When it comes to log cabins, the more unfinished the look, the more authentic the feel. To that end, Clark & Zook Architects didn’t use a heavy-handed approach to remodel this 1820s-era wood cabin. Instead, they opted to adapt but not erase its aged visage, installing rough-hewn dogwood tree porch railings, salvaged wood doors, and an industrial-style outdoor ceiling fan in the exterior. Indoors, the elegant “chinked” effect of the chocolate-colored wood log walls separated by mortar, was kept intact but accentuated with floors, joists, stairs, and ceilings made from pine or reclaimed barn wood.
