Modernism, forever in the present. The bold and efficient use of modern materials and technology, designed for comfort and utility. Forever timely in a Lindal Cedar Home. Modernism. More than a design style. Rather a lifestyle. Shunning excess for efficiency; whimsy for order. And from that order, a calming sense of strength and well being.
Modernism in North American residential design found its voice in the 1950s, after a period of worldwide conflict and deprivation for the common good. Confidence reemerged with restraint. A deepening respect for industrial products, manufactured with precision, gained favor over craft. The new architecture was fresh and exuberant. The systematic and repetitious use of building components spoke of order and efficiency.
Today, modernism continues to evolve. Perhaps now more than ever, the efficient use of energy and materials, and a respect for the precious resource of time to plan and build, bring a new meaning to modernism. The face of modernism continues to evolve and often eludes definition. But the one constant is that the dream of modernism, as described by Karrie Jacobs in the tenth anniversary edition of Dwell, is “to live‌forever in the present.â€?1 1.

Lindal is Warm Modern. It begins with the natural strength and beauty of nature’s most perfect building material: Western Red Cedar. The systematic efficiency and lack of superfluous trim in modern residential architecture suggests to some an unwelcoming sterile environment, a frosty backdrop for living.
Cedar, architectural grade glulam beams and other fine and sustainable engineered components, a Lindal home radiates a welcoming warmth and a comforting sense of strength.
Nothing could be further from life in a Lindal Cedar Home.
The carefully planned walls of glass, framed in cedar, create an almost seamless transition to nature and fill each Lindal with natural light, changing in intensity throughout the day and in hue with the change of seasons.
The highly efficient and enduring Lindal post-and-beam system provides an orderly framework for living. Beautifully crafted of carefully selected Western Red
