DeForest Architects Thanks for your interest. To warm up th interior, we used 1/2" thick maple plywood cut into long rectangles and set in a brick or "running bond" pattern. We asked The contractor to first paint the ceiling black then set the panels about 3/8" apart. If we had tried to make it all one continuous plane of maple, it would have been harder to install and lacked the nice scale. John

DeForest Architects Oh, and I believe the footprint was about 28x28'. With the office loft, that added up to a little over 1000sf in the main living areas. There is also a full basement.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Becky Harris to Houzz Tour: Contemporary Country Charm in Iowa
The trio immersed themselves in the region, touring local quarries, farms and salvage yards. "My clients appreciate modern design, but they also deeply admire the local building forms and traditions," says DeForest. "Through our homework process, we worked together to come up with a blend that built on tradition rather than reproducing or rejecting it." The home's form borrows heavily from the rural Iowa vernacular, right down to the exterior color and the window placed like a hayloft door. "From the exterior, the house appears as a classic form amid sweeping fields and surrounding woods," describes DeForest.
