Design Challenge: Match a modern aesthetic and remove a concealed gutter system.
This delightful Meadowbank residence has undergone an extreme make over from a 137m² floor plan to a 265m² floor plan. Aside from adding a new level, the house has also become more refined with its new external spouting from the Marley Stratus Design Series®.
Marley’s Typhoon® half-round spouting and RP80® 80mm round downpipes are an external system that not only keeps water outside the building but also create an eye-catching aesthetic
The dwelling’s original spouting was set behind a fascia, creating problems with moisture ingress into the building envelope. The concealed gutter system was also unflattering to the house’s modern look. Marley’s Typhoon® half-round spouting and RP80® 80mm round downpipes are an external system that not only keeps water outside the building but also create an eye-catching aesthetic. The homeowner, Dave Thomas, selected internal spouting brackets to further accentuate the smooth visual lines framing the house. The Marley Stratus Design Series® offers peace of mind as it is purpose–built for New Zealand’s varying weather conditions, and will never rust.
Like all Marley spouting and downpipe systems, the Marley Stratus Design Series® has been designed with the planet in mind. It is 100% recyclable, certified for use with potable water and long-lasting with a 15–year guarantee.
