Brandt – Beetle Kill Siding & Paneling
Beautiful blues, reds and golds begin to add warmth to the Brandt Residence. The exterior siding will darken over the next several months to rich grey, while the interior paneling will be left natural. With time it, the deeper golden colors will come through to contrast the blues.

Brandt – Blue Glass Bottle Wall
The owner created these glass bottle “windows” from various blue bottles and we arranged them to form the constellation Orion (a personal favorite) in her entry way. The exterior of the wall will be moss rock and quartz found on site and the interior of the wall will be beetle kill pine paneling.

Brandt – Steel Siding & Framed Arches
The interior spaces and views are coming together with the addition of drywall texture and framed arches. John Dahlenburg and his crew have begun installing the corrugated steel siding, that will slowly rust after a couple of wash downs with the hose when fully installed.

Brandt – Exterior materials / Eco Wood Treatment
The Brandt Home is now fully sheathed and we are applying the facia boards with an aging solution, Eco Wood Treatment. The beetle kill pine is so expressive with this solution. It will darken similar to the images with the roofing samples. The roof and window frames will be Hemlock Green.

Material Aging on CCMRD Pavilion
The pavilion, built in June of 2012, is aging well to show the contrast of the glowing interior beetle kill pine and the exterior beetle kill pine that was treated with an aging solution. The cold rolled corrugated steel was left to rust naturally.
Is it time for another music festival yet? WinterGrass?
Brandt Beetle Kill Pine Logs and sheathing
The two beetle kill logs have been placed in the Brandt home: one at the entry porch and one in the kitchen/living area. The logs came from Hester’s mill in Krembling, a great Colorado family company that has supplied the majority of lumber for Wheelock Construction over the past couple of decades. The blue and grey striations cover the entire surface of each log and both have quite a few knots. We chose to go with simple but expressive logs, as this is a small home with a lot of character.
