Cedar & Stone

Warm vertical cedar, dark metal roofing, and natural stone on a modern build outside Lakeview.

Three exterior materials, one house, and no clashing. The trick was settling on the metal roof color first and letting the cedar tone and stone blend follow from there.

Choosing the palette

We pulled full-size samples and set them outside in daylight. Small chips lie — cedar in particular reads far warmer at scale than it does on a two-inch sample.

Stop by any of our four Central Michigan yards and a member of our staff will walk you through the options, pull real samples, and put together a material list you can build from.
