clerestory

EHH week 12: view from house

The walls are framed and the rough window openings are all in place.  Now we can walk around inside and get a physical sense of the interior space.  And we get our first real look at the actual view out the main windows. 

 

The main great room (living, dining, and kitchen in one room) and the mother in law great room both have large windows with clerestories (a second row of upper windows) plus corner windows.  All these windows admit lots of daylight even on cloudy days.  And they afford a panoramic view over the lake to the mountains beyond, capturing one of the main assets of the site.

 

I have to say, the view is pretty spectacular!
