Boulder Holder

Giant rocks excavated from the

site serve as natural anchors for

the building’s exterior beams.

“You can’t dig five feet on this

property without hitting a boulder,” says Chris. As suggested by the

couple’s architects, the boulders

act as a support system, unique

architectural ornamentation, and extra seating.

The unique wall panels are made of HardieBacker cement board from James Hardie. “That’s the material

I’m happiest with,” says Tanya.

“I like the way it looks, it’s cool,

and it works.” Typically used for

waterproofing beneath floors and

countertops, the board is perfect

for combating the extreme rains

that sometimes pound the house.
