PROJECT FOCUS
Bobbie Curley , Director at BoBen Construction , commented : “ From the outset , we envisaged Bilton Fields would comprise a cluster of beautifully designed rural buildings , characteristic of a “ vernacular farmstead ” with low-key sustainable elements . Kebony wood by Shou Sugi Ban had a large part to play in enabling this , providing a striking exterior to our carefully crafted homes , which are sleek in appearance and sustainable in outlook . We are delighted with the final product which has already proven to be extremely popular with homebuyers .”
Nina Landbø , International Sales Manager at Kebony , added – “ It is brilliant to see Kebony wood used in this new luxury residential development . In selecting Charred Kebony Cladding by Shou Sugi Ban , the Bilton Field project recognises the importance of using sustainably sourced materials which are aesthetically pleasing . The wood itself requires little maintenance , and comes with the promise of high durability and stability , making it the perfect choice for construction companies who are looking to reduce their carbon footprint .
