Residence for Mr. and Mrs. Clark and their three boys.

Constructed in 1969 by Senac & Mann of 4" solid fir planks splined to each other - treated on the exterior with a preservative and the interior was treated with a sealer/wax.

The site is a steep slope, heavily treed, and clay type soil. Significant effort was taken to ensure stability of structure and preservation of the natural beauty of the site and the creek which runs through the property.

One enters the home via a stair, from ground under the kitchen bridge, to the center of the upper floor.

This home is an early ( the 60's) example of sustainable/green design , well before these words were in our vocabulary."
