Modern Wooden Home Design

Its compact shape and modest scale help it fit into the traditional neighborhood without calling attention to itself. The house was built around a large birch tree, with dwarf fountain grass and porcupine grass planted in front. A weeping blue atlas cedar provides a focal point near the front door. Mahogany flooring, a continuation of the mahogany backyard deck and front porch, is enhanced with a clear finish. The home's open floor plan is exemplified by the loft-like master suite that looks out onto the backyard through a double-height living room. Sliding pocket doors and windows, allow for privacy and separation when desired.
