Raise the Roof with Colorsteel
Posted on July 31, 2025 in Design
Roofing has always been a key decision in home design, one that can completely transform the look and feel of a home. As more Kiwis fall in love with lighter exterior palettes, the spotlight is on roofing and how it can play a key part in bringing this to life. The Huapai shows just how much impact your roof choice can make on your home’s overall aesthetic.
Topped with a COLORSTEEL® Gull Grey roof, the Huapai sits confidently in the sunlight, showcasing a crisp, clean aesthetic that perfectly balances modern style with natural warmth. The trapezoidal roof profile adds structure and sophistication, while the soft grey tone plays beautifully against the home’s light vertical cladding and white brickwork. Paired with large windows and open-plan living that flows seamlessly to a covered outdoor patio, the roof helps anchor the home’s contemporary feel without overwhelming the overall design.
This exterior is not only visually cohesive but incredibly functional. COLORSTEEL® offers strength and durability to stand up to New Zealand’s harshest conditions, while still delivering a lightweight, low-maintenance solution.
The Gull Grey palette works effortlessly with natural materials, soft greens, and timber touches, creating a calm and inviting feel both inside and out.
