The concept of Cohaus is not a new one, but for modern city-dwellers, it may feel like a breath of fresh air. Residents of the twenty units share facilities and therefore also expenses - electricity, internet, laundry facilities and even cars - and, for those with families, the children run free together in the courtyard and gardens.

In the construction of the terraced and apartment buildings, the designers were careful to choose products and materials that encapsulated the sustainability ethos of the project. This included using Abodo Vulcan vertical weatherboards on the Courtyard block and Abodo Vulcan Decking for the elevated decks on the Surrey block. The decking product is also used for the external staircase for the Surrey block and for the villa decking, with Vulcan timber screening around the carpark and utility areas.

Protector - Straw and Protector End Sealer finish the timber, allowing its natural tones and textures to shine through.
