Perched atop a rugged ridge overlooking Te Anau, this award-winning home by Fabric and Te Anau Homes Ltd embraces its alpine setting through thoughtful material selection and expert craftsmanship. A seamless blend of architecture and nature, the residence features JSC's Alaskan Yellow Cedar random width cladding and JSC's Purpleheart decking, selected to align with the project’s vision while ensuring durability and performance in the harsh alpine environment.

Timber Solutions That Define the Home

• Alaskan Yellow Cedar Cladding – Installed in a random-width vertical shiplap profile (APJ341, APJ361, APJ381), the cladding enhances the home’s textured façade. Finished in Wood-X Endeavour, the warm golden hues will naturally soften to a silver-grey, further integrating the home into its environment.
• Purpleheart Decking – Extending from the interior living spaces, this dense and durable timber weathers over time, transitioning from deep purple to a soft silver, echoing the tones of the rocky terrain.

A Lasting Impression

This multi-award-winning home has received Regional Category Wins, National Top 100 recognition, and is a finalist in the 2025 Home Magazine Home of the Year awards. A stunning design that prioritises material integrity and a strong connection to nature.
