Modern Arc, a design and build company based in London, have collaborated with Vastern Timber on many projects. This project was possibly the most challenging, being in a tight spot in the centre of London. The client had decided upon a timber clad exterior but understood that many species can react badly to the pollution and shading common in the capital. Collectively the decision was made to use Brimstone ash because of it's natural durability, stability and it's tendency to weather well even in challenging conditions. Brimstone ash is thermally modified, British grown ash produced by Vastern Timber. The cladding on this project consisted of a 20mm board and a 33mm fin fitted alternately. Doors and joinery were also produced from Brimstone ash.

Self build in forest setting, designed and built by two architects, Liam and Mark. The two chose Canadian western red cedar cladding to wrap the entire building. Originally oak had been chosen but the contractors favoured cedar because of the ease of fitting> Liam and Mark are now sold on cedar and have since completed another build named Powers House which is also clad in cedar.

British cedar cladding offers a British grown and cheaper alternative to Canadian cedar. Although British cedar is more knotty, it's stability and natural durability make it ideal for external timber cladding. British cedar is sourced exclusively from woodlands in England and Wales.

Designer and builder Alex Clifford intended to renovate and extend the 1950's bungalow but it soon became clear that the project would require demolition and a full re-build. The site of the house offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and is located near an area of natural woodland. As well as reaching the highest levels of energy efficiency, Alex was also keen to minimise the visual impact of the building. After testing a number of imported modified timber products for the exterior cladding, Alex settled on Brismtone ash, the thermally modified British ash product produced by Vastern Timber. His reasoning was that he liked the grain and the fact that it was made from locally grown material.

The conversion of two 18th Century miner's cottages into stunning contemporary dwellings has earned Bristol-based architects Design Storey both a RIBA award and the Daily Telegraph Homebuilding and Renovating award 2016. One of the keys to achieving this was the addition of a new extension which used Vastern Timber's Siberian larch cladding. The exterior was landscaped with untreated Siberian larch decking. The Siberian larch cladding and decking was produced to fit modules dictated by the client. The client treated the cladding with a dark stain to create an aged appearance.

Mark Camillan and Liam Denny have a good track record of designing and building ambitious projects. Both for short term lets and as a part time residence Powers House follows hot on the heals of Fir View. Both of these builds are tied together by designs that are both modern but at the same time in keeping with the rural settings within which they are located. Both of these builds are also ties together by the fact that they are clad almost exclusively in Canadian cedar cladding supplied by Vastern Timber. Powers house makes use of other materials such as flint, Zinc and another of Vastern Timber's products, Brimstone ash for the decking.
