Matching an existing log home addition requires sourcing logs of the same species, diameter, and taper as the original structure — then chinking and treating them to approximate the weathering of a 25-year-old building.
The new great room addition uses a vaulted ceiling with exposed log purlins that continues the structural logic of the original home, creating spatial continuity despite a clear joint at the connection point.
A covered transitional walkway links the new and original structures, providing a year-round protected circulation path that also creates an opportunity for outdoor sitting protected from Eagle River's cold winters.
