Project details
Design Ben Rilot Associates
Build Cregduff Construction
Completion date July 2018
Manufacturer Corell Architectural Timber
Product Kuusi 140*19 Classic, Clear oil
Location Galway | Ireland
This charred timber cladded house in Galway was designed and built as a holiday home for the clients. Careful attention was given to the type of cladding products as the clients didn't want to be tied into scheduled maintenance cycles. Therefore it was agreed to charr the cladding and apply a coat of clear oil. The oil was only necessary to avoid sut rubbing off on clothes, or washing down onto the fresh groundswork with the first rainfall.
Over an 18 month period the cladding aged to a beautiful silver weathered patina but then exudes brown tones again during the enevitable rainy weather on the west coast.
