THE VISION

The homeowners wanted to create a rustic Craftsman-style home that embraced natural wood materials with a focus on the authentic character of circle-sawn wood.

THE SOLUTION

To capture the essence of the Craftsman style, Western Red Cedar with a circle-sawn texture was used throughout. Horizontal ranchwood™ Tackroom shiplap was combined with vertical AquaFir™ Battleship board and batten, creating the hallmark mix of textures and profiles typical of the Craftsman aesthetic. 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.
  • Circle-Sawn Texture: The consistent use of circle-sawn cedar throughout the home emphasized the rustic craftsmanship, enhancing both the home’s warmth and architectural details.

The Solution

Ranchwood™ Artisan in Glacier Grey was chosen for its weathered, rustic character, blending seamlessly with the mountain environment. The darker Charwood™ Midnight adds a bold, modern contrast, delivering a dynamic interplay between tones and textures.

MTP’s Fireline protection was utilized to provide an elegant, eye-catching exterior that not only looks stunning but also meets fire safety precautions. There are two distinct siding elements that were created specifically for this project to meet the inspired aesthetic vision.

Design Considerations

The Vision

The revitalized Rusty Parrot Lodge aims to retain its original charm while introducing modern luxury. The use of natural wood materials was key to maintaining a strong connection to Jackson’s wilderness.

The Solution

Vertical Siding: 1×8” | Shiplap | Douglas Fir

Product
Ranchwood™ Artisan | Dusk | Circle Sawn

THE VISION

The homeowners envisioned a dream home that seamlessly blended rustic charm with modern performance, aiming for the authentic look of reclaimed wood while benefiting from the durability, quality and higher consistency of new materials. 

They sought to evoke timeless elegance with variations and color contrasts that reflect true artisanal craftsmanship.

THE SOLUTION

To bring their vision to life, the subtle variation and color-contrasting highlights of Ranchwood™ Artisan Dusk with a circle sawn texture added depth and character to the design. This choice provided subtle variation and depth and character to the home’s facade.

Design Considerations

  • Front and Back Elevations: These areas feature extensive use of Ranchwood™ Artisan Dusk vertical siding in 1×8” Douglas Fir, creating a striking, mountain rustic appearance that welcomes guests and showcases the home’s unique charm. The natural wood accents blend seamlessly with the light colored adjoining materials, adding warmth and a sense of history to the design.

This approach ensures durability and ease of maintenance without compromising the overall design. 

The Ranchwood™Artisan series provided the versatility needed to achieve their unique aesthetic.

The result is a retreat that harmonizes with its natural surroundings, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere for family and guests.

THE DESIGN VISION

In the competitive world of commercial spaces, making a lasting impression is key. For this dental office in Idaho, the facade wasn’t just an exterior; it was an opportunity to create warmth and distinction.

THE SOLUTION

Choosing AquaFir™ prefinished natural wood cladding wasn’t just about aesthetics; it was a strategic move. The light brown hue and wire brushed texture not only added visual appeal but also conveyed a sense of tranquility, setting the tone for a more inviting experience for patients.

This not only saves time but also ensures that the facade maintains its allure for years to come.
