Lap Siding
Most lap siding is installed in even rows, but we felt that would be too harsh for this home. The aesthetic of Craftsman architecture was a response to the Industrial Revolution, emphasizing traditional, handmade craftsmanship. We felt we could preserve the Craftsman spirit by installing the siding in a pattern that feels organic--both randomly structured and completely cohesive at the same time. We used various sizes of James Hardie cement siding to help mimic the natural sediment layers of earth.
