we are building the IGS 4020 and want to match the color of the shakes you have in your rendering. Could you tell us what the exact stain color is? And would you think round columns would look good? thanks...we are really excited just at the bids stage for building. we plan to make the house green using interlocking concrete block and geothermal.

Hi Ann:
When we commission these renderings we don't have a stain color, we just keep adjusting the color of the hatch pattern until we think we have it right. I suggest that you get a local paint store to lend you some sample rings of actual stained wood and take them to the site and test them up against the wall.
Round colums could look very good. They just need to have a slight taper, and should be a 14"-16" diameter (at the bottom) if there is just one, and paired ones could be 12". If you are using round ones, I prefer having them full length and eliminating the tapered stone bases. The columns should be the same color as your window trim.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
