Shou Sugi Cladding
Shou Sugi Ban is an ancient Japanese method of preserving wood by charring its surface, creating a striking, durable, and weather-resistant finish.
The burning process not only enhances the woods natural beauty but also provides protection against rot, pests, and harsh weather conditions, making it an excellent choice for external cladding.
For this contemporary garden annexe, the cladding is created using Kebony Radiata Pine, which combines the elegance of the Shou Sugi Ban technique with a rich, deep finish.
The Kebony treatment enhances the pine’s durability and sustainability, resulting in a long-lasting, eco-friendly material that brings a modern yet natural look to the garden annexe’s exterior.
Sedum Roof
A sedum roof is covered with a layer of sedum plants, a hardy, low-maintenance succulent that thrives in various climates, making it an ideal choice for green roofing.
This type of roof offers several environmental benefits, including improved insulation, reduced storm water runoff, and enhanced biodiversity.
Sedum roofs also help regulate the temperature inside the building, making it more energy-efficient, while blending the structure with its natural surroundings for a more sustainable and aesthetically pleasing design.
Unique features
To achieve a rustic yet sustainable appearance, the interior walls have been ply-lined, adding warmth and character to the space.
This bespoke ply lining brings together natural materials in a harmonious way, resulting in a cosy and inviting atmosphere.
The interior of the garden annexe has been thoughtfully customised to craft a unique and welcoming space.
The clients chose to incorporate 4 meters of ceiling roof lights, which bathe the room in natural light, creating a bright and airy ambiance that fosters a sense of well-being and a strong connection to the surrounding nature.
