Cantilever House

Abodo Vulcan Cladding in Teak was chosen to help blend Cantilever House with its landscaped, tree-lined setting.

Originally built in 1976, this Washington DC home was redesigned with large scale windows and cantilevered forms to capitalise on sunlight and views of the tree-lined property. When it came to cladding, Abodo Vulcan in a Teak coating was specified to further blend the home with its natural setting.

Made from FSC® certified, thermally modified New Zealand plantation pine, the cladding is an eco-friendly alternative to old growth timbers such as cedar.

As well as having a similar look and feel to these timbers and a comparable level of hardiness, the product also requires less maintenance due to being coated in Abodo Protector, which uses a combination of plant oils to provide optimal UV, moisture and fungal protection. This makes it an apt choice for a verdant setting such as this one.
