Cedar box
In contrast to the wood box that contains the public spaces of this home, the private wing of this home is clad in Corten steel. Both materials show a sensitivity to the surrounding landscape, which is dry and brown for much of the year.
Don’t want to have to continually maintain your home’s exterior? Then cedar is an option, as seen in this ridgetop home designed by architect Jim Zack. But remember that the golden honey colour of new cedar will weather to a sliver colour of time, and the degree will vary in different areas, depending how each is exposed to the sun.
