A simple yet beautiful "bush bach" has taken out the Auckland-Northland Architectural Designers Awards, announced on Friday, June 30, 2017.
Designer David Maurice has created a raw but considered holiday home with a large fireplace and twin bathtubs on the deck.
Natural timber siding features on the exterior, silvering off into a patina which contrasts ever so slightly with the corrugated steel elements.
A similar natural cladding effect can be used using Abodo's Tundra Cladding, coated in Sioo:x wood protection.
Sioo:x is a silicate based surface coating that reacts with wood and the surrounding elements creating a slick silvery shell on the outside of timber.
Please note: Tundra Cladding is no longer available. However, you can achieve a similar look in our Vulcan Cladding – Standard Series.
Responding to customer demand for greater fixing depth, builders will get an extra 10mm where they need it most. Replacing the 65mm, the new 75mm Cladding Screw is arriving in September 2026.
Abodo introduces a breakthrough that reshapes what’s possible in timber design: Vaaro Fire, an ultra durable, fire compliant timber* - all from one trusted manufacturer.
Abodo is pleased to announce the appointment of Pentarch Forest Products as its official distributor in Australia, effective 1 July 2026.
Glosswood and Abodo’s brand collaboration has resulted in two exclusive Vulcan® exterior cladding profiles, inspired by iconic Australian landscapes.
