Built into a rugged hillside overlooking the extensive natural coastline in South Wales, a new-build family home with a sustainable vision is now complete. Designed by award-winning architects, Loyn + Co, the home which blends naturally into the verdant landscape and sits beneath towering pine trees, makes extensive use of Kebony, a global leader in the production of sustainable wood, for the home’s façade.
The design brief for the build was to make the most of the beautiful views, capturing the potential of the sensitive location, in addition to prioritising the contextual importance of the site, topography and existing trees. The family home, which has been cut into the valley side amongst established trees, makes extensive use of Kebony, which diverts the need for deforestation by transforming sustainable wood species such as pine into Kebony wood with features that are comparable, and in some cases superior, to those of precious tropical hardwoods.
On behalf of Kebony, The Communication Group plc announced this stunning, sustainable build which considers its natural surroundings, with coverage secured across key architectural and design publications. Highlight pieces have been featured in the likes of Wallpaper*, Archello, i-Build, Built It, Creative Build Magazine and Design Buy Build.
