The great thing about designing your own home is you can often make a statement with the design. You could choose materials that stand out for their colour, texture, and longevity. Coffey Architects can help you here. We create some of the most attractive residential architecture London has to offer.

One thing you may want to think about is using black materials. They can make a real statement and convey all kinds of values. There are lots of great options too. You can find out more about a few of them below.

Corrugated steel

Cladding a building in steel sheeting can create a really amazing aesthetic. Choosing black sheets can take this to the next level, making the home look sleek and elegant. If you want a strong visual appeal, this could be the perfect material for you.

Timber

Black timbers are also really fantastic materials if you want to make a statement. You have lots of options here, including lattices. One of the most interesting choices is tarred timber. It is very popular in Europe and can make a property stand out. The tar also preserves the wood, making it last longer in all kinds of weathers.

Brick

In the UK you will primarily see red, orange, and yellow shades of brick. However, they are not the only options. Black bricks are a really great choice. They give you a chance to play with texture and pattern, especially with different types of bond. At the same time they have the undeniable modern look.

Folded concrete

Most people imagine dreary grey colours when they think about concrete. However, it does not have to be this way. In fact, you could opt for lots of different colours thanks to the various additives that can go into the mix. Black is one of the best options here. It can create some really impressive forms, whether it is sweeping curves or angles.
