Dublin Lakefront Home
Set along the shoreline of Dublin Lake, this custom residence required a cladding solution that felt authentic to its natural surroundings while meeting the performance demands of a New England climate. The homeowners wanted real wood—not plastic, cement, aluminum, or composite—yet needed a material that would hold up long-term and take paint beautifully.
ICON® thermally modified Radiata Pine provided the ideal balance. With its smooth, clean profile and exceptional stability, it delivered the right mix of value, durability, and design flexibility.

Project Benefits
ICON Radiata elevated this project by providing superior dimensional stability that ensured a smooth, consistent painted finish, coupled with the long-term durability needed for a lakefront climate. Its real-wood aesthetic aligned with the homeowners’ desire to avoid synthetic or manufactured alternatives. Once painted, ICON’s clean and modern profile reinforced the home’s architectural lines, contributing to a refined exterior that balanced design appeal with long-lasting function.
Design Notes
The lakefront setting and modern architectural style called for a material that could perform in varying moisture conditions while maintaining a refined look. ICON Radiata’s smooth Classic profile created a streamlined finish that paired well with the dark-gray paint selected by the homeowners.
This project also served as the architectural team’s first experience with ICON. Their confidence was strengthened through recommendations from local partners and builders already familiar with ICON’s performance on high-end residential projects, ensuring a smooth specification and installation process.
