Tetherow Project

The Tetherow project, designed by award winning architect/design firm Hacker Architects, is an incredible display of understated excellence.  The clean and simple lines of this Bend, OR home, are underpinned by incredible design, and top notch building construction by local Bend firm KN Builders.  The design called for the same wood surface to flow from floors, to walls, and ceilings.  The design also called for no bevels at the edges of the planks, so this meant that it would have to be finished-in-place.  Huge windows extend below the floor level and above the ceiling level;  this required that the flooring product be extremely stable, so that it could be cut/manipulated to several custom formats, including cutting air duct louvers directly into planks of flooring.   Finally, because of the expansive open design, it was important that the flooring planks were long length, and of very clean grain.  

Given the various design requirements, our Castle Grande Raw from the Country Club line, was ultimately selected, and the finishing was done in-place by the flooring and painting contractors. We couldn’t be happier with how this project turned out. It is an excellent showcase of modern design, and shows that using wood planks on the walls and ceilings really enhances the connection between design and nature.
