The kitchen cabinetry is marine plywood that was carefully grain matched; the grain flows across the elevation of each door in a cohesive pattern. “All of the millwork is scribed and there is not a single bead of caulk in the whole project,” says Nick. “We also don’t have any fasteners showing anywhere.”
While the owners really liked the idea of shou sugi ban, they opted for a more cost-effective black stain. The random-width, reverse board-and-batten siding reflects the wabi-sabi concept. “The builder said the math for the random siding was torturous,” the wife said. “We didn’t know how hard it was to make things look simple.” DeNiord planted hay-scented fern and lowbush blueberry sod around the house. “We didn't want any side of the house to feel unconsidered,” he says. As for the local boulders he placed around the house and terrace, he says, “They give the feeling that the house grew up around the outcroppings.”
