Swooning over this gorgeous Mt Maunganui family home, boasting a two storey facade in the dark timber tones of Iron Vitriol on Vulcan timber weatherboards and feature battens.

Iron Vitriol is an ancient Scandinavian method of colouring wood, and will weather back to a brown grey patina over time, adding a graceful character to a building’s exterior.

This architecturally designed and built home named as 'Abodo Beach House' was highly commended in the @‌Architecture Designers New Zealand 2024 awards (150-300m2 category) 🙌

"There’s no more stunning site in Boulder, so connecting to those views and to that landscape was one of our top priorities" reflects Mike Piché, project architect of Panorama House.

Of course, when admiring a natural landscape, it’s fitting to ensure your built environment does not impact the world outside its doors. For this reason, it was important cladding made from renewable timbers rather than those derived from old growth forests was chosen. Abodo timbers come from Forest Stewardship Council® certified plantation forests in New Zealand, fortified for longevity using thermal modification.

Six years ago we provided a landmark in Cardrona, New Zealand’s alpine playground.

Reflecting the historic and pioneering nature of the area, our Cardrona Cabin is a showcase of what can be achieved when thinking differently about the built environment.

The cabin makes extensive use of Vulcan Cladding, Vulcan Screening, Vulcan Panelling and structural elements. Predominantly manufactured from glue laminated sections, the Vulcan timber product stores over 9 tonnes of carbon - dramatically offsetting the small amounts of concrete and structural steel used in the building.

Not only that, we wanted to celebrate craft. Cardrona Cabin took traditional building methodologies but exposed them, expressed them, and made them beautifully crafted.

The Rising Sun Residence’s sweeping entry curves give a nod to a sunrise emerging from the horizon, creating an inviting and exciting arrival to the courtyard and hidden garaging.

The bold presence of concrete and cobbled surfaces are beautifully softened by the warm hues of Protector - Straw on Vulcan timber battens.

There is a symphony at play here with robust materials and soft transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Minimising our impact, we choose only the highest quality logs which are then sawn in close proximity to the plantation, minimising transport related emissions and maximising operational efficiencies.

DID YOU KNOW? / Two coats of Protector are required on the top face and edges of exterior Vulcan weatherboards.

Keep this in mind to make sure you order the right amount of Protector, and allow time for the second coat in your project schedule.

A couple of helpful tips on the second coat application;

🏠 It's a good idea to do a wash back before the second coat of Protector is applied. This will ensure any site dirt or hand marks will be removed - particularly important with our lighter colours.

🏠 Protector stain should be applied evenly and not too heavily. Any excess stain needs to be wiped away before it dries.

Wellness bathing in the form of saunas, spas, hot tubs and ice baths, has become popular among health conscious folk looking to escape the excesses of modern life and the pull of technology - even if that escape is a few steps down the garden path.

With an exterior clad in Vulcan Screening in Protector - Nero, this sauna by @‌madebyhideaway, takes on a modern look that is befitting of the home’s architecture and makes a perfect backdrop to the garden’s green lushness.

🌲Forests sustain life - and today, on International Day of Forests, we celebrate the role Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) certified forests play in supporting biodiversity, communities, and climate resilience. By protecting forest ecosystems, we help ensure that forests continue to provide food, water, and essential resources for people and wildlife alike.

For 16 years it has been our commitment to only source Radiata Pine for our Vulcan timber from responsibly managed, FSC® certified forestry partners. This way we can play a part in the solution for sustainable, thriving forests while also protecting old growth forests for future generations.

WELCOME / Laurens Notenboom joins Abodo’s growing international team as our new Head of Sales – APAC, UK & Europe.

Coming into the role with a strong international business development background in the sustainable timber industry, Laurens is focused on growing the regions for Abodo with strategic sales development plans and product led programs.

Hailing from France and based in Bangkok for the past 17 years, Laurens has an extensive understanding of the construction materials industry in both Asia and Europe. Past roles have seen him build an APAC distribution network for a UK-based modified timber business, as well as lead a successful deck program in France in 2023 despite a drastic slow down in the markets.

However, while Laurens takes pride in these achievements, he views relationship-building as the groundwork for all he does.

“I highly value trust and respect in relationships. As I say, you need to walk the talk and ensure there is value in it for everyone and in everything you do.”

Carwoola Residence is designed with a dark and moody aesthetic on its upper level to contrast open and light filled views across to Mooloolaba Wharf. This dark yet textural glamour is achieved using a Vulcan clad main bedroom backdrop wall in Protector - Nero, accompanied by black and grey furnishings.

In addition to the main suite there are three guestrooms that echo the materials of the main bedroom. This cohesively marries this retreat zone to the blackened street front exterior.

Left uncoated, the homogenous brown tone of Vulcan Shingles will naturally weather over time to a silvered driftwood grey tone, creating a subtle, rustic display and a unique textural finish.

This can be seen here on the left at Wellington Zoo’s Snow Leopard Enclosure after about 12 months weathering. On the right you can compare with when the enclosure opened.

Vulcan Shingles was selected on this project to create a Himalayan inspired aesthetic, as well as it’s credentials being Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certified.

From seedling to mature tree, New Zealand Radiata grows rapidly - especially in the Central North Island. In 27-30 years, these responsibly grown trees will have sequestered on average 488-779 tonnes of carbon dioxide - more than twice what a hectare of indigenous forest sequesters.

Building materials are responsible for 11% of global carbon emissions. By specifying timber made from fast-growing trees that sequester more carbon dioxide than old growth trees, we can take a big step towards reversing those effects.

With Abodo timber being sourced from rapidly renewable New Zealand Radiata Pine plantation forests, and each square metre of Vulcan Cladding proven to store 7.56kg+ of carbon, you can have confidence you are making a climate positive difference when using it for a building project 🌲🌏

Leading the way in sustainable building, it was important for Dunlop Builders to walk the talk when creating their own headquarters. Material choices contributed greatly to their ability to do this.

Vulcan timber in Iron Vitriol was chosen to grace feature exteriors, adding to the facade a natural beauty that contrasts other harder materials typically seen in commercial buildings.

One of the many benefits of Iron Vitriol (or iron sulphate) is that it has low toxicity and generally does not contain volatile organic compounds (VOC’s).

This considered choice complements other mindful materials used throughout Dunlop Hub in Wanaka - the first official Passive House certified office building in New Zealand 🙌

TREE TALK / In an Abodo hosted webinar, expert John Kilby from Resene Coatings Technologies points out that movement due to moisture changes will be greatest along tree growth rings, and is the reason that certain log cuts result in warping, cupping, bowing, kinking and crooking of a timber board more than others.

This knowledge has informed the development of our patented vertical grain orientation technology in Vulcan timber’s processing methods, to replicate a quarter sawn (vertical grain) cut for:

🌲 Increased stability
🌲 Less surface checking
🌲 Longer term performance

Carefully Crafted Timber

At Abodo we craft timbers with lasting beauty that are safe for people and the environment. Our range includes cladding, decking and exterior construction timbers.

For too long, the timbers used in the places we live and work have been harvested unsustainably and chemically treated. Here at Abodo, we are leading the way for change. Our vision is for all timbers to be safe, sustainable and cared for, like the forests they grow in.

Lifetime Beauty: Abodo timbers are crafted to be enjoyed for years to come. Designed to age with grace, our timbers have exceptional weatherability and maintain their durability and beauty for a lifetime.

With Tomorrow in Mind: our timbers are harvested from sustainable plantation forests. They are crafted with respect from beginning to end – allowing us to meet today’s needs without disadvantaging future generations.
