FAIRWOOD

Rural Cambridge, Waikato, Aotearoa, New Zealand

Modern lodge-inspired home defined by flow, materiality, and timeless elegance.

Set in the heart of Cambridge’s equine country, this sophisticated lodge-style home balances timeless elegance with effortless functionality. Designed for multigenerational living, the house features a central, light-filled living hub that flows seamlessly to outdoor entertaining areas, including poolside and al fresco dining spaces. Thoughtful planning separates private retreats, including a master suite with direct pool access, while a fully serviced one-bedroom unit offers flexible accommodation.

The material palette - stone, cedar, copper accents, and extensive American oak, creates warmth and texture. Signature features, including a dining booth, elevated formal dining area, and covered walkway, enhance both practicality and presence. Elevated on a level two-acre site and framed by mature London plane trees, the home achieves understated grandeur, timeless proportions, and a welcoming, very English feel.
