DESIGN LAB KEEPING THE PIECES Simple as a child’s drawing, it sits on rolling terrain overlooking the town of Overbrook, in the Tallgrass Prairie region of eastern Kansas. The land is dotted with broken limestone, much of it containing fossils of sea creatures from the inland sea that covered this area eons ago. Built plainly out of southern yellow pine and corru-gated metal siding, the structure was solid but not square. To support the insertion of a bedroom, bath, loft, kitchen, and dining/living area, builders Delaney Moore and Caleb New yellow pine plywood was used to stiffen the building. Originally intending to cover the plywood, Steve liked the look enough to leave it exposed. The flooring and wall material keep the exterior’s yellow pine tradition alive. 46 RESIDENTIALDESIGNMAGAZINE.COM VOL. 6, 2024
