Recently I had the opportunity to go back and take interior photos of the first house that I ever designed. I’m very proud of the way it turned out. More importantly, the owner loves it and told me he feels like he’s living in a work of art. He did the interior trim work himself and did a beautiful job.
The photo above was taken looking from the kitchen toward the covered deck on the west side of the house. Scissor trusses were used for the vaulted ceiling. Light decks around the edges create more intimate spaces.

Here’s a longer view of the great room. On the right you can see the light deck which runs from one end of the house to the other and conceals uplighting. The rural site makes it possible to have lots of glass without worry about lack of privacy. Notice the corner window in the middle of the photo.
Adjoining the great room is the library, a cozy spot with a stone fireplace and built-in bookshelves and seating. The space is defined by the lower ceiling and a raised floor.
Here’s another view of the library.
The kitchen is compact but beautifully detailed.
