The Schell-Wheeler house (designed for Scott Schell and Margaret Wheeler) is the perfect fit for outdoor-loving style-conscious individuals. Johnson Architects designed this home that is green in so many ways and Tall Tree Construction was responsible for building it.
Fallen trees were used as raw materials for the home. Power and water are supplied in sustainable ways. The design allows for maximum light and comfort. All in all, the Schell-Wheeler house is the perfect home for woodsy types.
Implications - Scott Schell and Margaret Wheeler are both mountain guides, so their backyard forest feels perfectly like home. Their home is also quite close to where they work, located in the foothills above Snoqualmie.
