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

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.

Decks and Rails: Do you prefer Rustic or Modern?

Decks and Rails: Do you prefer Rustic or Modern?

Spring is a good time to refresh the exterior of your home.  Refreshing or upgrading railing and decking can make everything look new or even change the exterior elevation of the home.  When deciding on what look you want to achieve for your outdoor refuge, think about what style you want:  modern, contemporary, country, or rustic look.  Outdoor space can be an extension of your home, make that space cozy and visually interesting to complement your home and style.   

When selecting the wood for your project, keep in mind Ranchwood™, gives a rustic look in more natural colors and AquaFir™, gives more of a modern/contemporary look with color choices for a vibrant appearance.  Both products offer many textures to complete a beautiful design and even compliment the homes siding/trim.  Mixing color choices can add a twist to a simple design and bring visual complexity to the deck and railing with no added work, all the products come prefinished.   Adding outdoor living space can also make the home look and feel larger all while being aesthetically pleasing.

Ranchwood Eastern circle sawn product brings the rustic look to the contemporary design using the horizontal railing slats.  The sturdy horizontal pieces make for a nice modern country look, while giving plenty of air flow and light to the space all while allowing for privacy.  This is a very economical way to build over a day light basement and also insures safety.

 

2×6 decking material is No.2 grade or better quality which minimizes knots and provide structural integrity.  The ranchwood and aquafir products provide durability and strength from either Douglas Fir or Cedar allowing for the balance needed to build a budget friendly deck with characteristics to compliment the home.

This traditional barn added some flair with a balcony off the living quarters to extend living space.  The railing is traditional vertical slats to stay in the rustic style of the barn.  Using Ranchwood in Tackroom color to create a rugged well-built extended living space.  The 2×6 decking was prefinished on both the top and bottom to meet the customer’s needs.  Ranchwood is an economical solution instead of using reclaimed barn wood for many projects while still achieving the weathered appearance..

This mixed material railing keeps the rustic look, but allows for some additional texture to compliment the wood by using metal mesh.  This combination compliments the building and allows light through, keeps the view unobstructed, but the space is also enclosed for safety.  Using wood balusters in a darker color than the siding keeps within the barn style for a natural look and the mesh just allows for some creativity in the finished design.

 

Whenever a project is being planned out having the peace of mind that all the wood is protected with a No VOCs, eco-friendly, water based formula of Seal Once, you know family, animals and the environment are not impacted by the project.   All of our wood comes prefinished to preserve the natural beauty and long lasting waterproofing.  Prefinished wood also allows for completing the project faster, no waiting on stains or paints to dry.  Leaving more time to enjoy using the deck.
