Abodo Vulcan Cladding in Protector - Nero was an obvious choice for this project, both for its beauty and its durability.
The dark finish creates black gabled forms that are almost shadow-like behind the treeline that wraps the foreshore. When viewed from the lake, the home is disguised, but the material details start to reveal themselves as you approach.
As designer Braeden Scally puts it: “I’m a big believer that buildings should get better the closer you get.”
The dark Abodo Vulcan Cladding, Alabama blue rubble, and full glass windows provide a great contrast that blends seamlessly into the lakeside landscape.
