Moonrise Ranch
Built around two relocated rooms of a historic cabin (one built around 1841 and the other in the 1880s), this house is a synthesis of history, the land, and the owner's profound sense of place. Designed to be only one room deep in most places, the house is in complete harmony with its site. Its hull-like curved roof, cedar colonnades, deep porches, and palette of natural materials create a sense of well-being and quiet beauty. Read Michael Barnes' article on Moonrise here. There is a slide show of an architectural awards submission of this project here.
