AquaFir™ | Cascade | Smooth

DESIGN VISION

In a landscape dominated by stucco, brick, steel, and concrete, the visionaries behind Arrow Point Residence sought to redefine Arizona architecture by integrating natural wood into their design of this stunning golf course estate.

SOLUTION

Strategic material selection played a pivotal role in achieving the desired interior and exterior architectural palettes.

For the exterior siding, Western Red Cedar was chosen for its innate stability across diverse climates, ensuring longevity and visual appeal.

The more sheltered areas such as the soffits and interior ceilings called for the resilience and warmth of Douglas Fir.

Both substrates were meticulously finished with AquaFir™ in Cascade color, boasting a smooth texture that elevates the overall design to unparalleled heights of sophistication.

THE VISION

Dylan Chatwin of Chatwin Homes and Delia Chatwin from The Lifestyle Collective envisioned a project that serves as “a love letter to those who care and are passionate about quality build and design.” Stonewood, a project close to their hearts, aimed not only to present a signature property in the Park City Showcase but also to showcase their distinctive design aesthetic. – Organic Earth.

THE SOLUTION

Walking through Stonewood, the goal was for visitors to sense the genuine love and meticulous care infused into every aspect of the home. To realize this aesthetic, the project incorporated materials with neutral tones, warm organic palettes, and abundant texture.

Intentionally using travertine stone, concrete, and wood throughout the property brought the essence of the outdoors inside. The selection of AquaFir™ in various shades, particularly the dramatic AquaFir Black cladding in the dining room, added a unique touch, complementing the overall design and encouraging occupants to appreciate the natural beauty surrounding the space.

Stonewood stands as a 10,221-square-foot masterpiece, showcasing the seamless integration of AquaFir™ into its design.

THE VISION

A home that gracefully embraces the essence of modern Belgian design.  Seamless integration of sleek lines, rustic wood, and warm textures.  It’s a vision of understated luxury, where each element speaks the language of sophisticated simplicity.  Softer finishes are contrasted with intentionally sought rougher elements.

In realizing this vision, AquaFir™ Driftwood takes the stage, its smooth STK Cedar finish harmonizing with the light stucco exterior.

This modern Belgian canvas extends to the interiors, where every material is curated for its ability to embody refined simplicity. Stone wainscoting, with its subtle presence, becomes the grounding element, adding a touch of authenticity to the modern narrative. Together, these elements coalesce into a solution that transcends mere design—it becomes an expression of modern elegance, turning this Midwest residence into a haven of curated sophistication.

Crafting a Dream Home That’s Wildfire-Ready in Sierra Nevada

Trim: 2×10 | Square Edge
Soffit: 1×6″ | Tongue & Groove

Product

AquaFir™ | Tobacco | Smooth | CVG Cedar

**All materials protected with Fireline™ Pressure-Treated.**

THE VISION

Nestled in the idyllic Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, a homeowner dreamed of a special mountain retreat. Their vision was not just about creating a striking contemporary design, but also about ensuring that it could weather the challenges posed by the area’s recurring wildfires.

THE SOLUTION

To bring their dream to life while addressing the wildfire concern, the homeowner took practical steps to safeguard their sanctuary.

First, they established a safe buffer zone between the house and the surrounding forest, a measure that added a layer of protection.

The next crucial step involved choosing Fireline™ Pressure-Treated wood for all their natural wood materials, making their home compliant with Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) standards. This simple decision enhanced the natural wood’s ability to withstand potential threats.

Now, the homeowner could cherish the beauty of natural wood while feeling secure in the knowledge that their retreat was equipped to stand strong in the face of nature’s unpredictable challenges. This home became a testament to both aesthetics and practicality, offering peace of mind amidst its cozy ambiance.

We get asked all the time what the siding looks like after it is aging.  On this project, the siding was installed in April of 2018 and photographed August 2020.  The sealant (Seal-Once) and tint have UV protective properties to protect the color. Individual color retention will depend on the exposure to sunlight and other natural conditions.  Re-application of the tinted sealant should be applied typically every 4-7 years depending on the conditions and individual preference.   Seal-Once is water-based non-toxic, ultra-low VOC, and has low odor so it is safe and easy to reapply.
