When architecture firm Olson Kundig were designing this house on Mercer Island in Washington, they decided to showcase two different modern siding materials.
The single-family home features a combination of durable materials like exterior ipe wood siding – also called Brazilian walnut – and weathering steel.
Both of these materials provide long-term, low-maintenance protection against the wet climate, as well adding visual interest as they weather over time.
