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

Arts District West is a modern urban development of ten luxury condominiums and mixed-use spaces draws on a striking aesthetic contrast between light and dark wood tones, offering both visual depth and connection to the regional landscape.

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.

Design Considerations

The design team prioritized material selections that would complement the rugged natural surroundings of Jackson while achieving a sophisticated finish. The cool Glacier Grey and deep Midnight tones provide a durable and refined exterior suited for the alpine environment.

PROJECT 2: CLOUDVEIL MARRIOTT

Applications + Products

• Vertical Cladding: ranchwood™ Artisan | Western Red Cedar (STK) | Dusk | Raked | 1×6 | Shiplap 
• Horizontal Cladding: Charwood™ | Douglas Fir (Clear Vertical Grain) | Custom Color | 1×6 | T&G

Fire Treatment

• All materials are Fireline pressure-treated for Class A fire-rated WUI compliance.

The Vision

This luxury hotel, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, was designed to fuse mountain serenity with Jackson’s western heritage. The design demanded a refined exterior that met both aesthetic and safety criteria.

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.

Design Considerations

Balancing fire safety with architectural beauty was paramount. The combination of Charwood™ and ranchwood™ Artisan delivers a design that reflects the rustic charm of Jackson Hole, while maintaining the luxury standards expected from a world-class hotel.

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.

Incorporating Featured Accents of Natural Wood

PROJECT DETAILS

Location
Colorado

Project Type
Residential

Applications
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.
• Side Elevations: To balance aesthetics and functionality, the sides of the house utilize less wood.  Painted siding is used strategically in the design, maintaining the home’s cohesive look while optimizing material use. 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.
