Abodo’s “Raglan Sleepout” entry was highly commended at this week’s New Zealand Timber Design Awards.
The sleep out was commissioned by owner Marty Verry as a child friendly space – with low toxicity building materials being of utmost importance.
A key feature of the house is the Vulcan natural wood weatherboards. Vulcan is a beautiful locally grown alternative to imported Western Red Cedar, and is extremely stable and durable.
The weatherboards were supplied by Abodo factory coated with a specially formulated Protector plant-based oil finish – with zero VOC’s.
“It is great to see recognition of this new, 'home grown' technology
from the design community” explains Abodo’s Technical Director, Ben
Campbell.
Glosswood and Abodo’s brand collaboration has resulted in two exclusive Vulcan® exterior cladding profiles, inspired by iconic Australian landscapes.
Sharing our 2026 Impact Report. A closer look at how innovation, responsible forestry, and collaboration continue to guide Abodo’s path forward.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy holiday season.
