Rooted in Place

With rock walls, branching wood columns, and a sod roof, this low-slung Oregon home mirrors its setting. Although the roof required sturdier, more costly construction, it helps cool the house in the summer and insulate heat during the winter, and therefore reduces energy consumption. A cistern under the outdoor terrace stores rainwater used to irrigate the sod.
