dominant – namely limestone, sandstone, bluestone or quartzite. Rough concrete has gained acceptance as a stylish cladding, and plaster has not gone out of fashion. Roof tiles are now spilling over onto the gables. An example of successful combinations is adding an all-glass extension to an old, rough stone building. Another is using openwork wooden cladding on white-painted walls. Plaster and wood complement each other well. Footings made of large stones and a main floor of thin brick also work well in a design.
Case studies
A new build project in Newport-on-Tay, Fife, designed by BlackDog Architecture, mixes tones and textures on the facade to create a unique and contemporary property. The homeowners wanted the architects to create a low maintenance home while still being aesthetically striking in its scenic surroundings. Pairing wood effect ‘Cedral Click’ fibre cement cladding in white with soft tone in muted shades provided a different lighter tone and contrasting texture that complemented the overall design.
Stone and weatherboards also combine successfully to give a new lease of life to a

dilapidated 1970s house in the Ranmoor Conservation area in South Yorkshire. The fact that the building was in a conservation area could have posed a problem, and initially the homeowners faced some challenges from the local authority planning office. This choice for the facade received planning however, and the use of the two different materials provided a new contemporary look for a dated exterior.
Advice on combinations There are endless combinations that might work – both practically and aesthetically – and some tips for achieving a harmonious result include keeping the number of materials/colours used down to a maximum of two or three – too much input can overwhelm the eye. Alternating a warm shade with a darker one always looks effective. On the other hand, using the same material in two different configurations, such as using the same bricks horizontally and vertically, does not give good results. Respect the alignments, otherwise the lines of perspective will lose cohesion, and importantly, consider the environment, the surrounding buildings, and the context.
