PROUD DESIGNATIONS:
Joseph Ketner Construction in Architectural West Magazine
Joseph Ketner Construction is jazzed about a recent home siding project in Northeast Portland. The home and the work involved in creating the appropriately named Jazz House has received a substantial amount of press and industry coverage — and rightly so.
The home’s owner, a jazz musician, tasked contractors, including JKC, with creating something unique, beautiful, low maintenance, and — also appropriate for a musician — a professional sound room.
Willie Dean of Ground Up Design Works in Portland, Oregon, designed a three-story, 2,800-square-foot home that nestles perfectly into the surrounding landscape.
A truly exceptional feature of the home is the Shou Sugi Ban Siding, commonly known as Yakisugi siding, that Joseph Ketner Construction installed on the outside. William Beleck, general manager of Nakamoto Forestry North America, has called JKC’s siding installation “immaculate.”
Nakamoto is the largest manufacturer of yakisugi in the world. Yakisugi is a traditional method of wood preservation in Japan. Suyaki itself is a type of yakisugi.
“This modest yet fabulous three-story new build is a composite modern and traditional design by residential architect Willie Dean,” Nakamoto writes, “featuring a professional music studio buildout at grade, living area on the first floor, and bedrooms upstairs. It was built by Bachelor General Contractor and is clad with an opulent volume of Suyaki highlighted with STK (Select Tight Knots) grade western red cedar.”
All told, the home combines those modern and traditional features into an inviting space, including an open interior design, a steeply pitched roof, and multiple outdoor areas.
It was an honor to work with such talented builders to bring this home to life!
