Modern Northwest Living: Orondo WA Residence Featuring Artisan Glacier Grey

A Riverfront Retreat Rooted in Place

Overlooking the Columbia River in Orondo, Washington, this home draws directly from its rugged basalt rock and desert surroundings. The design uses a unified material palette to achieve a seamless balance between a modern aesthetic and its natural setting. Montana Timber Products supplied the full wood package (interior and exterior) including: siding, trim, beams, fascia, soffits, and interior accents — all finished to create a complete visual cohesion.

FINISH & PRODUCT LINE

Product Line: ranchwood™ Artisan
Finish Color: Glacier Grey

The entire package, across both species, was finished in our ranchwood™ Artisan Glacier Grey. This finish was chosen for its layered, weathered tones that echo the Columbia River’s basalt cliffs. Its ability to blend with the natural stone landscape while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic makes it an ideal complement to both siding and structural elements. By applying the same finish across a range of profiles and sizes, the design achieves a sense of material cohesion.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Orondo Residence: A Modern Home Grounded in Nature

  • Landscape Inspiration: Grey tones resonate with the Columbia River’s rock formations, grounding the home in its setting.

  • Cohesion Across Applications: From broad siding runs to fine trim details, all wood elements share a unified tone.

  • Texture & Craftsmanship: Raked and re-sawn surfaces introduce warmth and depth to the home’s clean architectural lines.

  • Interior–Exterior Dialogue: Interior beams, wood wall accents – including sliding barn doors, and a custom fireplace mantel extend the exterior palette indoors, creating a cohesive, balanced design that enhances the home’s connection to nature.

THE RESULT

A Modern Home That Belongs to Its Natural Landscape

The Orondo Residence demonstrates how a thoughtful material palette can elevate architectural design. Unified by a single finish, the home achieves both strength and subtlety, grounding it in the rugged Columbia River Basin while offering a modern living space.

Would you consider this an example of biophilic design or does the perfectly manicured monoculture lawn element, pool, and concrete driveway disqualify us from this trendy call out?

The Core Idea: What is Biophilia?

The concept is rooted in the “biophilia hypothesis,” a theory popularized by biologist E.O. Wilson. He suggested that humans have an innate, genetic affinity for nature. For most of our history, we lived in direct contact with natural environments, and our physical and mental well-being is deeply tied to that connection. In our modern, urbanized world, this link is often severed, leading to stress, fatigue, and a host of other issues.

Does Modern Landscaping Distract From Core Biophilic Principles?

The key to biophilic design is not about rejecting modern elements, but about re-imagining them to work with nature, not against it. A design can be both modern and biophilic, as long as it prioritizes a human-nature connection. And connecting with your body for a delightful swim paired with bocci ball competitions surely checks that box for us at Montana Timber Products.

The Carmell: Parade of Homes Winner, Showcasing ranchwood™ Artisan Ash

A Stunning Award-Winning Showcase at the 2025 Boise Parade of Homes

Montana Timber Products is proud to feature “The Carmell,” a breathtaking 5,031 square foot residence built by Biltmore Co. This award-winning showcase from the 2025 Boise Area Parade of Homes is an example of how premier building partners and suppliers collaborate to set new standards in residential design. Winning multiple prestigious awards, including Best Overall Home and awards for Interior Design & Finish and Exterior Design, The Carmell perfectly blends modern design with natural warmth, a result of the striking exterior enhanced throughout by our premium ranchwood™ Artisan Ash products.

DESIGN BRIEF

Elevating Mountain Modernism with ranchwood™ Artisan

The Carmell project called for natural wood accents that deliver clean lines and a unified exterior aesthetic, while ensuring lasting durability and architectural elegance. To achieve this, the authentic reclaimed-wood appearance of the ranchwood™ Artisan Ash product line was carefully selected, perfectly blending timeless character with modern sophistication.

Throughout the entire build, Montana Timber Products’ dedicated sales representative worked hand in hand with Biltmore Co., collaborating closely to meet their unique design requirements, construction timelines, and budget objectives. This partnership ensured that material selection, delivery, and finishing met the highest standards without compromising schedule or financial targets.

