The 60x6 House’s name refers to its size: 60 metres long, six metres wide, although it's one long structure, it's a far more complex project than meets the eye.
The length of the home meant one of the long sides could enjoy the north-facing sun and views.
NF Construction managed the entire construction journey of 60x6 House.
Almost the entire exterior is clad in striking black quarter sawn vertical cedar timber.
The huge 13 metre-long doors looking out to the greenery beyond were a particular challenge to construct.

The main living spaces are all accessed along the 'spine' of the home.
The understated interior finishes help amplify the natural light that floods the space.
