Residential home Woolacombe Bay

Residential home Woolacombe Bay

Studio Fuse realised this contemporary new build four bedroom home overlooking Woolacombe Bay in North Devon. The client had purchased a restricted access plot of land, chosen for its breath taking sea views perched on a steeply sloping Devonshire hillside. This exposed, yet stunning location, along with planning restrictions influenced the form which evolved into a single storey building that nestled into the sites gradient.

Externally the building is clad in Naoshima. Vertical cladding strips give a striking textual aesthetic that nestles into its context with a sophisticated yet rustic confidence.
Internally the building makes sense of the contoured site with the creation of three flowing terraced levels dropping down the hillside, reflecting the surrounding landscape.

Thorstein

“We recently replaced the potted decked timber on our farmhouse in the Beemster region with Shodoshima semi-gloss from Zwarthout l Shou Sugi Ban. With special planks 25 cm wide, it looks great on a farmhouse. A very beautiful product and great service from Zwarthout l Shou Sugi Ban!”

”We chose Yoroi for several reasons. First of all, we like the Japanese classical technique used for burning the bamboo. Due to the burning technique Shou Sugi Ban, Yoroi has a fire class B and is maintenance-free. Finally, the black charred bamboo is a regrowable material and aesthetically matches our design perfectly.”

We have put together two Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban sample boxes: one for interior design applications and one for façade cladding.

That way, you can experience the attention, care and love we pour into each piece of wood yourself. And, of course, the beauty and exclusive looks the various textures have to offer.
