The property is clad in charred timber with the studio/garage board and batten finished with Resene Pitch Black wood stain.

The dark hue comes inside too, with Resene Bokara Grey as a feature in a bedroom, on the snug and on the island, Resene Indian Ink as a feature in a second bedroom, and Resene Pitch Black used to update lamps.

Retaining walls are in the midst of being painted in Resene Lumbersider Black. Once done, they can sit back and admire the landscape.
