Ipe Siding Installation | Swansea, Toronto
Odin Agnuk installed custom ipe siding on this modern home in Swansea, Toronto, creating a striking exterior cladding that carries through to the interior. The horizontal ipe boards wrap the building's facade and continue inside as a dramatic feature wall, unifying the home's indoor and outdoor aesthetic. This seamless transition showcases the versatility of ipe as both an exterior cladding and an interior design element.

Interior Ipe Feature Wall
The ipe siding extends from the exterior into the home's interior, creating a continuous flow of natural wood that blurs the boundary between inside and outside. This design approach brings warmth and texture into the living space while maintaining visual continuity with the exterior. The interior ipe feature wall serves as a focal point, adding architectural interest and a connection to nature that defines the home's modern aesthetic.
Seamless Interior-Exterior Transition
Creating a seamless transition between exterior and interior cladding requires precision detailing at the threshold. Odin Agnuk carefully aligned the ipe boards so the horizontal pattern flows uninterrupted from outside to inside. This level of craftsmanship demands exact measurements, consistent board spacing, and attention to how the wood meets window frames, doors, and other building elements. The result is a cohesive design that makes a bold architectural statement.
Why Choose Ipe for Siding
Ipe is a premium Brazilian hardwood known for its exceptional durability and natural beauty. It requires no chemical treatment to resist decay, making it an environmentally responsible choice for exterior cladding. Over time, ipe weathers to a silver-grey patina if left untreated, or it can be oiled to maintain its original warm brown tone. Its density makes it fire-resistant and capable of lasting 40 years or more in exterior applications—far outlasting cedar, redwood, and most composite alternatives.
