrewd and flexible choice which can cater to a range of design styles from traditional to modern. Get inspired by the warmth, light and beauty of the natural environment.

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.

Captivating coastal Northland

20 July, 2017 by

After looking for more than 6 years, Shaun and Margaret finally found ‘the one’. A vacant site in Northland, perched high in stunning Tutukaka, with awe-inspiring, sweeping sea views that stop you in your tracks.

Big plans but no builder

Having built a house in 1997 in nearby Maungakaramea, the news that their trusted builder had since retired meant the hunt began for a housing company.

We approached a few companies with our design, and requested estimates. We chose Jennian Northland as they were the best to deal with throughout that process.

18 months later, and the empty land had been transformed into a welcoming home, built tough to withstand the elements of the elevated coastal site.

Considered positioning was needed for the house to account for the undulating contours of the site, and for protection from the high-wind exposure. Everything indoors and out was designed to make the most of those panoramic views.

Exterior echoing nature

Natural materials were chosen for the exterior, combined with a coastal-inspired colour scheme to blend harmoniously with the location.

Cladding in schist, rendered brick, and hard-wearing Linea weatherboard created a foundation firm enough to weather any storm.

Shaun and Margaret chose Colorsteel’s MAXX Trimline for the roof in the moody grey-blue shade of New Denim.

Marley Typhoon® spouting in Titanium, with matching RP80® downpipes, made for a sensible and stylish choice for the finishing touch to the exterior. “We liked the look of the Marley Typhoon spouting” says Shaun.

“Plus our location raised a few concerns for choosing the right spouting. We took into account our long run mono pitch roof design over four sections and levels, the salt-laden air, and long, hot sunny summer days.”

Marley’s uPVC spouting solved it all for us. No concerns about metal corroding, and it could cope with Northland’s heat and high UV at the same time.

A 3kW PV Solar System on the roof takes advantage of Northland’s high sunshine hours for generating power.

Picturesque plantings

With more work in the garden still on their ‘to do’ list, Shaun and Margaret’s clever plant selections so far have achieved a lush feel, an impressive feat given the restrictions of the harsh location.

We chose mainly native plants that could withstand the salt-laden air of the coast.

Unobstructed views

The substantial decking area, constructed from pine with steps edged in reclaimed telephone-pole cross arms, was kept low profile, providing easy indoor-outdoor flow and avoiding the need for balustrades which would otherwise interrupt those breathtaking views.

The ocean indoors

The brand-new, complex, 279sqm home encompasses four bedrooms and two bathrooms, a large kitchen, and two generous living spaces.

With inspiration at-hand through every window, the interior colour scheme was designed to take a backseat to the statement view.

Shaun and Margaret chose Resene Quarter Tea throughout for a cohesive interior colour. Quarter Tea is Resene’s fifth most popular seller, with the muted soft beige providing a warmer base and more complexity than plain white.

The expansive kitchen above is an entertainer’s dream. The luminous turquoise kitchen splash-back in Resene Hullabaloo was sourced from Regal Plus, who also supplied the kitchen, and brings the ocean indoors (for those brief moments you can tear yourself away from the eye-catching views). The granite benchtops are from Stone Warehouse in Auckland.

The bathrooms and master bedroom ensuite perfectly complement the interior colour scheme, with Crema Marfil porcelain print tiles, tapware and mixers from the Methven Aio collection, and Athena bathroom vanities and sinks.

Smartvent and additional ducted air conditioning was added to keep their home cool in summer and warm in winter for year-round comfort.

Favourite things

Now the build is done and they’ve settled in to their new home, Shaun says “It is an extremely liveable house and the living areas have the benefit of the amazing panoramic views.”

When asked what advice he’d give other homeowners trying to achieve a similar look, Shaun said “Don’t rush. Each site has its own advantages and challenges, so spending a lot of time thinking through all aspects of the design is really important prior to the start of construction. Attention to the details is a critical success factor.”

From the big picture to the finer details, like the finishing touch of Marley Typhoon uPVC spouting in Titanium, it’s obvious Shaun and Margaret’s carefully considered attention to detail has really paid off.
