Living Room

Shaker-style millwork and cabinetry throughout the first floor both unite and delineate the spaces in this open floor plan. The polished concrete floor doesn't compete with the bright colors of the walls. Architectural design by Board & Vellum. Photo by John G. Milbanks.

Structural timber roofs create a comfortable yet open space through the main living area of the house. All other areas use conventional building methods with cosmetic timber detailing to maintain the timber frame theme while keeping the overall cost of the house within a reasonable budget. The wood featured in this project is a pristine quality West Coast Douglas Fir. Each piece is cut free of heart centre, which means the timbers are cut around the core of the wood to avoid checking and twisting to ensure a clean finish and tight joinery. For added visual effect, the owners decided to use flared cedar logs for post locations at the entry of the house and in the main living area. A classic design that works perfectly in its country setting, this home features clean lines and modern elements that will make it as relevant in 50 years as it is now.
