The Tavai
Botanical and beautifully rustic
Shell & Lee found their slice of paradise in Bell Block, Taranaki, an evolving coastal community attracting young families and those who appreciate relaxed living.
Everything you see in Shell and Lee’s home has been carefully curated to celebrate Taranaki’s unique and wild coastline.
Shell and Lee’s brick exterior is inspired by growing up in England. They also wanted to reflect the “place we now call home - Taranaki” Shell says. With this in mind they chose a dark native flax colour for the joinery and roof. “We also chose nautical exterior lights to reflect the house being close to the ocean.” The white brick with black joinery in ‘Flax’ adds a modern feeling to the home and resembles the native New Zealand Flax plant/Harakeke. Lush green plants help to soften the white brick creating a gorgeous botanical feel, for a couple who love nature.
Their interior styling is inspired by the beautiful rustic textures of coastal Taranaki. The rugged concrete stone bench creates a bold statement piece in the open plan living space, and natural materials with a light and dark colour scheme, symbolise Taranaki beaches and landscape.
This gorgeous first home is made complete with a rustic barn door – acting as a feature wall and access to the separate media room. The barn door adds character and a moody vibe to the space.
