A stunning rural residence in Papakaio, featuring a harmonious blend of Oamaru stone and red cedar, designed by John Donnelly to maximize views of the Southern Alps and integrate natural materials throughout its thoughtfully crafted spaces.

The Borrie’s home is rurally located in Papakaio, 21 km’s from Oamaru. It is carefully positioned on a rise overlooking the farm and out towards the Southern Alps. The single-level rectangular forms have a façade that combines Oamaru stone and red cedar panels, with additional elements of both the natural stone and timber in the form of columns and beams. 

Each of the spaces is of various size, depending on function and use, one common aspect throughout is that in every room, Oamaru stone is visible from a window.

This project uses sawn faced stone, Size: 650 x 90 x 390
Colour pallet: Autumnal Hues. 
Designed by: John Donnelly

“We chose Oamaru stone as we were looking for a cladding that was unique in an industry that is full of very similar looking products. We really like the clean look from afar, but also the interesting detail it has when you get up close. We love the faint saw marks when the sun hits it at particular angles, and that it’s a natural product which works really well with the cedar”
