Abodo as Manufacturers

With a goal of creating a climate conscious build, Christopher Wood Architects and Selah Homes partnered with Abodo and chose Abodo’s carbon negative Vulcan timbers for this luxury showhome north of Auckland.

In total, the Abodo products used in this home add up to a total carbon store of 3500kg - going a long way to realising the goal.

Aesthetically, the timbers give the home a highly finished, contemporary country lodge look, with the upper floor of the home using Abodo Vulcan Cladding with a brushed finish in Protector Ebony, with vertical Vulcan Battens laid over top at even intervals to add some visual depth.

Inside, Vulcan Panelling lines one of the key interior spaces, which acts as Abodo’s headquarters within the property, and extends outside to the soffit. This room features a curved wall created with Vulcan Panelling, lending a dynamic look to the space.

The finished showhome is a warm and inviting example of Abodo Vulcan products in-situ.
