THE VISION

A tranquil cabin retreat nestled amidst the picturesque mountains of New Mexico. The proprietors aspired to craft an inviting haven where they could unwind and host gatherings for their acquaintances and loved ones, following exhilarating days of skiing and exploration.

Charwood™ | Tiger & Midnight | Douglas Fir

THE VISION

The design intention of this structure was to create a modern cabin with blurred lines between inside and outside spaces.  Contrasting light and dark shou sugi ban was selected to energize the living quarters and calm the resting spaces.  The building location is perfectly situated on a bouldered bench in a secluded valley of Central Washington.

THE SOLUTION

Midnight and Tiger Charwood™ were intentionally selected for a distinctive natural interior and exterior envelope on this secluded cabin retreat. The divergent char colors of this shou sugi ban inspired product instills a stunning contrastive aesthetic that flows naturally with the beauty that surrounds it. The line between inside and outside is ambiguous, allowing a cozy inside feel while surrounded by a striking mountainscape.

From Common Facade to Rustic Showstopper

Project Details

Location
Minnesota

Project Type
Private Residence

Applications
Vertical Siding: 1×6″ and 1×8″ | Shiplap with ⅛” reveal
Horizontal Siding: 2×10″ | Wire Brushed

Product
ranchwood™ | Western + Tackroom + Yellowstone | Douglas Fir

The Vision

The owner of this Minnesota home wanted to transform a common engineered façade into a character-rich rancher home.

The Solution

This project utilized a variety of our mill capabilities with ranging textures, profiles, dimensions, and finish colorations. The vertical siding was both 1×6 and 1×8 boards milled in a shiplap profile with a 1/8” reveal and circle sawn texture. For the horizontal siding, they selected 2×12 boards in Pioneer texture.

This home had porch columns in place, so rather than replace them, we provided specified dimensioned materials to enable the fabrication of wood post wraps.

Vertical siding was used in the gables and was finished with a combination of tackroom and western colors.

Note: The 2×12 siding in Pioneer texture utilized chinking between the boards for a natural log appearance.  We can mill many variations of this look to meet your design scope without needing to build with full logs.

Bringing Southern Hospitality to Idaho

Project Details

Location
Idaho

Project Type
Commercial

Application
Siding: 1×8 horizontal channel rustic

Product
AquaFir™ | Douglas Fir | White | Wire Brushed texture

THE VISION

Tupelo Honey serves southern foods with locations throughout the US. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, so natural wood cladding with a classic channel rustic profile was a perfect fit for the design of this restaurant.

THE SOLUTION

This Tupelo location sits on the second floor of a commercial building in downtown Boise. Our white colored finish is subtle and allows for natural wood grains to pop out. This soft wood tone is an excellent choice to counteract the hustle of the streets outside the balcony.

For the siding, they selected a channel rustic profile which is milled as a shiplap with a one inch reveal between the board faces. This design provides a shadowing effect, or otherwise breaking up the surface and creating more texture and space.

THE VISION

An inviting community pool house that both delivers on a traditional Colorado mountain design and complements the beauty of the natural elements that surround it.

THE SOLUTION

This project utilizes 3 different colors in our AquaFir™ line for an eye catching variance in aspect and elevation.  The douglas fir substrate and handsome palette of colors was purposely chosen to fit the homeowner’s association’s architectural standards.

The contrast between the lighter Driftwood colored siding, darker Battleship, and the Bronze Cedar trim renders a unique light and brightness to this project.  It welcomes guests to enjoy a day at the pool, or a warm soak in the jacuzzi after a long day on the slopes.
