Shipp Log Residence

Ridgefield, Washington

This project included structural analysis and design of a new two-story 2,600 square foot log residence. The structure was constructed of hand-crafted 14-inch diameter Swedish –coped Douglas fir logs. Designs included a full basement for additional future living space. A unique feature incorporated concrete patios at grade which were used in place of wrap around decks. These concrete patios at grade were four steps below the main floor level of the residence.
