-
The exterior will weather naturally and never need paint or re-coating

Sustainability
Welcome to The Confluence - a building like none other! Sustainability is at the heart of this space, from the locally-sourced and milled timber beams, to reclaimed materials salvaged locally, and construction waste thoughtfully reused or recycled, The Confluence is leading the way.
The Builder
The idea-generator, owner, engineer, builder and visionary of The Confluence is Alan Ayres. He has always disliked the amount of waste and high energy consumption in commercial construction, so he has taken it on as a personal challenge to see what he can do better about both.
