"The name ‘Unfinished House’ refers to an aesthetic attitude... self-finishing materials were selected to reduce resources and reveal the building’s construction. Tile and plywood are the only added finishes; they cover areas with wiring and plumbing," the architects tell us. "The building is an all-timber structure with cellulose and wood fiber board insulation. Many of the materials were locally-produced including the wood framing, plywood, corrugated metal, and wood cladding."
