White Pine floor dazzles in Portage, Wisc., live-work studio
- Posted by
Wow! The architect’s description of this studio, designed for living and working, sounds spectacular enough, but the photos really floored us — if you’ll excuse the bad pun. Here’s how the architect-led design-build firm, Midwest Modern LLC, characterizes this new construction in Portage, Wisconsin, which makes dramatic use of Carlisle Eastern White Pine flooring:
“Rustic, modern LIVE/WORK Studio wholly built with Insulated Concrete Forms. Passive solar design and high performance shell fused with in-floor radiant coupled to geo-thermal. Boldly sited atop a ravine escarpment and capitalizing on breathtaking views over the Wisconsin River valley, this study in opposites is an instant family heirloom.”
Carlisle Sales and Design Consultant Gary Ryer of our Stoddard, N.H., headquarters notes that the floor, in 6-inch face widths, was glued directly on concrete. In the great room, the planks run up to the floor-to-ceiling windows and are aligned with the decking outside for a continuous look. The homeowner finished the floor herself with Carlisle’s Oatmeal Stout stain and Tung Oil.
It all adds up to, as Gary Ryer notes, “another great example of what many consider a rustic floor in a very contemporary/minimalist setting.”
