Copper Anyone?
The exterior of Blythdale House is nearing completion this week as the copper flashing installation is completed. The spanish cedar and copper flashing provide a striking contrast to the muted split-face and honed Arriscraft Stone and grey Superpanel. The Owners hope to move in by the end of the year.

Installation of stone begins at Blyth Dale House
The installation of the exterior stone cladding has begun at Blyth Dale House. The stone veneer selected for the project is the blue-grey Adair limestone, both in a fine-dressed and split faced finish. The natural stone is manufactured by Arriscraft International(www.arriscraft.com) and is extracted from their Georgian Bay quarry . The stone cladding will be complemented by a 2" thick spanish cedar wood siding, copper soffits and fascias, as well as a cement-board slate-like panel manufactured by 'Superpanel' (www.superpanel.ca). Stay tuned for updated construction photographs.

Blythdale House Progresses on Schedule
Construction on our new project, Blythdale House, is proceeding on schedule. The exterior finished will include copper, ArrisCraft honed and split-face stone, and thick Spanish cedar siding on the cantilevered mud room section. A wonderful alternative to stucco has been found for the north and east elevations. We will be using a flint-coloured cement-board panel known as SuperPanel (www.engineeredassemblies.com). The product will have the appearance of large sheets of slate.
We have also recently completed the lighting design for the interior and exterior of the house. Low-voltage energy-efficient LED lights will be used to light the interior courtyard and glass guards while the exterior facade and 2nd floor canopy will be lit with a combination of ground lighting and uplighting. The results promise to be spectacular.

Finally, we are negotiating with Solera (www.soleraenergies.com) to supply and install both Photovoltaic and hydronic solar panels.
