People forget to look up. Look up at the tall buildings on city streets, at the canopy of trees in the forest, and at the pillowy clouds on a summer’s day. In the home we know we would spend a lot more time looking up if we had one of these wood ceilings! 

Why is it that we come back to wood for our home design, time and time again? Wood has a long history of being used in home construction for a reason. It is a durable structural element for a home and it shines with natural beauty.
