Award-winning Bermagui Beach House was designed by Winter Architecture as a reimagining of a beloved family retreat. Drawing inspiration from the area’s coastal surroundings, Winter Architecture refined the informal character of the classic Australian beach house by wrapping the home in Spotted Gum cladding instead of the traditional weatherboard. In order to further reflect the tone and atmosphere of the surrounding area, the external timber cladding was deliberately weathered while the interior offers an elegant minimalist iteration of the nearby landscape.

By being situated on the coast of New South Wales, Bermagui Beach House is consistently inundated with sandy, wet winds. Due to the porous nature of timber, a strong coating was necessary to protect against these harsh elements. CUTEK® Extreme CD50 was selected and is the optimal choice for this project as it provides powerful protection against extreme environments. Manufactured to repel water, CUTEK® Extreme CD50 helps to prevent cupping, warping and splitting in timber, extending its service-life and minimising maintenance. Furthermore, the CUTEK® Extreme CD50 was applied as a clear oil to the cladding, allowing the timber to be the star of the design and silver-off over time. This choice meant Bermagui Beach House’s aesthetic complemented the surrounding environment without having to compromise on timber protection.

CUTEK® Extreme CD50 highlights the natural beauty of timber while providing powerful protection. For more information about this award-winning project, head to Bermagui Beach House — Winter Architecture

About the
Professional

CUTEK® began as a problem solver in the market. We understood that timber is beautiful, however because it is a natural resource, it can have some inherent problems when using it to create lasting structures. The original CUTEK® formula was created to displace water from timber, giving it increased dimensional stability. We have then evolved to create other formulas included CUTEK® Wood Preservative, a decorative wood coating (that is able to be coloured) which makes timber resistant to mould, fungus and termites while also keeping it dimensionally stable.

CUTEK® is forever anticipating change and need. If someone wants to use timber in a unique way, or in a unique setting, we want to work alongside them, troubleshooting the problem towards an inspired solution.

We have always been, and always will be, champions for the use of the timber in the building industry. If you want to use it, we will help you find a way.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
