The exterior facade of this home is clad in heavily textured native basalt, reclaimed wood siding, and gnarly, scabrous timbers — lending a strong material presence that is typically not experienced beyond historic structures.

Spread out over two levels, this home encompasses 3,150 square feet of living space with authentic details throughout.
