Breathing new life into the home, FTLO turned Garden House into a striking Modern Classical transformation that demonstrates how thoughtful exterior design can dramatically improve a home. Located in a termite-prone area with a Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating of 12.5, material selection was a key consideration. Hardie™ Oblique™ Cladding, Hardie™ Brushed Concrete Cladding, Hardie™ 14mm Aluminium External Slimline Corner and Hardie™ Wrap Weather Barrier were selected as part of a system designed to deliver durability, dimensional stability and low maintenance requirements over time.
