RIBA Award Winning Zinc and Timber Design on Stilts

VMZINC’s standing seam cladding system in ANTHRA-ZINC® has been used on ‘Hind House’, a 242m2 flat roof dwelling built on raised columns on flood plain.

It won the RIBA Southern Region Award for design, Henry Goss of John Pardey Architects commenting, “….We liked the colour range and texture of VM Zinc’s pre-weathered cladding and as we wanted to retain the colour contrast between timber and metal, opted for a combination of the dark Anthra-Zinc with a light natural timber. The end result is restrained but distinctive. Zinc offers very clear benefits in terms of long-term performance, and we could not have achieved what we did using any other metal”.
