The beauty of stained cedar siding and soffits
When you’re working with beautiful materials, it’s often best to keep a design simple so that the beauty of the materials can shine through. Tracy, my client for this project, wanted a rustic look for her framing studio, a small building on a rural site where she can garden and pursue her framing work.
Her chosen exterior materials: cedar board and batten siding, stone veneer, reclaimed metal roofing used as siding (obtained by the builder, JG Development of Mount Horeb) and a standing seam metal roof. Interior materials include cork plank flooring, reclaimed pine trim and sheet metal stair risers.

The builder, JG Development, had this idea for simple deck railings made of inexpensive steel bars.
The stone veneer "base" is reminiscent of traditional Wisconsin barns.
 Reclaimed metal roofing is used as siding above the beautiful entry door. |  The sheet metal stair risers provide a nice contrast to the cork flooring and reclaimed wood trim. |
 Simple track lighting illuminates the work table in the framing studio. |  The stair walls provide ample space for Tracy to exhibit her work. |
The traditional pendant light over the island is a focal point of the kitchenette.
