The Hawk House

The ceiling of the Hawk House in Queensberry, Central Otago is nothing if not jaw-dropping. Complex angles and changing tones almost compete with the building’s amazing views. Craig Harrison from Mojo Joinery, a local company that ranges as far afield as Christchurch, says they like to do things that are different and challenging. A hand-chosen team of talented staff ensure that word of mouth keeps work coming through the door of this busy company. Members of the Master Joiners Association, Craig says they work hard to stay abreast of new products and trends.

The Hawk House in Queensberry features a stunning Plymasters Classique Oak ceiling, designed in collaboration with architect James Stockwell and builder Nick Mizzi, showcasing unique angles and breathtaking views, while embracing natural materials for a warm, inviting atmosphere.

For the distinctive ceiling, created in Plymasters Classique Oak, Mojo Joinery worked with architect James Stockwell and builder Nick Mizzi. Craig says the home has a nice feel to it and he’s very happy with the way the Classique Oak ply has contributed to it – although he gives much of the credit to the builder. “It has a nice, homey feel to it, and great views.” He says he has worked with ply a lot recently and says its elegant finish and cost-effectiveness are increasingly popular. “There are some really nice examples around, and people are more into natural products.” The ceiling worked so well at Hawk House that the decision was also made to clad the interior of the garage in Classique Oak.

Our Classique wall and ceiling range is made exactly for high-end architectural applications like this. Choosing plywood as a ceiling lining offers this design greater long-term value than ging with plasterboard. Natural wood grains bring a warmth and sophistication that painted plasterboard simply can’t match. The beautiful grain pattern elevates this design to create an elegant, luxurious space. Cut into planks, the warmth and grain pattern of our Classiaque Candian Oak is even further highlighted with the light bouncing beautifully off each plank.

Plywood linings offer greater durability and easy maintenance ensuring that this architectural design stays stunning for longer. Plywood panels are highly impact-resistant compared to plasterboard, making them ideal far more wear and tear resistant. Minor scuffs or damage to plywood surfaces can often be repaired or refinished without the need for a full replacement.

Are your clients showing more interest in sustainable, natural products? The Hawk House is a fantastic example of the creative ways that natural plywood linings can be used to hugely enhance the look of a space. In this case our Classique Canadian Oak elevates the ceiling to create a space that is as eye catching as the stunning natural surroundings.
