YEAR BUILT 2001

Completed in 2001 after two years of hands-on construction, this remarkable home reflects its architect-owner’s deep curiosity about the relationship between design and craftsmanship. Serving as their own general contractors, the couple built most of the house themselves. The home’s design celebrates exposed framing—what the architect calls a “filigree of small wood sticks”—and expresses the structure’s beauty through its materials and visible construction. Built on a 2x6, 24-inch grid, every element, from the trusses to the cabinetry, follows this rhythm, creating visual harmony throughout. Nestled on a half-acre lot and carefully sited to preserve mature trees, the house connects seamlessly to nature, providing natural shade and seasonal light. Thoughtful additions, including a workshop and a new studio space, extend the home’s philosophy of elegant simplicity and quiet retreat—a true “ship in the woods” where design and life intertwine.
