Chen house, Brunswick

Brief

A new extension required external cladding that would integrate with the existing brick home while making a contemporary statement. The clients wanted natural materials that would age gracefully.

Our solution

We installed vertical timber cladding using sustainable hardwood with a natural oil finish. The timber is detailed with shadow lines to create visual rhythm, and the vertical orientation draws the eye upward, making the extension feel more substantial. Strategic placement of cladding also conceals gutters and services.

Outcome

The timber cladding beautifully bridges old and new, creating a cohesive whole that celebrates both the original home and its modern addition. The natural timber has already begun to develop character, and the detail work showcases precision craftsmanship.
