Cottesloe House :: Custom Abodo® Vulcan Timber Slats

By Jocelyn Mahan In /

DETAILS

Location:
Perth, Australia

Exterior Cladding & Slats:
Custom Abodo® Vulcan Slats with two coats of Straw Protector Oil and one coat of Teak Protector Oil
175mm x 40mm in 3m lengths for the slats
100mm x 40mm in 4.8 m lengths for the cabana ceiling

The Cottesloe House features many foundational materials, including timber cladding, solid timber slats, white render, black Milano render, and concrete. This luxurious private residence, designed to face a park, faced a challenge. The architect selected the solid Vulcan timber slats due to the problem of the direct western sunlight.

The slats were slotted from behind and anchored onto a steel plate, resulting in no visible fixings from the home’s front or sides. Similar techniques were used on the cabana ceiling, attaching rods to the battens to help keep them straight and create a hidden fixing system.

The custom Vulcan Timber has two coats of Straw Protector Oil and one coat of Teak Protector Oil. Vulcan timber’s proven durability and stability are ideal for the dry environment of Western Australia.

Abodo’s thermally modified timbers stand the test of time, they are beautiful, durable, and sustainable. Even better, they’re safe for people and the environment.

CLEAR :: Abodo® Vulcan Decking

Sir John James Patrick Kirwan is a New Zealand rugby union coach and former player of both rugby union and rugby league. Chris Tate Architecture had the pleasure of designing Mr. Kirwan’s holiday home which is located in New Zealand.

The exterior entertaining space includes stadium-style stairs overlooking the lawn, and a covered barbecue area. The deck needed to be substantial since the summer months are largely spent outdoors. Vulcan Decking finished with Clear Protector Oil provides a low-maintenance finish that will silver off as it weathers to provide the longest possible life between maintenance cycles. Plus, it’s made using a waterborne formulation, which means it is safe on bare feet and won’t leach chemicals into the environment.

Chris Tate designs buildings of outstanding and unique modernity. Each of his designs is as individual and daring as his imagination will go. Statements that create a lasting impression on the world. To make a unique, visionary statement of your own, have a word with Chris Tate.

NERO :: Vulcan Cladding

Located in the hills of Hamilton, Brisbane, Zephyr Industries designed an entertainer’s high-end paradise.

Stretching from Prospect Terrace to Gray Street this residence cuts a silhouette into the city with its blackened, split triangular forms. NERO Protector Oil on Vulcan timber frames the Brisbane city skyline.

Breaking tradition, this residence follows a dark and textured aesthetic; Vulcan timber cladding with NERO Protector Oil, blackened off form concrete, metal sheeting, glass and vegetation creep down the hill.

To create a range of spatial ties to the outside, whether it is views of the city and river or to beautiful landscaping, a program of vertical spaces were created.

Vulcan Decking is created from thermally modified New Zealand plantation timber. It’s treated with an organic preservative system that includes water repellent for superior durability. NERO was designed especially for Vulcan timber, to provide the longest possible life between maintenance cycles.

This residence spans five stories with 11,000 square feet of living space and unobstructed river and city views from every level.

Vulcan timber is so lightweight, the material was used on the garage doors as well.

SiOO:X :: Vulcan Cladding

Nestled in Taupo’s Hilltop suburb this residence features Abodo’s Vulcan timber in SiOO:X finish, used extensively throughout the exterior of the home. Details extend from the front door to the spacious “all-weather” barbeque area. Built as a show home by Design Builders Taupo, this house is no standard build.

SiOO:X Wood Protection on Abodo® Vulcan Cladding by reSAWN TIMBER co. for exterior cladding features a water-based and environmentally friendly finish, with a unique, patented formula based on silicon-potassium designed to accelerate the natural weathering process.

Weathered wood is an aesthetic that is increasingly sought after but the challenge is, how to achieve it without taking the risk of uneven weathering on different aspects of the building, or in protected areas, such as overhanging eaves. Design Builders achieved a point of difference by utilizing the WB10 profile in random width, combined with the scandi-style SiOO:X finish, which will gradually silver to a soft low maintenance patina.

SiOO:X provides a solution by mirroring the natural aging process and accelerating the creation of the silver-grey appearance and giving long life protection in a completely environmentally friendly way. SiOO:X penetrates the wood and gives a light surface that is pleasant to touch. Apart from the surface being beautiful, it also is a barrier to algae, mold and rot from gaining a hold in the wood. The surface is very easy to wipe down making maintenance simpler. The SiOO:X treatment reinforces and strengthens the wood surface.
