As you enter this unique Galena home the striking focal point is the dramatic, soaring central pyramidal skylight standing at over 25 feet; warming the heart of the home a spacious, light-filled atrium collects and stores heat. This space can be used as an informal dining, entertaining area, or common area. The four-sided 400 square foot skylight that completely covers the space allows winter sun to brighten the interior all day long, taking maximum advantage of direct-gain heat. The Sausalito tile soaks up the suns warmth and releases it at night when temperatures fall. The river-rock stone pillars serve a practical purpose providing further thermal mass for storing heat gained through the atrium skylight. The pillars visually separate the atrium from the living room without blocking the sunlight or impeding air flow. The pillars earth tones form a lively backdrop, adding to the serenity and beauty of Galena Forest through every window. Chill on the deck while listening to the babbles and ripples of Galena creek below as it travels along its bed, bubbling over rocks and branches. This custom-built home presents impressive vaulted tongue and groove ceilings with exposed beams at over 16 tall throughout the home. A centrally located kitchen with 2 ovens, electric stove, island and plenty of storage. The dining room borders the kitchen with a 2-sided river rock fireplace adding warmth and ambience. The river rock fireplace adjoins both dining and living space. Wood French doors
