Wonder on the Wirral
Accoya®, the world-leading modified wood, has been used as the stand-out feature in a radical transformation of a modest 1960s bungalow to create a stunning contemporary UK family home.
The far-sighted renovation of Stuart and Rosie Treasurer’s “ugly duckling” dormer bungalow, lying in a leafy suburb in the Wirral, Merseyside, hit the headlines when featured on TV’s Grand Designs programme in November.
In an ambitious 12-month building project, their home was stripped to its ground-floor walls with a first-floor being completely reconstructed as a spectacular rectangular wooden box, with raw Accoya boards used for external cladding and fine sawn boards for internal decoration.
Around eight cubic metres of Accoya was used for both the external and internal cladding, supplied by Accoya distributor James Latham
