Based on a house designed in 1920 by California architect, Bernard Maybeck, this Timber-frame home is both primary residence and work place for a fiber artist.

Living spaces are arranged around a central, enclosed courtyard, as they would be in a traditional northern European farmhouse.

The plan includes three separate activity zones: living room-studio and master bedroom loft, a guest suite and library; and a single car garage. The simple geometry of the U-shaped house is accented by a steeply pitched roof, gray stucco walls and tall window bays.

The reclaimed Douglas fir timber frame and thoughtfully designed interior finishes share the common language of fine craftsmanship.

Custom built cherry cabinets and granite countertops are examples of the beautiful natural materials and fine craftsmanship evident in every detail of the house.

The owner is surrounded by the tools and materials of her craft; looms, spinning wheels and skeins of homespun wool.

The built-in, under-the-stair storage cabinet has the simple lines of a Japanese tansu, creating a comfortable blend of Asian and European design elements.
