Alicia’s business Roggenwolf takes its name from the rye wolf, a mythic creature in German folklore.

Entry with oversized shiplap and white oak flooring

At one end of the house is an unconditioned space that functions like a screened-in porch. The roof trusses are made from wood from the old farmhouse, and the interiors are clad with more boards from the farmhouse, repurposed as shiplap siding. The wood stove is from Pacific Energy.

White-painted pine shiplap interior siding creates a classic look for the interior, where a kitchen ladder, built by Jon Nash, accesses the loft bedroom. The counters are lacquered plywood.

A magnetic strip that holds knives and other small cooking accessories is attached to the shiplap wall in the kitchen, helping to preserve space.

Dark cabinets juxtapose with white shiplap in this simple, functional kitchen. Solar power supplies the electric range top.

The recycled blackbutt shiplap will weather over time, revealing a grayish hue as it ages.

In a space measuring just 650 square feet, multifunctionality is key.

The ENSAMBLE Project, as the system is known, includes smaller panels for subdividing desks. Perforations allow office accessories to be hung within easy reach, like a pegboard.

Everything from lighting to curtains to video and audio can be controlled from a smartphone, enhancing the loft’s sense of effortless elegance.

Designed by Jagoda, the door swings open to fit in front of a bookshelf.

The office houses the letter “U" as well as cameras.

A familiar scene in the Benoit home: Peter paints at the Steelcase desk—"I do all my work here," he says—while Ando sits nearby, waiting for attention.

The steel-and-wood stairs lead to the master bedroom and study.

The hearth is reinforced inside, and is faced with tiles that look like brick. To the left of the hearth is a wooded storage space.

A freestanding Nectre wood-burning stove provides extra warmth in winter, while operable louvers let in cooling breezes in summer.

Tagliabue made sense of the soaring volume in the library by installing double-height custom bookcases that can be accessed via a catwalk.

The reading nook was a special request of Ali’s. “She wanted a semihidden corner that was still connected to the living room,” says Syla. “It’s a special spot.”
