A winner of the myMarvin Architect’s Challenge, the Lamson-West Residence by architect John Senhauser is located on a wooded site traversed by a creek in suburban Cincinnati. Senhauser conceived of the project as “21st century log cabin,” featuring post-and-beam construction, an open plan, lofty ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling Marvin windows that flood the interior with light. The exterior walls are constructed of solid cypress logs obtained from a local mill, and the wooden Marvin windows are clad in aluminum on the exterior. The structure features a grass roof and flooring milled from the walnut trees cleared from the property during construction.
For anyone embarking on a remodeling or construction project, Marvin offers the myMarvin Remodeling Planner, a free, easy-to-use tool that allows you to create room layouts for your entire house using your own dimensions.
