Buddha House, Washington, USA
"All building was natural building a hundred years ago. So it's
not that far back. In order to go forward we have to go
backward... We want to return to a cooperation with nature",
Sunray Kelley

A natural home becomes more beautiful as it
blends into its landscape. This is Buddha House, built in
Washington, USA now 20 years old and even more beautiful than
it was when it was first built. Corwin, the owner, was inspired
by a dream and went looking for a builder to make it come
true. After his visit to
SunRay’s
homestead he knew he’d found the right man for the job.

Apart from some of the interior walls all the
framing lumber was scavenged from the woods. The house
features sculpted walls of clay plasters, stone and cedar shakes
(shingles),
roundwood frame construction, a living roof, and Sun Ray's
signature curved ridge beams and railings made from whole
trees; including the roots which you can see on the second
storey balcony. |
