Weathering: materials by the sea

Weathering: materials by the sea — ALTO journal cover

A new building is the least interesting version of itself. We design for the patina that salt air, sun and rain will bring over the years.

Timber silvers, copper greens, lime render softens. We detail for this — protecting what must last, and letting the rest weather gracefully into the landscape.

A house that ages well needs less from its owners and gives more back. Maintenance becomes care, not repair.
