Shane Kingsbeer’s Gisborne home and studio
The ability to enhance and contribute to the ways people live in and use spaces appealed to a young Shane Kingsbeer and inspired him to enter the field of architectural design. Based in Gisborne, Kingsbeer Architecture is a rising architectural design studio creating beautiful, environmentally friendly homes that respond to the landscape and provide creative solutions for the lifestyles of homeowners.

His house, which was recently featured in Here magazine, uses a range of Abodo’s offerings, with Vulcan Cladding externally, Vulcan Primed Cladding internally and on parts of the exterior, and Vulcan Panelling used in the richly textured and toned bathroom, which even features a one-of-a-kind handmade bath crafted from the timber product.
