The Remuera House is a renovation of an old circa 1960’s brick house.
Where the original house lacked continuity and flow, the new raking ceiling was designed to connect the interior and exterior, at the same time maximising the spectacular cliff top views.
BDG Architects were looking for a natural timber ceiling lining that could continue to exterior soffit.
Abodo Panelling was chosen for its natural grain appearance combined with the high stability and natural durability, allowing it to perform well in an exterior application.




Create clean lines using various profiles, including Fusion, Element or Classic. With a variety of coatings and finishes, Abodo cladding is perfect for bespoke architectural aesthetics and applications.

Customisable in a range of bandsawn finishes for a unique look and feel, Vulcan Screening results in clean, modern lines and a finish that will turn heads.

Abodo's Vulcan Panelling brings the warmth of wood to interior applications, such as ceilings, walls and feature eaves.

Create a lasting, naturally beautiful exterior space with Vulcan Decking, created from thermally modified, rapidly renewable, softwood timber.
