The deliberate choice to incorporate Forte’s Salvare Natural Spruce Lamella on the ceiling brings a sense of organic warmth to the space, enriched by the aged timber's inherent character that echoes throughout. Crafted from reclaimed Spruce, its natural-coloured surface with a brushed texture not only highlights a distinctive grain pattern, but also tells a story of sustainability and timeless beauty, making it a visually appealing and environmentally conscious option for the home.
Curated Living has emphasised a commitment to eco-conscious design with the exterior, showcasing locally sourced New Zealand timber cladding and accents of concrete that harmoniously reflect the natural tones of the surrounding landscape. Additionally, the use of thermally treated pine cladding further reinforces the home's commitment to sustainability.
