HEIRLOOM CABIN EXTERIOR STYLE GUIDE AND SOURCE LIST
How do you infuse a new build with a sense of heritage?
Well, it comes down to a series of important decisions. To name a few:
1 - Select materials and profiles that have historical precedents.
2 - Incorporate hand-crafted elements like a solid wood door.
3 - Pay close attention to proportions. How are the window lites divided?
4 - Choose living finishes that will patina. Such as unlacquered brass.
5 - Select colours from the natural palette. Go for hues like muted green, earthy brown, deep blues and rusty ochres.
In our Heirloom Cabin Exterior Style Guide we cover all the building details that matter. We share our notes on what choices to make, why, and how to craft a cabin, cottage or home that has authentic vintage character. All decisions we made when designing and building The Heirloom Sleeping Cabin.
