MERIDIAN, ID--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 6, 2008 -- In a global movement among architects to integrate eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable materials and features, one gallery that has become a source of inspiration for log and timber frame home enthusiasts world-wide continues to win accolades.

With 2,675 square feet of livable space, "The Cascade" is stately but not overwhelming. Rather, this ergonomic, single level design offers the synergy of functionality, warmth and architectural balance. The open floor plan design brings the outdoors in with 1,342 square feet of decks and porches. The unique timber frame design punctuated with a striking glass wall integrates the concept of majestic mountain living with the aesthetics of natural elegance in form and function.

As designed, the estimated turnkey cost of the Cascade is $830,000. This cost estimate contemplates all materials and labor included in the design and construction of the home, from foundation excavation to completion. With Mountain Architects, you can customize the Cascade (and every design at their Floor Plan Gallery) to fit your build site, architectural taste and budget. In addition, you can work with Mountain Architects to redesign the Cascade as a Mountain Accent(TM) home combining custom log components with conventional stick framing. The Cascade, redesigned as a Mountain Accent home, turnkeys at approximately $675,000. View the Cascade floor plan and design options.
