Some folks have a way of taking a building style and doing beautiful and amazing things with it. Here is a fine example of the cordwood construction method of building, refined and made beautiful. 
The covered porch, the curved railings and the green painted side doors blend with the cedar to give the building unmistakeable charm. 
The nearby sauna is completed with the same attention to detail and the cordwood infill is done with clean mortar joints and attractive patterns. 
The side porch has an ingenious method of drying kindling for the wood stove. Here comes the sun!
It is quite evident that this building has a vertical post and beam framework that is hidden with cordwood stubbie pieces. It is in the middle between each set of windows. These are all the photos I have of this amazing build. My attempts to get more information from the owners has not produced results. All we can do it enjoy the beauty of this work.
