State House

Material Study

The heart of the house will be made up of NZ native timber (stained). This will give the house some cultural significance. I have then decided to use zinc cladding on the exterior of the timber house. This will give it extra protection against the rain. The reason why this is such a good option to run with is that zinc cladding is very environmentally friendly. It is 100% recyclable and has a habit of preventing things like moss or  mold. The rain water will easily drip off the roof and into the pools around the base of the house, and will be very clean. This will mean less cleaning and saves time. These two materials work well together and will give the house a very modern look which is one of the ideas I am trying to produce.
