Urban Homes – Rotorua

Warmth, texture and intentional simplicity define the Urban Homes show home, where natural materials and soft, muted tones create a calm, Japandi-inspired interior.

Novacolor Marmorino KS Venetian plaster and Cemher microcement were selected throughout the home, bringing complementary textures to living spaces, bathrooms and powder rooms. Applied by Texture Works, the finishes form part of a cohesive palette that connects architecture, interiors and the surrounding landscape.

In the media room and across walls and ceilings, Marmorino KS in colour 15136 introduces the subtle movement and depth of handcrafted Venetian plaster. Its softly varied surface responds to changing light, complementing the raking ceilings and adding warmth to the restrained styling.

Cemher microcement in Husk and Husk Half carries this understated approach through the bathrooms, splashbacks and powder rooms. Its seamless appearance creates visual continuity, allowing fittings, natural materials and carefully selected details to sit comfortably together.

Large sliding doors open onto a covered outdoor entertaining area, extending the sense of openness beyond the interior. Together, the finishes support a home that feels peaceful, grounded and considered, showcasing Venetian plaster and microcement in contemporary New Zealand design.
