The Brief
The retired couple didn’t have a plan in mind when they approached Signature Homes, but had a list of must-haves. Their home needed to be low maintenance and built to take in the sea views across to Port Taranaki.

The Materials
The couple decided on a mix of exterior cladding, all in similar light grey tones, which gives the home an industrial yet homely feel. The upper level and garage are clad in Rockcote Graphex, which is complemented by James Hardie Linea weatherboard and a natural finish honed concrete block.
