We made sure that the dogs had their own space too! The wash station was built into this room complete with glass subway tiles. The food and water bowls fit underneath the wash area to keep them out of the way but accessible for everyday use.

This off-grid mountain barn home located in the heart of the Rockies sits at 7,500 feet and has expansive, beautiful views of the foothills below. The model is a Barn Pros 36 ft. x 36 ft. Denali barn apartment with a partially enclosed shed roof on one side for outdoor seating and entertainment area. The deck off the back of the building is smaller than the standard 12 ft. x 12 ft. deck included in the Denali package. Roll-up garage doors like the one shown at the front of the home are an add-on option for nearly any Barn Pros kit.
Inside, the finish is decidedly rustic modern where sheetrock walls contrast handsomely with the exposed posts and beams throughout the space. The owners incorporated garage parking, laundry, kitchenette with wood-burning stove oven, bathroom, workout area and a pool table all on the first floor. The upper level houses the main living space where contemporary décor and finished are combined with natural wood flooring and those same exposed posts and beams. Lots of natural light fills the space from the 18 ft. vaulted ceilings, dormer windows and French doors off the living room. The owners added a partial loft for additional sleeping and a functional storage area.

This is a comprehensive renovation of an early midcentury home in Portland. Finishes and fixtures were chosen for a warm contemporary feel to blend well with the home's origins, and we custom designed all new cabinetry, trim, and moldings. The remodel includes major energy updates--the client now powers their car via the roof's solar panels! Photos by Anna M Campbell

The oil rubbed bronze Equinox structure beautifully contrasts the light colored siding, trim and white louvers. The effect is dramatically inviting. Open louvers let in the light. But with the touch of a remove, the louvers will close for a watertight seal.

This Northwood’s retreat was designed and built in a sustainable process to minimize site disturbance. The primary structural beams of the main cabin are hemlock that were logged on site and cut in Henry Ford’s original mill. Most of the house is paneled in indigenous northern white cedar with hemlock ceilings and cabinets of red and white pine. The sub-floors are also made of hemlock. The home is timber framed, doweled, and jointed.
There is a high-efficiency propane generator and battery storage system that provides ample electric power. The home has been designed to take advantage of passive solar radiation and can be heated by the radiant bio fuel heating system. Walls and roof are super insulated and well vented to protect against moisture buildup. Natural ventilation is aided by the thermal chimney design that keeps the home cool and fresh throughout the summer.
The property has been recorded a conservation easement written to forever preserve the singular beauty of the steep slopes, ponds, and ridge lines. It provides that the land may not be divided or the timber harvested in a commercial cut.

The use of stucco and shingle siding together, along with varying roof pitches, creates a profile that can fit into several styles. The old concrete driveway was cut into slabs and re-used for stepping stones (seen left). Solar panels on the highest roof provide power that can been fed back into the grid.
