Twenty years ago when I was designing the house in which I now live, the two most important tools were an eight-foot stepladder and a chainsaw.
The chainsaw was used to make a dent in the thick forest at the site I had determined the house would be built.
Once I'd cleared enough trees to make a footprint, I would move the ladder around, climb up it, and ask myself, "What would I see if I placed a window here?"
And that's how the house was designed, which includes some 36 windows.
A recent visitor said, "I feel like I'm outdoors." Perfect. That's what I was looking for.
I am rewarded all year with magnificent views.But Autumn is the season that really shines, even on a rainy day.
Oh yes, autumn SHINES, even in the rain. You cleared a delightfully beautiful spot for your home in the woods. Cudos through the many years! Smiles and hugs, Patti and Cap
ReplyDeleteI see that Autumn 2019 begins this upcoming Monday, September the 23rd. Glorious photos above. Somehow I thought your magnificent home was older that having begun in 1999. You said 20 years so that would make it 1999 I think. It seems like 'forever' since we've visited. Years for sure. Nice Post. Cap in Ulaanbaatar and Patti in Anchorage.
