This house’s Scandinavian style is warmed with timeless details reclaimed from traditional southern homes.  The chevron patterns in the kitchen and fireplaces, and the traditional beaded baseboards soften the efficient form. Materials such as Montana sandstone for the chimneys, Alaskan cedar siding, and white oak hardwood floors bring out the clean design and construction, while features such as the covered porch, with electric scroll down screens, and the breakfast nook with its family-oriented implications, are a nod to older classic houses of Louisiana, where the owners are from.
