ABOVE & FACING PAGE: Timber f rames don't have to be rustic. This home sits along the west side of Cayuga Lake on a unique, steeped, sloped site and combines a natural
Douglas fir and steel structure with Carrera marble tile and reclaimed walnut floors. We twisted the H-style footprint to create more dramatic sweeping views to the north
and south. The complex timber f rame welcomes you in the entry and stair tower with large ceilings and Clere Story windows. As you move through the house, various
ceiling heights with wood and steel details create specific spaces in the open floorplan, allowing people to move f reely through the spaces but not get lost in one large
room. The line between the interior and exterior is blurred with the use of large operable walls that open up to the vast deck, grill kitchen, and custom hot tub.
