the studio
a place to express yourself
A dedicated studio space is a life luxury. Designed and built as an artist/maker's studio, situated on the edge of the woodland slope above Keg Creek, it is a peaceful retreat for personal expression.
Clever use of vertical space allows for plenty of natural light. High R-value insulation makes it very easy and efficient to heat with freestanding wood stove. It now has water supplied to the north side, but as yet no finished plumbing.
This building is also sometimes used as extended accommodation when needed. More frequently utilized as a quiet and cozy office space for visitors (WiFi connectivity in place). It could easily be adapted into a small residential tiny house.

stable / big shed
Currently used for storage & vehicle garage, the large 40'x24' shed was built using south facing passive solar-gain sliding doors.
Useful as a 2-bay stable for horses - both stalls are large (16' x 16) from when horses were kept on the land.
On the west side the extra wide & tall garage door and bay (12'x24') provides shelter for larger vehicles etc.
greenhouse
This 25'x60' agricultural double-skinned hoop-house is such an excellent cultivating space; extending the growing season significantly. There is both power and water supply here.
An added bonus are the two very productive fig trees that provide an astonishing amount of delicious ripe figs every year.
The asparagus bed is planted along the long south facing exterior.