Montana Timber Products supplied a wide range of ranchwood™ Artisan Douglas Fir profiles, precisely milled with raked textures and expertly finished for a consistent, high-performance exterior solution. The variety of profiles and dimensions allowed for tailored application across siding, trim, fascia, soffit, and outdoor living spaces emphasizing a harmonious design language from the home’s exterior to its functional details.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Authentic Reclaimed Look with Enhanced Performance

The ranchwood™ Artisan line intentionally replicates the nuances of reclaimed lumber, offering subtle variations in color and texture that add depth and character to The Carmell’s exterior. The knotty Douglas Fir used throughout the project brings additional authenticity, ensuring the façade never feels flat or artificial. The raked texture and Ash finish achieve a warm yet modern look that works well for the home’s contemporary mountain design.

A blend of 1×8 shiplap siding and square-edge trim creates crisp, defined lines and strong visual contrasts, bringing out the home’s architectural intent. Tongue & groove soffits and porch ceilings not only provide architectural detail and a welcoming transition to outdoor spaces, but also extend the coordinated Ash finish for a unified look. Finished garage doors and fascia in the same Artisan Ash material maintain visual consistency on high-exposure surfaces.

These practical product choices help the home feel approachable while maintaining a refined presence. The prefinished, high-performance Seal-Once coating ensures durability and weather resistance, so The Carmell’s appearance will endure through all seasons. This integrated approach showcases how ranchwood™ Artisan’s knotty Douglas Fir brings together modern lines, subtle rusticity, and lasting performance for an inviting, contemporary exterior.

Blending Rustic Wood Textures with Modern Detail

This custom A-frame home integrates a dynamic array of profiles and stain treatments to create dramatic shadow lines and nuanced surface character.

  • Striking Exterior Contrasts: The ranchwood™ Artisan siding’s raked finish in Ash Glacier Grey offers a time-worn patina that harmonizes with the setting, while bold black AquaFir™ trim and beams provide striking, contemporary contrast. This interplay is particularly evident on the garage, where AquaFir Black trim frames the wood panel garage door, which features warm AquaFir Yukon brown panels. This creates a sophisticated contrasting trio against the light Ash Glacier Grey siding.
    • ranchwood™ Artisan: Features a multi-step finishing process for deep color variation and a reclaimed wood aesthetic, perfect for adding warmth to a modern design.
    • AquaFir™: Crafted for versatility, ideal for sleek, natural wood exterior detailing that complements contemporary architecture.
  • Seamless Wood Integration, Inside and Out: The exterior soffit, finished in AquaFir Yukon, seamlessly extends the home’s aesthetic, visually connecting with the massive A-frame interior ceiling paneling in AquaFir Yukon. This creates a cohesive and immersive wood experience throughout the home.
  • Douglas Fir: Selected for its sustainability, structural dependability, and striking grain, offering both visual appeal and exceptional price value.
  • Custom-Milled Precision: Custom-milled siding, trim, and soffits ensure a precise fit and perfect color coordination, resulting in visually clean and architecturally rigorous transitions between planes and materials.
  • Built to Endure: All wood is prefinished with high-performance, Seal-Once water-based sealant, providing industry-leading resilience against moisture, sun, and seasonal changes. This finish is also ideal for interior applications, ensuring a healthy living environment. This commitment to quality ensures longevity and beauty for years to come.

THE RESULT

“A-Frame of Mind” exemplifies how the marriage of material quality and thoughtful design delivers both immediate curb appeal and long-term satisfaction.

THE DESIGN CHALLENGE

A Wood Siding Envelope to Complement Authentic Reclaimed Timbers

Cushing Terrell and Gallatin Construction envisioned a Flathead Lake retreat that balanced modern architectural lines with the area’s natural beauty. The primary challenge was selecting a wood siding package that would seamlessly complement the home’s existing, authentic reclaimed structural timbers, which featured not just one, but two distinct color tones.

