Bauer Residence

Summer 2006 design proposal for a timber frame home in Wolf Creek, Oregon.

The home located in a clearing on a hillside is to include a wrap around deck. The timber frame is to give it a rustic farmstead look.

In an area of extreme seasonal conditions radiant floor heat provides winter warmth. Doors on opposite sides of the home oriented with the slope take advantage of morning and evening breezes up and down the mountain slope to provide natural cooling in the summer.

A spiral stair leads to a second floor balcony. The balcony is separated from the master suite by a glass wall leading to a hall and window seat which separate the Master Bedroom from the Master Bath.

Exposed timber frame provides a warm and rustic feel to the interior.

A cooling tower with two electrically operated awning windows is aligned above the spiral stair. The tower provides natural light to the interior and allows the escape of hot air in the summer.

Located on farmland in the Southern Oregon mountains exterior materials provide fire resistance.

Metal shingle roofing mimics natural cedar shakes providing a rustic look.

Stained cement fiber shingles and cultured stone veneer complete the look of an old world farm building.
