I was recently in Bend, Oregon where they are building a lot of new houses. This one is part of a large housing development with a variety of builders and architects. It shows an interesting way to resolve the age old problem of making the windows work for the rooms on the inside and also look good from the outside. The pattern of windows, siding, and trim, kind of reminds me of a Piet Mondrian painting (minus the primary colors and black and white….maybe thats coming next.) What an unusual solution for this style of house!

thanks for sharing! waterproofing around windows and different siding materials is always difficult. what was the siding- hardie plank?
Yes I think so. I was more interested in the pattern created by the windows in this case.
