This building combines kitchen, dining, and living areas under one big sweeping roof. Structure consists of rustic logs, poles, and custom sawn heavy timbers. There are no full-height walls. During the Oregon summer, a season made all the more brilliant by the length and wetness of the Oregon winter, this structure becomes the heart of an informal compound of buildings that have been assembled and refined over thirty years by the owners.
