The natural colours of the surroundings were the inspiration for the house’s colour palette. Swisspearl fibre cement panels, balcony railings, and visible parts of the load-bearing structure are built in subdued gray-green hues. The timber facade paneling in Accoya wood has a warm, natural tone and the aluminium frames of the doors and windows are powder coated in black. By combining fibre cement panels on the outer skin and timber cladding on the inner facade surfaces a lively effect has been created on the elevations. Swisspearl panels were chosen for their aesthetics and durability in the long, wet winters. The panels have been cut into long, vertical formats that are nailed to a perforated 25 × 120 cm steel profile.
