There’s something deeply satisfying about timber cladding. It goes beyond the visual warmth or the natural texture — it’s the way a timber-clad home feels alive. Unlike synthetic materials, timber breathes, ages, and changes. It evolves alongside the people living inside it.
Among all timber choices, Siberian larch has become a favourite for homeowners and architects alike — and for good reason.

Most modern building materials are engineered for uniformity. They are straight, still, and silent. But timber is different. Especially larch.
Siberian larch is dense, durable, resin-rich and naturally weather-resistant. When it wraps a home, it turns that house into something closer to a living organism. It regulates moisture, tempers acoustics, softens light, and gives a tactile texture to everyday life.
