Rise & Clad with James Hardie
Posted on August 4, 2025 in Design
The Paerata home is a standout example of how thoughtful design paired with smart material choices can create something truly striking. At the heart of its visual appeal is James Hardie’s Stria™ Cladding, known for its deep grooved lines and bold, rhythmic aesthetic.
Painted in dark, moody tones, the cladding adds a layer of sophistication and drama that elevates the entire home.
The design features a double-clad pavilion at the rear and a single pavilion at the front, creating a strong, modern façade that blends architectural creativity with practical performance.
