See this weekend's Globe & Mail for Adele Weder's article on Fred Hollingsworth's Moon/Miller residence in North Vancouver.

CM said...: Have you ever come across a detail for the application of the siding on this project?; October 25, 2011 at 8:54 AM
CM McLellan said...: Sorry I haven't. Are there any architects who could weigh in?; October 27, 2011 at 8:33 AM
CM said...: I'm an Architect but have never been able to find anything. It's almost like a horizontal board and batten, but that makes no sense from a water ingress standpoint. The narrow boards that project beyond the face of the wider boards would need to be handled like window sills - a sort of wooden through wall flashing, if you will. I want to go to the Moon residence and take it apart to see how it all goes together.; October 28, 2011 at 8:58 AM

CM McLellan said...: It does seem like it would be quite a bit of work and somewhat counterintuitive re: ingress. And yet the siding looks to be in decent shape. I'd be interested in the detail as well.; October 31, 2011 at 10:34 AM
