Bedford is a rural home in Te Kowhai that isn’t afraid of colour. Outside, it’s grounded in timber and concrete.

The home

Warm timber cladding sits under a blue-black metal roof, with one gable end in sand-coloured precast concrete panels. Metal artwork panels shaped like raupo reeds are framed through the windows.

Inside

The vaulted living space has multicoloured LED strip lines across the ceiling, above a blue and teal kitchen on a polished aggregate floor. Lighting runs from smart home touchscreens, with scenes for different times of day.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

Each bedroom has its own colour, from deep green to teal and purple. The powder room has a sculpted stone basin on a live-edge timber top and a gold-fleck plaster feature wall.
