Baker-Laporte Residence

Ashland, Oregon | Light Straw Clay

This 1700 square foot home in Ashland, Oregon home features the local woods of the Pacific Northwest. The fir timber frame was salvaged from the Grizzly Peak fire. Ceilings and shojii are crafted from the local Port Orford Cedar. The central Tulikivi, masonry oven was built by Ashland's own Alaska Masonry Heaters. This home was designed in accordance with the principles of Building Biology, using natural plasters throughout, a masonry oven, radiant floor heat, earthen floors, unsealed wood, and cut-off switches in the bedrooms.
