Architectural Roofing for Extreme Climates | Braidwood NSW Residence

Set in Braidwood, NSW, the Saleyards Lane residence is a standout example of what’s possible when architectural intent, buildability, and performance all align. Delivered through a true collaboration between Tim Lee Architects, Donovan Building Group, and the ARCPANEL team, this project demanded large clear spans, a complex layered form, and generous overhangs—all while performing through extreme seasonal temperature swings (from -10 to the high thirties).

As architect Tim Lee shared: “ARCPANEL was the obvious choice.”

ARCPANEL Custom Panel: Performance that protects the design

Specified as a 200mm Custom Panel across 613m², the roofing system helped bring the home’s refined lines and expressive form to life—without compromising comfort or constructability.

Key advantages delivered on this build included:

  • Large clear spans to support the design intent and reduce structural complexity
  • An all-in-one roof system (roofing + insulation + ceiling in one) to streamline coordination
  • Thermal comfort in demanding climates, supporting year-round liveability
  • A cleaner finish on install, helping the builder deliver the detail with confidence

Collaboration that makes complex feel simple

Projects like Braidwood prove the value of early alignment between designer, builder, and manufacturer—especially when the roof form is doing the heavy lifting visually. As noted by the architect, ARCPANEL’s design team worked closely with the project team, and the system was found to be easy to install and finish, backed by strong service and support.