At Montana Timber Products, we meet the needs of our clients, one job at a time. This project presented a unique opportunity for our ranchwood™ Artisan line, which was meticulously crafted for this very purpose. Three specific finish combinations were selected—Glacier Grey siding, Dusk trim, and Ash for interior ceilings. This unified aesthetic not only honors the home’s heritage but also provides the durability required for Montana’s demanding lakeside climate.

Have a complex design vision or a unique material challenge? We invite you to put our expertise to the test.

THE SOLUTION

ranchwood™ Artisan Finishes | Premium Western Red Cedar Siding

Montana Timber Products delivered a complete wood package featuring three carefully coordinated ranchwood™ Artisan finishes. The Glacier Grey siding paired with Dusk trim creates subtle contrast and architectural depth across both the main house and barn. Inside, the Ash-finished ceiling brightens living spaces while showcasing the craftsmanship of the timber framework.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Authentic Wood Character, Modern Reliability
The ranchwood™ Artisan series replicates the subtle variation and weathered beauty of genuine reclaimed wood without the sourcing challenges of antique materials. This approach delivered the timeless aesthetic that harmonizes with Flathead Lake’s historic architecture while providing the consistency and performance of kiln-dried Western Red Cedar.

Seamless Integration
The multi-step ranchwood™ Artisan finishing process ensures each new board complements the depth and patina of the home’s reclaimed structural elements, creating a unified exterior that tells Montana’s building story.

Built to Last
All materials feature Seal-Once protection—an industry-leading, non-toxic waterproofing system that provides superior moisture resistance and environmental safety. This advanced finish ensures the home maintains its beauty and structural integrity through every Montana season.

THE RESULT

Premium Lakefront Construction: Durable Wood Siding Package for Montana Climate

The Mountain Modern Lake Home stands as a testament to the power of combining contemporary architecture with authentic Montana materials. It’s a home that is as inviting as it is enduring, perfectly suited for lakeside living on Flathead Lake. Discover how Montana Timber Products can bring your vision to life.

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 Solution

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.

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

AquaFir™ in Hazelnut and Brown was selected for its earthy, organic tones that resonate with the surrounding environment. The finishes bring a sense of warmth and depth, creating a lodge atmosphere that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Design Considerations

Durability and aesthetic harmony were critical. AquaFir’s finishes provide resilience against the elements while offering a luxurious feel. The interplay of Hazelnut and Brown enhances the architecture, grounding the design in its natural surroundings.  All exposed materials including siding, trim, fascia and timbers were expertly milled and prefinished by MTP to the exact specifications required by the project team.

These projects exemplify how Montana Timber Products can enhance architectural vision through thoughtful material choices, merging rustic textures with modern functionality. Each project illustrates the seamless blend of durability, fire resistance, and aesthetic beauty, demonstrating why MTP is a trusted partner for architects and builders in Jackson’s evolving landscape.

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

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.

The Barn project in Park City, Utah emerges as a haven for recreation, relaxation, and wellness. Imbued with a classic Western-style barn house aesthetic, the project not only seeks to entertain but also to provide a sanctuary for rejuvenation.

THE SOLUTION

Comprising two key structures, The Barn’s first building boasts diverse amenities – a pizzeria, ice cream shop, general store, sports court, game room, and arts & crafts studio, catering to both the young and the young at heart. The second structure acts as a restorative retreat, featuring a fully-equipped fitness center, juice bar, spa with an extensive treatment menu, and a serene zen pool lounge.

ranchwood™ Artisan Integration

The interior cladding, specifically 1”x6” Shiplap Douglas Fir, takes the form of ranchwood™ Artisan in Ash color with Raked texture. This deliberate choice not only aligns with Victory Ranch’s vision of a Western barn house but also contributes to crafting a warm, inviting ambiance for their guests.

TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHT

The selection of ranchwood™ Artisan is not merely an aesthetic choice but a technical one. The precision in custom milling and multi-step prefinishing reflects a commitment to quality and durability, ensuring the interior not only embodies the desired Western charm but also stands the test of time.
