Shades of Wright. We’ve got loads of this eco-chic in Idaho. No one seems to have integrated the homes into the landscape thoughtfully, though.
Sprightly feel and gorgeous use of space. Love the open common areas.

What? No blinds? No shutters?
The house may make “excellent use of natural light” but it gives no escape from it. Handsome as it is, one can’t see this house with children, the elderly or, in fact, anyone with a hangover.

I visited the summer home of a (very wealthy) friend in Maine some years ago; the layout and style was very similar. While you would think the common spaces would be very raucous, they weren’t; the high ceilings mitigated most of the reflected sound. The house was VERY homey; regardless of what room you were in downstairs, you felt as though you had access to everyone else, even if they were in a different space. As long as you like the people you are visiting with, the plan works.

Meh. As a timber framer, that place looks too busy and the great room looks friggin ridiculous. Looks like a pain in the ass to build too.

I love the house. I adore all the wood. However, I enjoy my privacy and this would make me feel way to exposed – even if it is in the middle of the forest.

Love it! I’d move there in a second.

not bad, personally i think the steel takes away from the building, im sure they had their reasons. one of those photos looks a bit wright-ish .. but i guess if i say that im saying all buildings with stone chimneys do ..

photoshopped? are we a little bitter that we don’t have a house like this? it’s beautiful.

The place looks divine. The steel with wood is done in a way I haven’t seen before; fabulous. The place is shown ultimately clean and that’s how ‘show’ photos are. They don’t look homey and they don’t look ‘lived in’. The place looks pretty dramatic to me. I’d like a walk through.

Probably sounds like an echo chamber in the living room/kitchen area….I agree with the other posters, way too much exposed wood…a nice contrast would have been a slate floor with warm throw rugs to soften up the clunky wood feel…the exterior has a wonderful flow, very inviting..

too much wood for my liking and way too much detail with all the expoed beams etc. I like the look of the outside and the scale of the rooms etc just the whole sauna thing doesn’t work for me

Holy shit, that’s a lot of wood.
