Abodo® exists to create feature timbers that stand for something, a movement toward sustainable innovation and better forestry practices.

At Abodo® we're transforming timber design with sustainable, innovative, rapidly renewable alternatives that supersede old growth.

We've redefined what's possible with timber by combining sustainable sourcing with advanced technology. Our New Growth™ feature timber range includes cladding, decking, screening, panelling and joinery.

Formed in 2001 by the Gudsell family, Abodo remains a New Zealand-owned, family business that stands for something.

Wellness architecture is about more than buildings. It's about creating spaces that help people slow down, reconnect and restore.

Wrapped in Abodo Vulcan® Shingles, Yutori Sauna is a beautifully crafted mobile retreat designed to immerse guests in the restorative experience of heat, nature and community. Over time, the timber exterior will weather naturally to a soft driftwood-grey, deepening its connection to the coastal landscape. Built using sustainably sourced New Zealand timber, the project demonstrates how natural materials can support both wellbeing and environmental responsibility.

Form, function and beauty, on a leafy street in Mount Maunganui.

This four-bedroom family home makes the most of a 420 sqm north-facing site. A two-storey façade clad in Vulcan® timber sits above a block base, with a timber screen and garage door that carry the same warm tone across the street frontage.

Vulcan® Cladding is a genuine alternative to Western Red Cedar.

We had cedar from Auckland building stock tree-ring tested. Three of the ten samples were at least 400 years old.[1] Vulcan is rapidly renewable New Zealand Radiata, heat tempered and ready to harvest in as little as 27 years, from Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certified plantations.

After 7.5 years of outdoor testing, it significantly outperformed Canadian Western Red Cedar heartwood on decay resistance.[2]

Every arrival starts at the entrance, setting the tone and feel before you even step inside.

Timber gives an entrance warmth and tactility, a small hand to nature every time it opens and closes. Vulcan® timber works across the whole door, from cladding and panelling on door fronts to solid Vulcan Joinery framing glazed entrances. It’s a natural fit for an entrance.

A pergola gives an outdoor room its shape.

Vulcan® has become a go-to timber for pergolas, from landscaped gardens to commercial entrances. Heat tempered for stability, it stays true through adverse weather and changes in temperature, and it can span wide distances without excessive bracing, so designs can stay simple, chunky and linear.

It is lightweight, which builders appreciate, and its natural texture gives the finish architects and homeowners are looking for. Run it overhead as louvres for shade across a deck or terrace.

Elm Grove steps down a steep, wooded lakefront site in Milwaukee, following the land instead of imposing on it. Vetter Architects terraced the home towards the water, with glazing that grows more generous as the house rises, drawing the woodland inside.

Wrapping the home in timber grounds its modern form in the landscape. Vulcan® Cladding in Protector™ Teak gives the façade warmth and texture, and its clear vertical grain keeps the look refined across every level.

On a waterside site, the timber also had to perform. Made from rapidly renewable New Zealand Radiata and heat tempered using heat and steam, Vulcan absorbs less moisture and stays stable without chemical preservatives. Abodo's vertical grain engineering helps the boards stay straight through changing weather.

Swipe through to see how Elm Grove sits within nature.

We asked a lineup of leading industry experts - filmed live at the immersive Lost Oasis event in London - where the design and building world is heading over the next 5 years.

From scaling up passive design principles to meeting growing demands for lower-impact, high-value building solutions, one thing is clear: timber is moving front and center as a primary palette for sustainable architecture.

After three years of weathering in the harsh Western Australian climate, the Black Box home by Valento Homes remains a showcase of Vulcan Cladding.

Coated in the rich, deep tones of Protector™ - Ebony, the timber performed exceptionally well - proving you can achieve sustainable design and bold aesthetics without compromise. 🖤

Thermally modified for exceptional dimensional stability, Vulcan is built to handle hot, dry conditions while maintaining its dark finish and high-impact style for years to come.

The cladding had one factory coat of Protector - Ebony, and then two more after installation.
