For this residential project in South London, property developer Silvercrow selected ThermoWood^® Ayous cladding to achieve a refined, modern aesthetic with warm, natural appeal. The lightweight, stable characteristics of ThermoWood^® Ayous made it ideal for creating a sleek, minimalist façade that will weather beautifully over time.

Clean lines with vertical shadow gap profiles

The facade combines two complementary vertical shadow gap profiles, both installed with a hidden nail system, creating subtle rhythm and depth across the exterior. One profile features a single vertical shadow gap, while the other introduces a double shadow gap detail, adding a refined variation to the timber cladding. The use of untreated ThermoWood^® Ayous allows the wood to weather naturally, maturing into an elegant silver grey tone that perfectly complements the home’s contemporary design.

Why ThermoWood^® Ayous?

• Excellent stability after thermal modification
• Lightweight and easy to work with
• Smooth, refined look suitable for modern architecture
• Ages naturally without coatings
• Sustainable hardwood alternative
