Two distinct pavilions greet visitors to this dark and distinctive Palmerston North home. Linea Oblique weatherboard and New Zealand cedar cladding bring drama to the external walls and create a stylish architectural facade in the new subdivision.

One pavilion has uninterrupted open-plan living anchored by a designer kitchen. With raked ceilings rising to 2.7m, followed by bulkheads, the space is airy and spacious feeling. A tiled feature wall with an integrated rangehood in the kitchen adds to the sense of openness and Dekton benchtops complete the stylish picture.

Indoor-outdoor flow is easy. Step outside from the lounge and you’re on a private sun-drenched kwila deck. In the other wing you’ll find three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom has an ensuite and a walk-in wardrobe; bathroom fittings include New Zealand-made Methven tapware. The 196sqm H-shaped house also has a study and internal-access double garage. The link between the two wings forms the entrance and provides the structure for the attractive partially covered corridor to the front door.
