Also of note is the front porch who's geometry is based on a mathematical equation that I have been working out for 20+ years. It's a beautiful curve that can be applied to large and small scales. A secret I might share.... Jay Weiland

Designed and arranged by award-winning and acclaimed fractal artist San Jaya Prime, and collected from a set of foliated black and white marble fractals that match the natural geometry of maps, terrains, and feathers. The full set includes the shower curtain, bathroom mat, towel set (bath, hand, and wash), toothbrush holder, and soap or lotion dispenser. You can find each of them here on Houzz: - Shower Curtain: https://www.houzz.com/product/130675887-foliated-marble-as-a-geometric-map-of-the-universe-high-contrast-black-and-white-modern-shower-curtains - Bathroom Mat: https://www.houzz.com/product/130676684-high-contrast-black-and-white-fanned-fractal-feathers-feathers-in-halftone-dots-modern-bath-mats - Towel Set: https://www.houzz.com/product/130676688-silver-shikoba-black-and-white-fractal-feathers-bath-towel-set-in-high-contrast-modern-bath-towels - Toothbrush Holder and Soap Dispenser Set: https://www.houzz.com/product/130692240-tooth-brush-holder-and-soap-dispenser-set-with-black-and-white-fractal-of-foliat-modern-bathroom-accessory-sets

Custom coffee station featuring rift white oak cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a sculptural curved peninsula. The adjacent architectural wood wall incorporates a repeating arched pattern inspired by mathematical principles developed with the homeowners.

Expert residential wallcovering installation specializing in delicate silks, grasscloth, metallic papers, and murals. Delivering pristine custom cuts and mathematical precision for sophisticated modern interiors.

Designed by Tim Higbee of Closet Works Making our upper cabinets on the mud room wall directly abut and attach to the existing kitchen cabinets while adding a similar crown was a challenge. That required mathematics and exact dimensions of the depths of both cabinetry, the height both of the existing crown moldings and their reveals, and how the two would interact.

3d modeling is the technical art of developing a mathematical, wire frame representation of any three-dimensional object. 3d models could be displayed as an image in print using a process called 3d rendering or used in a computer simulation.

On first glance, this staircase reads as restrained. White oak treads rise with natural warmth, metal balusters hold their disciplined rhythm, and the painted black railing traces a clean, straight path upward. Then you notice the elliptical stringer wrap, and the whole composition shifts. Unlike a circular curve drawn with a compass, an ellipse requires mathematical calculation and a craftsman who knows how to make that complexity disappear. Here, it does exactly that. Natural light finishes the story. Moving through the space across the day, it deepens the oak grain, catches the metal, and lets the black railing guide the eye along the handrail's elliptical path from start to finish. Restraint brought the design this far. One well-executed curve made it memorable. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company

The deep striated blue is painted on the entry walls to the kitchen. This indigo is offset by mathematically precision stark white squares positioned along the long entry wall of the kitchen. Dark deep blues in the small ante space are constrictive while the spaces upon which it opens is made to feel even enlarged and lighter.

This modern structure is a new primary residence for a soon-to-be-retired professor of mathematics. The three-bedroom, 2-1/2 bath custom home is primarily on two floors but features a third-story look-out containing a study and presenting panoramic views of the gorge. Large picture windows on the main living floor open the interior to notable views on two distinct axes: the westerly view presents a view of the Columbia River as it winds its way toward Portland, the northerly view frames the majestic Mt. St. Helens. The bottom-most level is a two-bedroom accessory dwelling area for extended family to be used during extended visits. A three-car garage makes space for snow removal equipment, two vehicles and a limited shop. The home features a rooftop photovoltaic array providing enough electric power to sell back to the utility district during much of the year, and a geothermal loop for heating and cooling. Corrugated metal siding and standing seam roofing meets the safety requirements of the area that is prone to forest fires.
