Timber look screening referencing the gable silhouette of a private residence in Camberwell, Victoria, creates a striking facade that invites natural light and maximises privacy for its residents.

Designed by Neil Architecture, the sleek, linear residential facade is clad in Covet’s Ever Art Wood timber look aluminium battens. Modern, minimalist, and comfortable amidst the native Australian landscaping, the timber look batten screening with a textured finish sits off the structure creating depth, and mirrors the silhouette of the home, both reinforcing its geometry and providing a shielded front to the street.

A tilt lift garage door has been seamlessly integrated into the home’s facade, with the lightweight Kabebari battens at only ~700gm per lineal metre making this possible.

The 2-part Kabebari battens are simply screwed and snapped together to create a finished batten look. All fixings are concealed, resulting in a dimensionally perfect, uninterrupted linear aesthetic.

The batten detailing continues through to the entrance, with perfectly mitred corners adjoining the facade to a batten covered entry.

Particularly stunning by night, with interior and exterior light illuminating the angular silhouette, this build certainly delivers on the brief of a dream home.
