Builder: Rohrig
Product: DecoClad Narrowline cladding
Colour: DecoWood® Natural Silky Oak
This superbly designed function centre in the Southern Highlands, New South Wales, has been constructed on the same grounds as the existing Zen Oasis Garden Restaurant.
Originally built in 1948, the owners wanted to incorporate the unique rustic characteristics of the pre-existing building into their new, one-of-a-kind facility, which includes a restaurant, function centre, conference rooms, workshop and yoga studio.
Builders Rohrig have achieved the desired 'country charm' aesthetic by using over 3000sqm of DecoClad®'s aluminium cladding across the entire building façade. Originally specified external timber cladding, Rohrig respecified to DecoClad's 135mm Narrowline aluminium profile to ensure the future-proofing and reduced maintenance of the property. It also meant that they could minimise the project schedule thanks to DecoClad's easy install system, that offers a fast cladding solution.
DecoWood®'s Natural Silky Oak™ from the Australian Native Species collection was specified, as it paired perfectly with the location's natural surroundings and stunning lake. As well as providing a low-maintenance product that is UV resistant, the cladding boards are also made from 100% solid aluminium and are completely non-combustible, offering a suitable fire-safe solution.
