Karen wanted a simple everyday life and residence. With her spouse, she set out to design a log home for her family that would be as ecological, modern and simple as possible.
The high-ceiling lower level is surrounded by forest, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing clear views of the nature reserve. The house has geothermal heating and can accommodate solar panels. Inside the home, the lights have timers and automated control, and the taps save water. The building technology is capable of realising the dream of an electric car in the yard, charged by solar panels.
