Residential · Waiheke Island
A unique colour choice with COLORSTEEL® Lichen pays off on Waiheke Island. Blending into its surroundings with ease.
Designed by Cheshire Architects, for a couple who love the outdoors, Awaawaroa House is made up of three Pod buildings positioned around a beautifully crafted courtyard which plays the part of a fourth space: an outdoor room.

About this project
COLORSTEEL® Lichen was chosen to clad rest of the home. In a striking Espan® profile, the COLORSTEEL® carries down from the roof to the side walls of the house, lending a sense of sturdy protection for the weathered timber elements. The lichen colour also provides a nostalgic reference to the fly of a classic canvas tent and helps the building to integrate with the two-bedroom blocks, which are unusually clad in canvas. This sense of integration is accentuated by the streamlined nature of the Espan® profile. It was a pleasure and a privilege to undertake this project.
