Design One of the greatest challenges of the project was making sure the home would evolve to meet Pickhardt’s needs. A stone wall opens to an interior courtyard that provides a transition to the front door. Flexibility was key to the home’s construction. Before the drawings were put to paper, Gladu drove a stake into the ground and determined where rooms would be located based on the site orientation. Even then, there were no guarantees. “Jeff called when they were pouring the footings and said it didn’t quite line up on Mt. Bachelor, so we dragged those forms for the bedroom wing around so you could get that view dead on,” recalls Gladu. Beyond the flexibility of design, there was the flexibility of use. One of the greatest challenges of the project was making sure the home would evolve to meet Pickhardt’s needs. “In the middle of all this, he got married and started a family. It was interesting to know where he was going even though he, himself, didn’t know,” says Gladu, “I kept asking him, 'Where is the Big Wheel going to be parked?'” In the end, the success of the project is its function for the Pickhardt family. The attention on materials, efficiency, siting and flexibility is subservient to that crucial goal. “It’s really simple living,” says Pickhardt, “and easy to live with and live in.” Book List Gladu's design must reads Books by Christian Gladu Cradle to Cradle Remaking the Way We Remake Things by William McDonough and Michael Braungart (North Point Press, 2002) Earth the Sequel The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming by Miriam Horn and Fred Krupp (W.W.

The master bath is behind the bedroom and uses the same materials as the rest of the house to provide continuity in design.
