This project occupies a low ridge at the tip of a small island and is flanked by a beach to either side. The two beaches suggested the image of the two-faced god Janus who was the inspiration for the design. The house is flanked by two large porches, one facing either beach, which offer shelter from the elements while inviting the visitors outdoors. Three buildings are linked together to form a string of buildings that follow the terrain. Massive concrete columns lend strength and support while becoming part of the language of the forest in which the house is situated. Salvaged wood forms the majority of the interior structure and the floors. Light is introduced deep into the house through doors, windows, clerestories, and dormer windows. The house is organized along two long enfilades that order space and invite long views through the building and to the landscape beyond.

Love watching t.v. as you drift off to sleep but just don't have the room or wall space for an armoire or to mount that flat screen? The foot of the bed comes to the rescue once again. With just the press of a button your t.v. will gracefully rise up from the cabinet in which it's hidden. When you're all done, press the button and the t.v. becomes a nice cabinet, once again.
With the press of a button, in true spy-world fashion, a hidden television will rise from an unassuming cabinet making it readily available for viewing from a nearby seating group. This high-tech t.v. most likely even pivots for lazy Saturday morning viewing in bed.
However, a smaller rug can also be very effective placed at the foot of a bed, bringing in just a little layer of interest and pattern. Here the rug width should extend beyond the width of the bed to feel balanced.
Although I'm not typically a fan of the vintage kitschy owls our parents or grandparents seemed to be so fond of, this particular piece seems to strike a chord with me. Perhaps it's the clean white walls or the mimicking woodwork, or maybe it's simply the piece's large scale, but I find this wooden owl to be so very cool.
