Cedar reclad & interior refurbishment · Herne Bay, Auckland

Cedar around every curve.

GRIT worked across all aspects of this substantial Herne Bay cedar reclad and interior refurbishment, as part of the onsite construction team. The exterior brings vertical timber cladding across varied building forms, including a striking curve that demanded careful carpentry and attention to detail.

The project

Detailed work inside and out.

One of the largest projects GRIT has worked on, this home called for a comprehensive cedar reclad and interior refurbishment. As part of the onsite construction team, GRIT worked across the exterior and interior, from the curved building form and vertical cladding to detailed timber work inside.

The photographs follow stages of the work and show how the home's complex geometry carries through its construction and finish.
