During a break in the rain today John and the backyard ceramic studio owner made some samples of charred cedar siding. Very exciting.
The layer of charred wood on the exterior will make the siding more durable, in addition to looking very nice. Thanks to Christian Palino for the photos.

Slowly but surely this new building is taking shape. The interesting angles create privacy from the main house and useful delineation of spaces on the inside. The siding is select tight knot cedar. The mitered corner is nicely executed by the craftsmen of McBride Construction. Still to come – interior finishes, lighting, landscaping, and a loft. Stay posted for more photos as it unfolds.

Cedar slat railings above and below, energy efficient wood-clad windows and copper gutter and flashing.
In addition to lots of improvements on the inside of the house, this project makes vast improvements to the interface between the house and the yard. Such improvements then inspire the client to make big improvements to the garden itself – A new stone patio, pathways, and many new plants.
The roof deck above is built strong, ready to hold the most practical kind of living roof – a vegetable garden in pots and planters!
