Reclaimed pine purlins cast shadows onto the interior. “Lighting is a way to experiment with space and design,” Grizzle says. White Sunbrella fabric panels stretching from the floor to the ceiling ridge cover LED strip lighting and a Bose sound system.

“Two by three purlins sit on top of (and run perpendicular to) the rafters to achieve an eave on each gable end—and they also provide ventilation space,” Wilson says. “This is common in simple barn construction, but also typical of Japanese wood temples.”

A gable roof provides shade for the patio. Heavy timber purlins were used instead of a ridge beam. The purlins sit on steel king posts to emphasize their gesture towards the view beyond. Knife plates connect the heavy timber posts to the beams above and patio below.

The installation with the most, er, valences was by Marijke Jorritsma of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, designers Daniel Perlin and John Vieweg, and technologist KamranV. Here Perlin, a prolific experience designer explains what’s going on in their room wrapped in space shuttle-ready gold foil.

Covered outdoor living off of the kitchen, seen through sliding glass doors. Heavy timber beams span from interior to exterior throughout the project. Purlins were used instead of a ridge beam. Steel king posts were used instead of wood, which helps to exaggerate the purlins' flight towards the exterior.

A Question of Truss The beautiful latticework of metal and wood is over 150 years old and proved costly to strengthen after the damage done by a long-forgotten bash from some farm machinery. Add in the cost of the walls that had to be rebuilt, having the purlins repaired, and tripling the thickness of the wooden trusses, and by the time the scaffolding was down, the pair had laid out $190,000.

A view back toward the entrance. The purlin ceiling beneath the porch’s gabled Galvalum roof is made up of two-by-four cedar strips. A frieze of screened openings runs the length of the building, allowing a cross-breeze and extra light in, while ceiling fans keep the air circulating in summer. “Animals, from deer to raccoons to all kinds of birds, come right up to the porch,” says Panton.
