Outpost by Olson Kundig Architects is an oasis of grandeur living amidst the barren hills of Idaho. Used as an art studio, the tremendous windows and high ceilings open the mind for creativity and inspiration. The exterior is durable against the elements made of block concrete. It sits on the land in a compact package with a modern cube for the living quarters and a peninsula “paradise garden” safely protected within the structured walls that surround the home.
The wide open concept floor plan is furnished with a sprawling sectional and long dining table. There are many, many shelves both high and low, displaying art, books, and other treasures. One of the most stunning features of the home is the ceiling where gigantic supports of steel hoist perfectly exposed wood beams.

I find a way to fearlessly provoke your senses and take you by the heart to whatever it is I’m writing about. My sweet spot is creative writing, but for the last 20 years I have been providing freelance content for publications on sustainability and green practices, design, architecture, fashion, and non-profit charity. Recently all wrapped up in producing my first book. I have bounced from NYC to Indianapolis, but my true home is a lovely small town in Central Pennsylvania where there’s a legit drive-your-tractor-to-school-day.
