House 19

House 19 Architect: Jestico + Whiles Client: Heinz Richardson Awards Won: RIBA South Award 2016 Photography Credit: Grant Smith House 19 is a two storey dwelling and by Using Shou Sugi Ban in multiple widths they have created a building which stands out for aesthetic detail rather than size. Incorporating corten steel around the windows and doors adds a contemporary vibe alongside detailed the flint work adding a traditionally local material to the exterior. Taking careful consideration with the impact of the building they reduced the height on the southern elevation to a single storey; this forms a very eccentric pitched roof. This has also been done to take full advantage of the photovoltaic cells; the integration of these is both subtle and elegant. This is a modest house that reflects the style and quality of the design. We worked with the Architect closely to achieve the finish they wanted with our bespoke Shou Sugi Ban. Enhanced Grain – Kyoka sa reta Kokumotsu was the chosen product allowing the effect of burnt timber aesthetics in terms of visual and textured appeal. When in reality this finish hasn’t yet seen a flame. venetia@exteriorsolutionsltd.co.uk www.shousugiban.co.uk 01494 291 033
