House in the Woods


This design was inspired by one of my former employers.

There are two sections:  Living and Sleeping.  The living area is open with a center kitchen, dining room, living room and recreation area.  To maintain openness in the kitchen, "wall cabinets" were hung from the ceiling.
South elevation above shows a new enclosed porch.
North and East views at the back of the house overlook the Cleveland Metro Parks and the east branch of the Rocky River. The site is populated with mature oak, beech, black walnut and hickory.  
The stained glass window at the entry came from a demolished house in University Circle.
The living room faces a valley overlooking a creek that runs to the river.
There are 36 windows in the house. 24 were custom built on site. The remaining 12 are manufactured operable windows. 

The solid oak floor was installed over 2x2 sleepers on a concrete slab.
