Leveraging Thermally Modified Wood Siding in a High Mountain Climate

A Modern Approach to Exterior Wood Cladding

Project Details

Location
Park City, UT

Project Type
Private Residence

Applications + Products

  • Horizontal Siding: 1×6 AquaFir, Yukon color, Tex Gap Profile, Thermally Modified CVG Hemlock, smooth texture
  • Soffits: 1×6 AquaFir, Honey Blonde color, T&G Profile, non-modified CVG Hemlock, smooth texture
THE VISION

Embracing Mountain Modern Elegance

The Park City residence showcases a mountain modern aesthetic, blending natural tones of prefinished thermally modified wood with limestone masonry to enhance its sophisticated appeal. Expansive windows and open spaces offer breathtaking views, seamlessly connecting the interior with the stunning mountain landscape. This design achieves a luxurious yet natural harmony that epitomizes contemporary mountain living.

THE SOLUTION

Thermally Modified Wood with Tex Gap Profile: A Perfect Pairing

Thermally modified wood undergoes a specialized heat treatment process, enhancing its natural properties:

  • Increased Durability: Highly resistant to rot, decay, and moisture.
  • Dimensional Stability: Minimizes warping, cupping, and other common wood movement issues.
  • Hydrophobic Properties: Naturally repels water, reducing moisture-related problems.
  • Sustainably Sourced: Harvested, treated, and milled to specification in North America.
  • Chemical-Free: Achieves superior performance without harmful chemicals.

The Tex Gap profile complements these benefits by offering:

  • Blind Fastening: Enables hidden nailing in the tongue, resulting in a clean, nail-head-free appearance.
  • Enhanced Aesthetics: Provides a sleek, uninterrupted board look that elevates the overall design.
  • Improved Durability: Prevents improper nail sinking, eliminating potential water ingress points.

Design Considerations

  1. Contrasting Elements: Black corner trim and facia wrap contrast the thermally modified hemlock siding colored in Yukon Aquifer, creating a complementary mountain modern aesthetic.
  2. Tex Gap Profile Installation: Meticulous installation techniques ensure the durability and longevity of Tex Gap profile siding to ensure lifetime durability.
  3. Climate Resilience: Montana Timber Product’s thermally modified wood offers enhanced stability and moisture resistance, ideal for Park City Utah’s harsh mountain environments.
  4. Finish Options: Various finish options for the AquaFir™ wood were explored to achieve the desired aesthetic while preserving the material’s natural properties, resulting in the selection of the Yukon color for siding and Honey Blonde for soffits, which complements the limestone masonry and enhances the home’s connection to its mountain setting.

This Park City residence achieves a perfect balance of form and function by combining thermally modified wood with the Tex Gap profile. The result is a visually striking exterior that offers superior protection against the elements, reduced maintenance requirements, and a sustainable building envelope that will stand the test of time in its mountain setting.

THE VISION

Seamless Integration with Natural Elements

The architects envisioned a residence that would celebrate the breathtaking views of Malaga, Washington while providing a comfortable, modern indoor environment. Central to this vision was the careful planning of a built environment that would seamlessly blend in with the natural world around it, incorporating natural materials to foster a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

THE SOLUTION

A Range of Wood Finishes For This Tranquil Retreat

To bring this biophilic design vision to life, the design team skillfully matched the blonde natural wood aesthetic of the interior ceiling paneling to the cabinetry package. Then continued the look to the exterior soffits for a seamless monochromatic design integration.

The combination of selected colors paired perfectly with this home’s design vision and nature-inspired elements. The combination of horizontal siding, soffits, and trim pieces were all crafted out of Douglas Fir from the Pacific Northwest.

Design Considerations

  • Material Integration: The AquaFir™ wood cladding was thoughtfully integrated with adjoining materials, creating a seamless transition between different natural elements of the home’s exterior and interior. This careful integration enhances the overall aesthetic and ensures a cohesive architectural design and visual appeal felt throughout the residence.
  • Functional Biophilic Design: The wood cladding not only serves as a protective exterior layer but also contributes to the biophilic design of the home. By incorporating natural building materials, textures, and colors, the design creates a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, promoting well-being and a soothing atmosphere.
  • Interior-Exterior Flow: The use of AquaFir™ in exterior siding and interior elements helps blur the boundaries between inside and outside, creating a fluid living experience enriched by natural light. This seamless transition encourages residents to engage more fully with their surroundings and enjoy the benefits of indoor-outdoor living.
  • Strategic Wood Placement: The architectural design carefully considered the placement of wood elements to maximize their visual and functional impact. From the horizontal siding to the soffits and trim, each application of AquaFir™ was thought out to enhance the home’s architectural features and create a harmonious overall biophilic design.

This stunning residence showcases the versatility of Montana Timber Products’ AquaFir™ line, demonstrating how thoughtful material selection and application can create a visually striking home deeply connected to its surrounding natural environment.

