In the double-height living space, Marvin windows stretch nearly floor to ceiling, capturing light even on rainy days and offering panoramic views across the forest. The Douglas fir frame remains exposed throughout, adding warmth, continuity, and rhythm.

The sculptural, floating timber stair connects the home’s two volumes. Framed by exposed steel and lit from above, it creates a moment of weightlessness at the heart of the house.

In Jenn’s office, tucked beside the stair hall, the walls stop short of the ceiling, allowing the timber roof to remain uninterrupted above. “We talked a lot about how she wanted the space to feel,” says architect Gabe Hodge. “She placed a lot of value on how beautiful this roof was going to be.” The resulting design preserves acoustic and visual connection to the rest of the home, with small interior apertures that keep the space visually tethered to the landscape and the wider home.

“One of the most important aspects of this house is the timber roof,” says architect Gabe Hodge. “There are no interior partitions that engage with that roof—it’s free from the fireplace all the way to the other end of the house.” The effect is a continuous, unbroken canopy that amplifies the feeling of openness. The kitchen, pantry, and powder room are conceived as a block of smaller spaces within the open floor plan.

A hole left by the previous stove flue has been transformed into a work of art: a custom piece by Doug Spencer made with smoke and glass. It’s surrounded by a charred wood frame that echoes the home’s exterior.

The open-plan public zone, which includes the kitchen, dining area, and living room, looks out onto the back patio, where the dining table is often wheeled in the summer for al fresco meals. Ken and Joan regularly have 10-20 guests over, so she requested enough space in the dining area to put another table if needed.

Cedar ceilings throughout are a nod to the cedars in the old-growth forest surrounding the house. A window over the sink gives the homeowners a peek-a-boo view to the front of their house, so they can catch glimpses of foliage, even while washing the dishes.

Most of the furnishings are secondhand or otherwise creatively sourced. The desk in Léontine’s bedroom was picked up at a technical school in Caen, where it was a cabinetmaking student’s final project. The used dining table was bought online, and half of the chairs came from a Parisian bar that was being renovated, the other half from a charity flea market. The 1930s armchair in the living area, colorfully reupholstered, belonged to Isabelle’s grandparents.

The windows were replaced with new, larger units on the lakeside wall, as well as sliding glass doors, and a slat detail added to the space between the headers and the ceiling. The back wall now has rift-sawn red oak cabinetry and paneling.
