A bathroom between them has a shower that either bedroom can use, and one bedroom has a dedicated full bathroom with a tub. As open and airy as the rear elevation is, the main entry side is hunkered down and protected, sporting a living roof like a scruffy head of hair. Its wildness contrasts smartly with the restrained geometry of the COR-TEN-and-cedar façade. Those re-milled logs add considerable warmth to the steel, and a horizontal motion to bal- ance the vertical corrugation. "The owner really likes COR-TEN," says Mary. "This is the north entry, so we kept fenestration to a minimum and focused outward." This is a weekend house for now, just 1.5 hours away from the owners' fulltime residence. But it's close enough to "get you out of the summertime fog and into a pleasant summer atmosphere," says Mary. "It's an easy place to go up to for lunch on the deck." And a glass or two of fine Alexander Valley wine, to be sure. Maybe everyone should just stay the night. 62 RESIDENTIALDESIGNMAGA ZINE.COM VOL. 2, 2017
