A secluded, modest-sized residence on family property, The Rambler embodies a deep connection to craftsmanship and community. Collaborating closely with local artisans, the 3-bedroom house integrates music and drawing spaces for its occupants, an architect and musician. Designed to embrace nature, the house features sheltering roofs and screen walls, expanding living spaces into the surrounding landscape. Its innovative design maximizes outdoor usability, offering potential for future expansion while prioritizing sustainability and material longevity. Crafted from locally-sourced materials like Douglas fir and cedar, the home blurs the line between indoor and outdoor, creating a harmonious blend of functionality and natural beauty. Brick screen walls extend into the landscape, seamlessly merging the structure with its surroundings, while thoughtful zoning allows for various activities from vegetable gardening to stargazing.
