In rural Aberdeenshire, a traditional 18th century granite cottage has entered the 21st century with a slick timber-clad extension. Briefed with creating a home for their client to spend the rest of his days in, designer Polka sought to marry old and new, with the main living areas accommodated in a purpose-built open plan extension flooded with natural light.
Traditional form
Replicating the local vernacular architecture, the extension takes a traditional form. The designers wanted to achieve a seamless, elegant aesthetic, selecting SILA Select® Siberian Larch RW014 horizontal timber cladding, which has fewer knots to distract the eye and will weather to a silvery-grey that visually connects with the earthy palette of the surrounding land and the existing granite stonework.
Slick finish
The slick finish is achieved through minimal detailing around the eaves, windows arranged flush to the boards and hidden gutters and downpipes.
Finally, FassadenClip® fixing clips allow for secret fixings and ensure there are no visual distractions along the surface of the cladding.
