Inverness AquaDome perhaps represents the tradition of timber cladding. Set among trees, the wood and the strutted design reflect the origins of the material.

On the right however, is a city centre Church in Edinburgh - its new halls make a bold statement valuing the material for itself and not simply as a reflection of the building's surroundings.

Cladding - a bright modern statement

In recent years timber cladding has added a bright modern statement to cityscapes and town architecture.

Seen in the past as a material which might only be considered in a rural building, the benefits in terms of construction and thermal properties as well as the aesthetic appeal are now being recognised and pursued.

Species such as western red cedar, renowned for its resistance to pests and decay and valued for its weathered down appearance, are being proposed by architects and accepted by planners and clients alike.

Christie has long experience in major projects which feature the beauty and practical appeal of timber cladding.

Natural Beauty

Everyone values the tranquillity of woodland.

More and more this feeling is being brought to our busy towns and cities by timber cladding in our buildings.
