The original drawing and model

Gray Owl House is designed by Frank Harmon
for Ruth Bromer and Joseph Huberman.  

It is situated in at the edge of an old clearing with large trees on the border of the 20 sq. km Birkhead National Wilderness Area -- a fantastic orienteering area with 14 sq. km already mapped.

The builder is Szostak Design+Build

These are the original sketches by Frank Harmon.  We wanted to blur the distinction between inside and outside and to have private as well as long views.

This is the view from the path approaching from the parking area

This is the view from the forest ridge looking toward teh patio.  The first door after the window is the main entrance to the house.  Note the skylight along the ridge.  The balcony is from the master bedroom and the roof walk is above it.

This is the view from the deck looking NW into the living room.

This is the what the forest on our property looks like.
