Broome Street Residence

Mortlock Timber’s PROPLANK 40×60 Battens in Burnt Ash were supplied pre-oiled and installed with a 20mm spacing as the feature cladding for this standout residential project in Broome, Western Australia.

The battens create clean vertical lines across the façade, adding rhythm and refinement to the architecture. Their deep, charcoal finish offers a striking contrast against the crisp render, drawing the eye and highlighting the home’s sculptural form.

Selected for its natural durability and dimensional stability, Burnt Ash is not only a visually bold choice but also a practical one, delivering long-term performance in challenging climates.

Set against the vivid backdrop of Broome’s tropical landscape, where red earth meets the Indian Ocean, the project demanded a cladding solution that could withstand intense heat, humidity, and coastal exposure. Burnt Ash proved ideal, combining robust resilience with distinctive visual appeal, and reinforcing Mortlock Timber’s reputation for providing premium materials tailored to the Australian environment.
