CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary (or Modern) ranges from mid-century modern to the latest designs representing current trends towards sleek, contemporary design. Contemporary design is characterized by clean, simple lines, minimal decoration, lots of glass, and flat or shed rooflines. This home is built with our 8″ Round EverLogs with square posted corners. Our concrete timbers are also utilized as posts and beams supporting the deck.

Combined with mission style furniture, mounted trophies and native decoration this style will make anyone feel right at home in the outdoors.

Ranch-style is typically one story and often complimented with a finished basement and built in garages. Low exterior profile and roof lines are common and exterior decoration is limited. Ranch designs range from L or U-shaped to more complex floor plans. This beautiful homes uses our 16″ Hand-Hewn logs, concrete posts and beams. Local river rock was hand picked to use on the backside basement.
