Do you like timber clad houses?

Timber for an external cladding choice is so versatile, there is quite a range in the materials, colours, installation method and finishes that you can select.  This house in Seattle is a beautiful example of how timber can be used to create a modern home. 

 

Ive never been a timber girl but have been slowly warming to it more and more because of places like these...they really create a beautiful architecturally interesting home.

The external cladding for this house is a composition of painted fibre cement which provides a neutral background for the natural cedar timber. Internally there is a contrast of black windows with white walls, and accents of natural cedar mixed with blackened steel.

Its a stylish mix of materials and creates a modern industrial style home but with a warm natural feel.
