Tunarau
Rangitahi Peninsula, Raglan | Design & Build | 2022
Perched within the sought-after Rangitahi Peninsula community, Tunarau is a striking 178m² architectural home that combines modern design, natural materials, and effortless coastal living. Built by ResiBuilt, one of the leading Raglan builders, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home showcases how thoughtful design can maximise both lifestyle and connection to its surroundings.
The home's exterior makes an immediate statement, blending warm vertical timber cladding with bold dark metal finishes to create a contemporary yet timeless aesthetic. The distinctive roofline and clean architectural forms reflect the relaxed sophistication that has become synonymous with premium homes in Raglan.
Inside, Tunarau has been carefully planned to deliver functionality without compromising style. Polished concrete floors, expansive glazing, and warm timber accents create a light-filled interior that feels both welcoming and refined. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area forms the heart of the home, seamlessly connecting to a generous elevated deck that captures views across the surrounding landscape.
The designer kitchen features sleek cabinetry, stone benchtops, and quality fittings, creating a practical space for everyday living and entertaining alike. Large sliding doors extend the living area outdoors, providing the perfect setting for family gatherings, summer barbecues, or simply enjoying the relaxed Raglan lifestyle.
The master suite offers a private retreat complete with a beautifully appointed ensuite, while two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, or guests. Premium bathrooms feature floor-to-ceiling tiling, floating vanities, and carefully selected finishes that enhance the home's contemporary character.
Built with quality craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout, Tunarau reflects ResiBuilt's commitment to creating homes that are not only visually impressive but designed to perform for modern family life.
