House in the woods : external shots
The external appearance of the house, with its timber frame construction fully clad in cedar shingles that are gracefully weathering to grey, blends in with its wooded surrounds, almost as if it has always been there. Two vernacular forms, one for living, one for sleeping, sit at an angle to one another, connected by a glazed entrance link. There is an inherent softness to the house’s natural materials, neutral tones and rounded and non-rectilinear edges. Concrete floors by
@remarkablepolished inside and out tie the spaces together, while carefully-placed windows frame views.
