Sleeping & Living

The bed sits as the centrepiece of the home - positioned to maximise views so you can wake up slowly, surrounded by your landscape.

Designed for both comfort and practicality, it includes:

• Built-in drawers on both sides for easy-access storage

• Integrated bedside tables with additional storage

• Reading lights for relaxed evenings

The bench seating nearby creates a secondary living zone, with a bi-fold window above that opens the space to the outdoors. It also transforms into a second bed, making the home flexible for guests.

Smart Storage Throughout

Storage is seamlessly built into the design, allowing the space to remain uncluttered and functional.

You’ll find:

• Under-bed drawers on both sides

• Built-in wardrobe with drawers and hanging space

• Storage beneath seating

Every element is designed to support simple, organised living.

Kitchen

The kitchen is partially separated from the main living and sleeping area—creating a sense of definition without closing off the space.

It features:

• Generous storage with soft-close drawers

• Window above the sink to capture natural light and views

A practical, well-considered layout that works effortlessly for everyday use.

Bathroom

Accessed via one of our signature solid timber cavity sliding doors, the bathroom includes:

• Shower with extractor

• Your choice of toilet

• Opening window for ventilation

• Additional high window for natural light

Simple, bright, and functional.

Indoor–Outdoor Living

The Ruapuke pairs beautifully with our purpose-built covered deck modules - designed to sit seamlessly alongside the home and effectively double your living space.

Both the home and deck are designed with transportability in mind, offering flexibility for your site and future plans.

Crafted with Care

Every section of our homes are handcrafted in our Raglan workshop by licensed builders, using high-quality, eco-conscious materials.

From kitchens to cavity doors, everything is built in-house - no off-the-shelf shortcuts, just thoughtful craftsmanship in every detail.
