Beautiful modern cottage in an awesome setting.

I share the concern about too many vertical window divisions; perhaps the design was deliberately trying to evoke a forest full of trees?

This feels exactly like home, in a multitude of ways, as well as in memory. I believe that at some point, studies will show (if they have not already done so) that the use of certain shapes and materials in building design influence physiological processes to a large degree, and optimum values found to match many of those here…my only reservation being, as one other has noted, the surfeit of joinery as opposed to glass, though of course to have proportioned things otherwise would have given the building a completely different and perhaps less inspired geometry. Even with that minor folly, the house is terrifically honest and kind. How clear of mind you’d be, living here!

I just wish to express how happy I became when I discovered the Wishbone Chairs in such an impressive and stylish home (I am the manufacturer of the Hans J. Wegner, Wishbone Chairs).
You have here created a fantastic house in the middle of a nature where it all melts into one very calm and natural environment. I love your style. Good luck with you new house – and with the Wishbone Chairs!!
Sincerely yours,

OMG!
Beautiful use of space. Are the designers cubists?

This is really amazing. I like the windows and the use of wood walls. It gives that refreshing feeling. Also, it’s the perfect way to maximize the beautiful view outside.

To my taste the windows are divided in too many sections. Half of the window posts would certainly improve the view.

I’d like to visit. . .am curious about the guest house. I’d be willing to cook while I’m there – the kitchen looks perfect. Wandering out to the end-deck to sip wine from a neighboring vintner between cooking tasks would suit me fine.

Clean, simple, inspiring, beautiful. This is what I’d LOVE to see more often. Scares me to think of what i’d do to live in a house like this. haha. Truly a beautiful home. This puts those whitewash, sterile looking homes to shame!
