Set on a quiet street in Tauranga’s Central Avenues, the Halcyon by Lighthouse bring a refreshing sense of calm to city living. With eight well-designed homes, this project keeps things simple, beautiful, and practical, just the way good design should be.

The exterior features JSC TMT Taiga, coated in JSC Scumble Wood Oil in colour Frost. The light coating softens the visual impact of the butterfly knots, making them a subtle detail that adds depth without overpowering the desired palette for these homes. Paired with vertical shiplap and fine vertical lines in the surrounding detailing, the result is a calm, modern exterior with just the right amount of texture. This soft whitewash complements the light, modern palette carried throughout the homes - inside and out. The result is an open, easygoing feel that’s both welcoming and timeless.

It’s a great example of how timber, tone, and thoughtful detailing can come together to create something special, without overcomplicating it.
