The choice of exterior materials to the building  has been made with regard to longevity and minimal maintenance, and with regard to empathy and compatibility with the landscape.  With copper walls and roof (in green) and timber boarding along with sand coloured render, to allow the building to become part of the landscape and change over the years.
