Lauren and Brittan Ellingson, the owners of Notice Snowboards, a custom snowboard and wakesurf company in Whitefish, Montana, approached Workaday Design and builder Mindful Designs to concoct a new lake home for their family. The brief was, perhaps unsurprisingly, focused on getting the family outdoors as much as possible.

The new cedar will age naturally, gaining a silver patina over time. The garage was refaced with stucco.

Some windows that were salvageable were kept, while others were replaced with new Jeld-Wen units that Jocie liked better for their size, shape, or function. At the corner of the sunroom, for example, an angular corner window looks much cleaner than the two units that had been there before.

The architect streamlined the exterior by replacing the shingles with tongue-and-groove Eastern white cedar boards, grown and milled in Maine.

“An angled entry clad in white brick addresses the angle of the street and provides a place to pause before entering into the home,” says the firm.

The home was built in 1980, Stelle Lomont Rouhani Architects renovated the project in 2013.

The cedar shingles—common to local buildings—are scaled up to the size of the boards to cover the roof and sidewalls of Georgica Cove.

Located in a coveted, beachfront, gated community, this Malibu home is surrounded by ocean views and miles of walking trails.

Kapoho by Teak Bali Hardwood Homes is comprised of three structures that are connected by a large wrap-around deck. The walls are finished in mango wood.

Each structure has an independent mechanical system so it can be shut down when not in use.

As with connected farms, the limited material palette unifies the various spaces.

The separate volumes are unified in their external appearance.

From the courtyard, views extend straight through the home to the other side of the structure.

To instill the desired sense of comfort and peace, it was important that the design blend with the setting and local building traditions.
