The striking exterior uses a mix of natural and manmade materials. Vertical cedar weatherboard cladding was stained black to match the black aluminum panels, giving relief to the stark white concrete panels; while stack-bonded concrete block was used to construct the garage, adding another layer of interest to the monochrome colour palette. Rockcote Integra Lightweight Concrete Panels.
The clients of this lovely home commented by saying: ‘What we love most about our new home is the relaxed, warm feeling it has. The light-filled central hub, with its open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces, caters for groups large and small, young and old, and makes entertaining a real joy.’

Within walking distance from Merivale’s boutiques and cafes, and with Hagley Park on the doorstep and the vibrant city centre a short stroll away. Enlisting DJ Hewitt to undertake their rebuild was a natural choice: the couple had worked with DJ Hewitt before; this was to be the pair’s third home he would build. They felt confident in the abilities of the building team under Foreman Noel, who has a wealth of experience running a building site. Responsible for keeping the momentum on any project, his job involved liaising with Daryl and the building team, the architect, interior designer, and numerous subcontractors, along with the clients, to ensure the project ran smoothly.
