I can imagine Kevin McCloud describing it as a thing of beauty, rising like a row of unused staples from the suburban landscape  .

Finished and presented with a mini zebra 🤔

Wouldn't you agree that the zebra serves to enhance the sympathy of the striation and bring out the largesse of the structure?

I just looked this up as I thought it must be photoshopped!
Apparently planning was a bit of a rough ride!

There are stunning houses that are clad in corrugated cladding that have won architectural design awards. 

Granted, this extension isn't going to win any awards, but if it has a building control certificate, it has been built to an acceptable level of quality.  The cladding is simply what it is - cladding - not an integral part of the structure.  We have Shou Sugi Ban cladding part of our house and our garden room, but if/when I get bored it can be quickly changed. 

That could be changed in a day or so.  

Absolutely. It's been 'certified' (as should be the architect), so must be complianaint.

I think it was clearly done as a statement and not as a cheap option, tho' I agree with (I think) everyone that it doesn't work on that house.

It wouldn't be me off in the least, tho' - but I would reclad it.

Had to look up 'Shou Sugi Ban'! Darn, I recall it looks stunning on your house, Doozer. Again, this house is too conventional for anything that dramatic.

Been back & altered your post & still messed it up !!
😠😠
