OFFERING SUMMARY

​

Designed by the acclaimed architectural firm of Cutler Anderson and constructed by master craftsmen and the innovative builders of Tanglefoot Construction, the residential complex is a work of architectural and design ingenuity. Respecting and paying homage to its natural surroundings, it combines walls of layered rammed earth—the structural material of the Great Wall of China—handsome wood paneling and floors, and pervasive expanses of wood-framed floor-to-ceiling windows that admit floods of sunlight, reveal enchanting vistas, and create a sense of harmony with the exquisite natural setting. Indigenous soil was gathered from the area to create the organically hued rammed earth walls—both architecturally significant and environmentally friendly—that bind the home with its land. Interior ceilings soar to nearly 40 feet, while striking Douglas fir beams create uncommon angles and—in combination with skylights—patterns of shadows and light in hallways and elsewhere. Bringing new depth to the notion of a home with “wings,” the compound’s distinctive roof lines are inverted, recalling the wings of a butterfly while also directing rainwater to cascade into two-story waterfalls that converge in the property’s koi pond.
