 Looking to the horizon

This month we are thrilled to celebrate two major milestones that exemplify our journey of growth. Firstly, a shout out to Director Joe Fletcher as he marks an impressive five years at the helm of Horizon. Joe's leadership, dedication, and vision have been instrumental in steering us towards greater heights,

Secondly, it's been a year since we expanded our horizons with the acquisition of our second location in Mangawhai Heads. To celebrate we brought the entire team together for a delightful luncheon filled with camaraderie, laughter, and of course, cake!

Project Focus: Vineyard Valley, Mangawhai

In this months project focus Architectural Design Manager Frank Stanton discuss his recent project Vineyard Valley located in Mangawhai.

Located in the vineyard region of rural Mangawhai, this bespoke rural lifestyle home is designed to nestle perfectly within a unique building platform encompassed by native fauna and wetland ponds.

Architectural Design Manger Frank Stanton enjoyed working closely with owner / builder Jono Heron to procure a simplistic yet stylish family home that’s built form and material finish, complements the surrounding natural environment.

“Jono desired a classical A frame formation incorporating a suitable mix of mid to darkish tone natural finished timber and sheet metal products to form external cladding elements that integrate with and accentuate the characteristics of the adjacent native bush. This included the specific use of ‘standing seam’ sheet metal cladding where its vertical rib lines are aligned to project from external walls up across the gable roof plane so as to mimic the strong vertical lines formed by the trunks of adjacent mature Totara trees.” - Frank Stanton Architectural Design Manager
