One of the things he said was that he looks for the "median" color of the tree trunks on a site and uses that as a basis for his palette. It creates what he memorably called "homes in the trees and trees in the homes." I think my goal in life is to be able to afford him to create my home.

Something very comforting in the tremendous views but also (oddly enough) in the ability to enclose oneself in a cocoon. I'd love to have one for myself. Fantastic house.

And perhaps more practical than the log cabin I had envisioned. No mention is made of waste disposal, etc. Are other interior pictures available?

I love the way that the whole sturcture does achieved this airial feeling even when the panels are closed. Desing in a high level of conciousness, every elements does provides and compliments each others with graces and purity. The tilt roof, and staircase and balcony adds to this feeling of lighlessness, and enhance, which to me speaks volumes, to the beautiful surronding in which the architects decided to gently root this wonderful vision of what can be achieved when architecture in embrasing is primary element. Integration in it's surroundings. Absolutely stunning!!!
