Taupata
Perched on the Redcliffs hills, Taupata is a stunning example of how old and new can come together seamlessly. Originally built in the 1930s, this home underwent a carefully planned extension that honours its heritage while introducing a fresh, modern design.
The project required precise execution to ensure the new addition connected seamlessly with the original structure. This thoughtful approach preserves the character of the home while creating stylish, functional spaces for modern living.
Clad in charred Siberian larch timber, the home features the Yakisugi technique, a traditional Japanese method that improves durability, fire resistance, and stability. This unique finish adds a striking and practical element to the design. Taupata is a true blend of tradition and innovation, offering a home that celebrates its past while being perfectly suited for the present.
