This shows the Dining room which is on the southeast corner of the house. There is a large garden bay window facing to the east. The right hand of the double french doors is the typically operable one. The view to the south is framed by the timberframe upstairs deck framing and the view is of spectacular mountains looking across the Solar Ranch Open Space. Deer and elk regularly bed-down here and when there is snow, in winter, cross country ski tracks often cross the meadow.

The Great Room as seen from the Dining Room. The timberframe rafters are let-in above and the posts dramatically come into the room. Again, the windows have sill extensions, the Living Room has recessed lighting in the wood ceiling and the timberframe is structural and oak pegged.

The Doug Fir posts create separate spaces in the open floor plan. There is a cable track light across the ceiling of the Great Room.

This is the centerpiece of the house. Again, every corner has phone, ethernet and coax.

The ceiling of the Great Room has two skylights. Next to these are set two in-ceiling Polk speakers which are wired to a volume control at the Living Room/Kitchen corner and then to the office desk in the entry hall. The central post has three braces mortise and tenoned and again held together with oak pegs. The views to the south from the windows is spectacular.

This view is from the Living Room/Kitchen corner. The drywall between the timberframe posts creates a wonderful contrast and sets the wood apart. The west wall of the Living Room is plumbed for a free standing gas stove if desired.

All of the interior walls and the ceiling between floors have sound insulation and the floor joists are engineered I-beams. The bamboo floor is glueless click-together and floating which allows for expansion due to the in-floor heating system.
