Clean lines and a traditional feel for a new home in Shrewsbury

One of the great things about timber is its sheer versatility. It is used in housebuilding in many often unseen ways but because it’s such a natural material more and more architects are using timber cladding as a way of making new homes look both traditional and modern at exactly the same time.

This new home near Shrewsbury is a case in point. Set in rural surroundings #Ransfords larch cladding gives it an immediate sense of belonging. However, the clean lines and sharp edge detail made possible by the cladding give it an entirely contemporary look. Of course, the best thing is that our cladding, unlike many other construction materials, does grow on trees!
