A Simple House on a Budget
We designed this house for a retired couple.

 




A wooden porch shields the west walls from hot afternoon sun, and provides a cool place to sit, overlooking a meadow and creek.



The bale walls rest on a wood floor above the ground. Large windows featured generous window seats.



The truss roof was overhung 3' for rain and sun protection and stuccoed to protect from wildfires.



An arched opening between the living room and the dining area
