“Being local is something that resonates with us because we love our coastline and surrounding areas. It means a lot to work with local businesses and materials. Honouring our heritage and taking a sustainable approach to building is really at the heart of what we do.”
“The architectural qualities of australian araucaria™ made it a great choice for the project. The light colour gave the open plan spaces a light feeling. It looks good and is locally sourced which was a huge plus for our team.”
“We wanted to use timber for the facade of the home so it would hold onto the original feel of the workers cottage. Our supplier specialises in decorative timber and provided australian araucaria™ for the beautiful French casement windows, entry door and back door. In my eye it’s not just timber, it’s an architectural feature.”
GROWN HERE, FOREVER
Step into a lush internationally certified plantation forest nourished by the Queensland sun and nurtured by careful hands. Our australian araucaria™ forests have been intentionally planted to ensure a continuous supply of this uniquely beautiful resource. Araucaria is primarily found in Queensland, making our forests a rarity in a world where it’s uncommon for plantations to grow in a place they’re endemic to, complementing the surrounding environment.
For generations, our dedicated foresters have embraced sustainable and forward-thinking practices, driven by a profound respect for nature and a commitment to future generations. The resilience, fine grain, stability, and ability to be easily glued and shaped has made Araucaria a pillar of Queensland for over a hundred years. But its story goes back much, much further.
These impressive trees have been around for over 70 million years. Known as the monarchs of the forest, Araucaria as a species is truly unique, having thrived in South East Queensland for millennia. Its survival through climate change, ice ages, and even the era of the dinosaurs is a testament to its resilience. We are continuing their legacy, growing them where they’re meant to be grown and treasuring every precious piece so that their story continues to be told well into the future.
We’re not about fast growth and rapid consumption. We believe in long-term sustainability over short term gains, quality over quantity, and pure beauty over ‘good enough.’ Our timber is the result of world-leading practices and cutting-edge technology, achieving unmatched ecological integrity without compromising on style.
