By observing and measuring the interior of the nautilus shell, the ancient sages opined that there was A Divine Expressions Of Creation which was a Profound Expressions Of Nature’s Efficiency.
Copper Harbor, Michigan on the very tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula is where this gorgeous home is located. Stackwall corners, cedar cordwood infill and a loft with dormers, looking at Lake Superior. Very nicely done.
Vancouver Island is home to a rain forest, mountains, lush valleys, and gorgeous sea coast. In addition, a Western Red Cedar, double wall cordwood home graces the islands foothills.
The foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada is the home of this stackwall cornered beauty. The metal gable ends, black roof and painted corners give it a special ambiance.
