Kinloch, Taupo

This beautiful custom designed award winning home complements the surrounding landscapes using a striking combination of cedar and schist. The layout has been tailored to accentuate views of the lake, the surrounding hills and golf course, as well as ensuring privacy. A modern earthy colour scheme gives the interior a contemporary feel. Large windows and doors harness natural light and provide a grand sense of space.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area feature a raking tongue-and-groove ceiling, complemented by a green mica schist fireplace, matte black kitchen cabinetry and copper-tiled splashback.

Outdoor living areas – two connected to the living area and main bedroom, and another in the form of a private courtyard at the rear – make entertaining a breeze. All this and large, frameless corner stacking sliders that ensure an easy flow to the outdoors, make for a stylish, timeless all-weather sanctuary.
