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.
