Danish open concept medium tone wood floor living room photo in New York with white walls, no fireplace and no tv

A dark backyard was given a new life with dramatic additions of built in planting beds, custom cut salvaged pavers, green screen trellis and a ton of charm. The reclaimed barn doors add a focal point to the east wall while the custom built two-tier planting system allows vines to fill this garden which spans two floors of the client's home.

LED bulbs are found throughout the villa, even in the swimming pool. These bulbs have a very long life span and use small amounts of electricity.

This porch was in bad shape due to the harsh winters and the salts we use. We opted for a concrete overlay system by Techo-Bloc to protect and increase the life span of this porch at a much reduced cost.

This dramatic vaulted lake room centers on a soaring stacked stone fireplace, framed by exposed steel trusses and walls of windows overlooking the water beyond. Reclaimed Wood Timbers span the ceiling in bold beams, Reclaimed Wood Paneling covers the vaulted ceiling surface, and a Reclaimed Wood Mantel spans the stone fireplace surround, bringing natural texture and warmth into this striking, contemporary retreat.
Every piece of reclaimed wood at Manomin Resawn Timbers is salvaged from 19th and early 20th century barns, factories, and warehouses, structures built during the Industrial Revolution from old growth hardwoods that grew slower and denser than the trees available today. Through our detailed process of denailing, kiln drying, and precision milling, that history is preserved and prepared for a new life in modern homes.
Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, a homeowner, or a designer planning a space like this one, Manomin Resawn Timbers has reclaimed wood timbers, paneling, and mantels to fit your vision. Visit our showroom in Hugo, MN or reach out to us with a call or a message to discover the antique charm of reclaimed wood.

The Owner of this home is a bit of a traditionalist, so no composite decking for her!
We used mahogany for the decking, lattice, and balustrade. All the flat trim is PVC. There is much debate about composite and PVC materials versus wood, and there's points to be made by both sides. However, when it comes to PVC trim versus primed pine, there simply is no contest. The pine today is what's called "new" growth, and just is simply not as resilient as the "old growth" pine of generations past. The "new growth" pine has a life span of no more that 10-15 years in our harsh climate. PVC, which has a limitless life span, when painted looks exactly like wood, and will look new for decades.

Designed to maximize function with minimal impact, the studio serves up adaptable square footage in a wrapping almost healthy enough to eat.
The open interior space organically transitions from personal to communal with the guidance of an angled roof plane. Beneath the tallest elevation, a sunny workspace awaits creative endeavors. The high ceiling provides room for big ideas in a small space, while a cluster of windows offers a glimpse of the structure’s soaring eave. Solid walls hugging the workspace add both privacy and anchors for wall-mounted storage. Towards the studio’s southern end, the ceiling plane slopes downward into a more intimate gathering space with playfully angled lines.
The building is as sustainable as it is versatile. Its all-wood construction includes interior paneling sourced locally from the Wood Mill of Maine. Lengths of eastern white pine span up to 16 feet to reach from floor to ceiling, creating visual warmth from a material that doubles as a natural insulator. Non-toxic wood fiber insulation, made from sawdust and wax, partners with triple-glazed windows to further insulate against extreme weather. During the winter, the interior temperature is able to reach 70 degrees without any heat on.
As it neared completion, the studio became a family project with Jesse, Betsy, and their kids working together to add the finishing touches. “Our whole life is a bit of an architectural experiment”, says Jesse, “but this has become an incredibly useful space.”
