Case Study on Dimond Roofing's Eurotray Lite

The following case study showcases the robust but stylish design of Eurotray Lite which makes it so ideal for New Zealand alpine settings. Featuring smooth seams and concealed fixings, this profile has the capability of being long run, and is suitable for most architectural designs.

When a 1600m2 site in West Melton was purchased, the owners were looking to build their “forever” home, something that would capture the magnificence of the rural vista to the mountains in contrast to their hectic urban lifestyle. This became the challenge for Rangiora architectural designer, Jason Higham (Higham Architecture), to create a home with long term appeal and Lifemark standards.

The long-term safety, usability and adaptability of the home was at the heart of the design which has achieved the maximum 5-Star certification under Lifemark’s design standards.

The public face of the building is punctuated by a few slender windows leaving the minimalist forms and claddings to stand proud. Sleek black steel in wide tray profile contrasts against white plaster, while the visual warmth of cedar weatherboards harmonises the overall aesthetic. “Capitalising on the solar gains is the thermal mass of polished concrete floors throughout the main part of the home”, says Jason. “Atop the bedroom wing are photo-voltaic laminate panels laid within the wide tray roofing for a virtually invisible additional energy source.”
