Colour families
We hold no photograph of this finish on one of our own projects, so this page does not show one. Everything above is a colour family, not a picture of a material.
Wood
Thermally modified wood
Softwood cooked at high heat until the sugars that fungus and insects want are gone. Real wood, more stable than the board it started as, and it still weathers if you leave it to.
Signature cost band
The middle band. Where most of our projects land once the yard is seen as a whole.
