2014 WOOD DESIGN AWARDS - WINNER Interior Beauty Design James Tuer, JWT Architecture and Planning Forest House, Bowen Island, BC Wood was used throughout the interior both as a finishing material as well as the primary structure which is exposed and celebrated like a fine piece of furniture. The Douglas fir framing, posts and beams lends itself to the natural forest setting and connects the occupants to the surrounding nature. Over time, the fir will patina with age and create a soft and Zen-like environment. In select areas the wood is painted bright red creating a wonderful celebratory accent reminiscent of the Scandinavian heritage of the home owners. “Comfortable and warm. Playful and fun. Wonderful exterior details. This project feels good about the wood.” - jury comments High resolution images available. Please e-mail [email protected]
