The look of genuine timber has long been prized for the warm, luxury feel it brings to a space. Bringing a biophilic aspect to the built environment through the use of wood can also improve the health and wellbeing of those who experience it.
Timber look battens from the Ever Art Wood collection by Covet International were used in combination with concrete to deliver a distinctly modern aesthetic to the façade of a private residence in Flinders.
Located in the seaside town on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, the home’s facade comprises of finishes that are beautiful and built to last.
The charred black timber cladding on the property’s east is reminiscent of Shou Sugi Ban, a centuries-old Japanese technique that preserves timber by torching it with fire to create a beautiful textured, ebony finish. This is paired perfectly with timber look Ever Art Wood battens in Burakku Erumu, which add further interest and texture to the facade.
