Building a house. A simple, small house. Passive solar. Natural
insulation (denim.) With a large loft and quiet reading nook. Small
cozy bedrooms with dome ceilings. A breezeway that can work as an extra
sleeping area. The living areas face south.

The above photos were taken
in January. All the native grasses and irises were moved to containers
for replanting. Trees that had to come down as they were leaning are
finding their way into this house. The remaining logs, mainly fir and
bishop pine, were donated to an organization that cuts it up and gives
it to seniors on limited income in the area.
In March, the cupola and outside walls were up. There are so many decisions to make. Bathtubs, windows, roofing, etc. I am still trying to keep everything with a quiet elegance, but quiet elegance can get costly. Natural it is. Simply Home.
Oh there will so much wonderful light filling the inside.
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by, Linda. Even on foggy, rainy days the house is filled with light. Although the house is very small, the living area seems expansive. I will post more photos soon.
DeleteWhat a beautiful home - it makes me feel quiet and anchored just looking at the photos. You will fill it with elegance with just your presence. Lovely indeed! And yes the light filtering in is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Judy. I'm not too sure of my elegance, but I will try to fill this house with simple and honest intention.
