The design brief for this home was to create a rustic meets contemporary home, with a coastal, equestrian Cape Cod look and feel. A contrasting black exterior in Resene Blackjack with barn shutters and garage doors painted in Resene Double Black White was a big part of the design. Designed by Julie Richardson-Smith of Customkit Buildings.

The rock features at the entrance are striking and help to ground the building to the rustic feel of the property. A bold exterior painted in rich Resene Blackjack brings the contemporary element to the home, as well as a touch of luxe. Designed by Julie Richardson-Smith of Customkit Buildings.

Warm – physically and emotionally. That was the brief for the build of this Canberra, Australia, by its owners, which was achieved partly by a striking red and black exterior using Resene Woodsman stains, Resene Totem Pole (red) and Resene Sheer Black. Designed by Light House Architecture and Science.

The rich red and charcoal Resene Woodsman stained cladding references colours from Australian gum tree bark. The red stain is Resene Woodsman Totem Pole, and the charcoal stain is Resene Woodsman Sheer Black. Designed by Light House Architecture and Science.
