Designed as an extension of the surrounding landscape, Gibsons Landing Residence by Keck Architecture + Design pairs Vulcan Timber Cladding finished in the natural, silvery tones of Sioo:x Wood Coating with a combination of pale stone and tiling, resulting in a cohesive and calming home by the sea.

The foundation of an existing home on this site was retained in this build, with new structures added to give the family of homeowners greater space and options as they grew. The home is entirely clad in vertically mounted Vulcan, with the Sioo:x coating chosen as a means of obtaining a natural look, similar to silvered off cedar, but with greater durability due to the thermal modification process undertaken in its manufacturing. This finish also provides a softness to the exterior, which is in keeping with the colour palette of the landscape on the Sunshine Coast.

The timber-lined entryway is particularly welcoming, with a timber seat laid on a concrete base carrying through into the entry foyer, where it is backed by a wall of tiles. The warm tones of the timber also carry through from exterior soffits to interior ceilings, extending the sense of cohesiveness between inside and outside.
