Russian Roof Details
As far back as the 14th century massive roofs of houses in the Northern Dvina River Region of NW Russia were topped with an entire larch log, its roots hanging over the gable of the house. From the root ball Russian carpenters used an axe to carve sculptures, often in the shape of a hen or a horse. These were called "okhlupen" and had the function of protecting inhabitants of the house from illnesses, thieves, fires and evil forces. There was a saying in the north of Russia, "Kuritsa na krishe, v dome tishe." "With a hen on the roof, it's quiet at home."

The client's request for a house that was modern, light and clean-lined was the impetus for the implementation of razorlike forms of the roofline, which both frame and protect.

So charming - love the little path to the front door.
Beautiful color combination:
Have you ever noticed that the colors we see can be described simply in two different types of categories? Natural and unnatural. I noticed while shopping last weekend some really unattractive color combinations and I said to myself why oh why did someone think that looks good because looking at this is painful to my eyes. So let me give you a few tips of what to lookout for when you are making your color decisions.

This mixed-income housing development on six acres in town is adjacent to national forest. Conservation concerns restricted building south of the creek and budgets led to efficient layouts.
All of the units have decks and primary spaces facing south for sun and mountain views; an orientation reflected in the building forms. The seven detached market-rate duplexes along the creek subsidized the deed restricted two- and three-story attached duplexes along the street and west boundary which can be entered through covered access from street and courtyard. This arrangement of the units forms a courtyard and thus unifies them into a single community.
The use of corrugated, galvanized metal and fiber cement board – requiring limited maintenance – references ranch and agricultural buildings. These vernacular references, combined with the arrangement of units, integrate the housing development into the fabric of the region.
A.I.A. Wyoming Chapter Design Award of Citation 2008
Project Year: 2009

The courtyard entry offers its own intimate firepit and outdoor living area, perfect for a glass of wine with neighbors in this award-winning infill community.
