"My philosophy is to keep it simple," Hollis says. "I prefer to work with natural materials such as wood, steel, concrete, rope, and burlap, and to see how they interact with each other."

The house is divided into three sections connected by a series of outdoor galleries. “When I walk from one room to another, I have to go outdoors and feel the weather and nature—rain, cold, and sun,” says Sævik.
Instead of emphasizing the expansive panorama of oak, pine, and aspen trees, the house frames select views—a move inspired by Japanese design.
