WORKING SMART ACROSS CONTINENTS
At the foot of a mountain, with views over clear waters, the couple Coen and Lana are building their new life. Soon, they will trade the city life of Amsterdam for the rugged landscape of New Zealand, where they are having a sustainable and self-sufficient home built. For Format, this project is special, not only because of the unique location but also because it is our first international project. A complete interior design developed from 18.000 kilometers away.
SUSTAINABLE, FUNCTIONAL AND BUILT TO LAST
This house is build for the long term. Everything is focused on sustainability, quality, and practical use. Because the house will be off grid, material choice was key from the start. For example, the insides of all cabinets are made of water-resistant plywood, ideal for ocean shipping and durable enough for New Zealand’s climate. They chose walnut wood for the living areas and light oak in the bedrooms to create a calm atmosphere. The kitchen will feature Fusion WOW, a strong quartzite with striking patterns. Bathrooms are finished with Patagonia, a quartzite rich in nuance and character. The result is an interior that fits the landscape and can withstand the test of time.
