I had an inquiry yesterday about the pattern shown in the upper portions of the gables in this house. The home is a cape cod inspired design I created a few years ago.

| The entire house is clad in cedar shingles. We used a semi-solid wood stain made by Cabot. Sorry - I don't remember the specific color. The grey shingles are contrasted with the linen colored trim and columns. |

| The diamond pattern is also created from cedar shingles with a custom cut. This is a bit labor intensive, but provides a large design impact. You can create many types of patterns using this technique, but I think the diamond weave is elegant while remaining understated. Note that I also projected the upper gable outwards to create a shadow line and provide a protective overhang for the windows. |
