Contemporary Cedar Homes

MRTN Architects' Designed the 'House Under Eaves' in New Zealand

MRTN Architects is an architecture firm that was founded by Antony Martin and is based in Melbourne, Australia.

The company specializes in buildings that make use of material wisely, with one of its latest projects doing just that by utilizing panels of exposed cedar wood for the entirety of its exterior. Located on a sprawling green landscape in Point Wells of New Zealand, MRTN Architects' project, which was named the 'House Under Eaves,' is a refreshingly simplistic home that has a bright open design and a modern appeal that's void of any cluttering components.

Much like the outside, the interior is neutral and incorporates the same exposed cedar panels, making for a small home that simultaneously seems expansive, with large floor to ceiling windows and light hues decorating the walls.
