This award-winning remodel—honored as New Hampshire Home Builders’ 2024 Home of the Year Remodel—highlights the versatility of ICON® across both interior and exterior applications. From the warmth of the screened-in porch to a spa-like sauna retreat, ICON brought clean lines, rich grain, and a refined look to every corner of the project.

Why ICON

The homeowners desired natural, high-performance materials throughout their renovation. ICON was proposed by LR3 due to its aesthetic compatibility with traditional wood choices and superior durability. Its clean, vertical grain pattern, class 1 decay resistance and perfectly clear grade made it the perfect solution.

PROJECT IMPACT

ICON® allowed the team to carry a consistent design language across unique environments, including high-moisture areas like a sauna and outdoor shower. Its thermal modification improves dimensional stability, making it a practical choice for these demanding uses.

Design Notes

The standout feature is the stunning sauna, where ICON® replaced traditional cedar, providing the same warmth with added durability. Window and door trim, along with a ceiling profile maintains a cohesive visual tone throughout. This project highlights ICON’s versatility, delivering the same performance and aesthetic impact indoors as it does in exterior applications.
