Project overview

In the coastal town of Gorliz, in the Basque Country (Vizcaya), a modern single-family home has been enhanced with Accoya wood to deliver long-lasting performance, natural beauty and architectural coherence. Completed in 2024, the project combines external cladding, Accoya windows and Accoya doors, creating a harmonious and durable building envelope perfectly suited to the local climate.

The project was carried out by Ventaclim, a Spanish specialist in high-quality building solutions, with a clear focus on materials that combine aesthetics, sustainability and reliability.

Accoya wood at the heart of the design

For this residential project, Accoya Natural was selected for both the façade elements and the outer faces of the joinery. Using Accoya wood across these elements ensures visual consistency while providing outstanding durability and dimensional stability; essential qualities in a location exposed to humidity, wind and salt-laden air.

A beautiful dark brown finish was applied to the cladding, windows and doors; and thanks to Accoya performances, the homeowners and Ventaclim are confident in its long-lasting appearance and enhanced protection.

The windows and doors in this project have been designed with a dual-material approach to optimise both performance and comfort. On the exterior, Accoya wood is used for its exceptional resistance to moisture, stability and durability.

Ventaclim’s choice to work using Accoya wood is motivated by delivering windows and doors that perform exceptionally well externally, while creating a welcoming interior aesthetic.

Thanks to Accoya’s stability, the joinery benefits from precise detailing, reliable long-term performance and reduced movement over time — key factors for energy efficiency and user comfort.

Why Accoya wood was the ideal choice

Accoya wood offers a unique combination of performance, sustainability and design freedom, making it particularly well suited to residential projects in demanding environments.

Key benefits of Accoya wood include:

• Outstanding dimensional stability, reducing swelling and shrinkage
• Exceptional durability and resistance to rot, even in humid or coastal conditions
• Low maintenance requirements over its service life
• Excellent performance for Accoya windows and Accoya doors, ensuring long-term precision
• Sustainably sourced wood, modified using a non-toxic process

These qualities make Accoya a smart investment for homeowners seeking peace of mind and for professionals aiming to deliver long-lasting quality.

This single-family home in Gorliz demonstrates how Accoya wood can be used intelligently to enhance modern architecture. From the finished external cladding to the high-performance Accoya windows and doors, every element has been designed to deliver long-term beauty, comfort and durability.

By combining Accoya on the exterior with carefully selected interior materials, Ventaclim has created a home that responds perfectly to its environment while offering lasting value and visual appeal.
