CLADDING

If you are building new or extensively renovating, the cladding you choose can make a difference. “The exterior of The Block NZ homes have a mixture of different cladding types including brick, cedar and Shadowclad, a plywood product,” says Peter. “The great benefit of plywood is that it uses more of the log, so as a cladding type it is actually quite environmentally friendly.”

Stace and Yanita’s kitchen and dining room incorporates LED lighting and a David Trubridge pendant made from bamboo plywood. OPPOSITE Andy and Nate on site.
