Project Feature

Panorama House - Colorado, USA

Using enduring, natural materials, this Boulder home is thoughtfully crafted to harmonise with its dramatic alpine surroundings. Paying homage to the original home’s mid-century modern aesthetic while embracing the rugged beauty and ever-changing elements of the mountain environment, architect Mike Piché, formerly of Studio B, specified Abodo timber as the primary exterior cladding.

There's no more stunning site in Boulder, so connecting to those views and to that landscape was one of our top priorities.

Felicity Brenchley

Using an array of natural finishes and materials, architect Felicity Brenchley’s own coastal home in Mahurangi is designed with sustainability in mind.

Colours had to be dark with glazing recessed below eaves to reduce reflectivity from the marine reserve. This informed the design from the outset, as did our aim to use, durable and sustainable materials such as Abodo.
