and stone works; creating a stunning yet comfortable, one-

of-a-kind modern-mountain paradise; all with unmatched

attention to detail.

of the most exquisite Wright designs. A well-proportioned mixture of the exposed,

Douglas fir timber frame with steel tie rods and cables produce a strong, magnificent

feel to the home - complementing the layout and producing a warm back to nature

feeling.
