In the heart of Auckland, something extraordinary is taking shape. Behind a quiet industrial façade in Mt Wellington, 200 hotel rooms are being built not on-site, but inside a factory. Each one will be transported to Wakefield Street and stacked together to form New Zealand’s first-ever volumetric hotel.

First impressions matter, and they last. So, when building or renovating a home, one of the most difficult, time-consuming and important decisions will relate to the choice of exterior cladding. Whether a new build or a reclad, the cladding options are vast, each with their own benefits and quirks.

New Zealanders love their villa renovation projects with more and more of them taking up the challenge to transform these character homes into something special to call their own. This has led to some stunning results from talented professionals from across the country that are nothing short of inspiring and we've found the pick of them to share with you.