THE VISION

A Lake Property That Blends Rustic Charm and Modern Luxury

Nestled along the shores of a pristine northern Minnesota lake, this custom home seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern luxury. The vision was to create a family legacy that harmoniously combines wood, stone, and steel, reflecting the breathtaking natural beauty of the surroundings and the contemporary design sensibilities that come with luxury lake living.

THE SOLUTION

A Range of Wood Finishes For This Tranquil Retreat

Montana Timber Products provided a comprehensive range of premium custom wood products from our ranchwood™ Artisan and AquaFir™ lines. The exterior vertical artisan siding complements the natural antique bronze stone, creating a striking facade that honors the lakeside setting. Inside the lake home, custom Light Cascade-colored AquaFir™ cladding adds warmth and texture to walls, ceilings, and cabinetry, while custom steel elements introduce a modern touch.

Design Considerations

The design process focused on creating a space that was both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional:

  • Exterior-Interior Harmony: The ranchwood™ Artisan Raked Ship Lap siding in Ash and Homestead colors was strategically used on both the main house and boat house exteriors, creating a cohesive look that respects the lakeside setting.
  • Textural Contrast: The horizontal 3×16 ranchwood™ Artisan Raked Shiplap in Dusk color was custom milled by MTP.  It was purposefully placed to provide a bold contrast to the vertical siding, adding visual interest and emphasizing the home’s modern lines.
  • Interior Warmth: AquaFir™ Wire Brushed Shiplap in Custom Light Cascade color was chosen for interior walls and ceilings. The varied widths (1×6, 1×8, and 1×10) were intentionally mixed to create a dynamic (yet warm) interior atmosphere that complements the exterior aesthetic.
  • Custom Cabinetry Integration: The use of AquaFir™ Wire Brushed Custom T&G with 1/8″ reveal on cabinetry ensures that the wood elements flow seamlessly throughout the home, maintaining design consistency from large surfaces to more minor details.
  • Window Framing: Custom window headers, jambs, and trim in ranchwood™ Artisan Raked Square Edge were specifically selected to frame views of the lake and forest, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Conclusion

This northern Minnesota lake home exemplifies the perfect marriage of rustic charm and modern luxury. By leveraging the handcrafted custom prefinishing of our ranchwood™ Artisan and AquaFir™ products, we helped create a space that meets the family’s current needs and will serve as a cherished legacy for generations to come. At Montana Timber Products, we’re proud to contribute to projects that so beautifully blend form, function, and natural materials.

THE VISION

THOUGHTFULLY CURATED EXTERIOR DESIGN MATERIALS

The Lookout at Lake Chelan represents a thoughtfully curated residential community designed to foster familial connections amidst the stunning natural backdrop of Lake Chelan. This development seamlessly integrates modern architectural elements with the rugged beauty of Washington’s high desert landscape.

The architectural vision for these residences strikes a delicate balance between contemporary design and environmental resilience. The structures are engineered to withstand the region’s intense solar exposure and significant temperature fluctuations while maintaining a sophisticated aesthetic that complements the natural surroundings.

THE SOLUTION

INTEGRATING NATURAL WOOD ACCENTS ON HOUSE EXTERIOR

The project’s success lies in its judicious use of real wood accents, carefully integrated to enhance both form and function.

Wood Accent Placement and Design

By strategically incorporating natural wood elements in select siding and soffit applications on home exteriors, the design achieves an elevated visual appeal while minimizing maintenance requirements – a crucial consideration in this challenging climate.

This approach introduces a welcoming warmth to the home. Whether it’s a rustic touch or a modern twist, wood accents can redefine the style of your house exterior, making it both inviting and distinctive.

Design Considerations

  • Solar Orientation: Given the area’s high percentage of annual sunshine, UV exposure was a primary concern for maintaining the wood’s visual integrity over time. To maximize longevity and reduce maintenance intervals, wood applications were predominantly focused on north, east, and west-facing elevations, strategically avoiding southern exposures where UV impact is most severe.
  • Protected Installations: Soffits and covered patio areas were identified as ideal locations for wood applications. These protected zones allow for incorporating natural wood elements that tie the overall design together while significantly reducing exposure to harmful UV rays, thus extending the lifespan of the finishes.

This project serves as a testament to the versatility of wood in contemporary architecture, demonstrating that when applied with precision and foresight, natural materials can enhance the visual appeal and performance of modern residential designs.

Circle-sawn cedar was featured in the fascia, trim, and ceilings, maintaining the rustic texture central to the design.

Design Considerations

  • Craftsman Design Elements: The combination of horizontal and vertical cedar siding, along with exposed cedar trim and fascia, reflected the classic Craftsman emphasis on authentic natural materials.
  • Western Red Cedar: STK Cedar was chosen for its durability in Iowa’s climate and its ability to complement the rustic, handcrafted design while offering long-lasting performance.
