&nbsp; Milled from a single block of wood I created these pencil cases to suit my own preferences.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;The compartment is long enough to accomodate almost any implement, and large enough for a good variety. A separate compartment is provided for a kneaded eraser and sharpener. Rounded ends allow it to slide smoothly in and out of your bag.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; I’m currently working on a new batch in black walnut.&nbsp; https://wolfgangkahler.com/Record-Stand Wed, 20 Sep 2023 17:22:18 +0000 Wolfgang Kahler https://wolfgangkahler.com/Record-Stand &nbsp; <img width="3264" height="3264" width_o="3264" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/31f871052ae4b23a3dbd357c9616895cb6ffaab2e83f43eb0ca9312bde513257/IMG_0029-1.jpg" data-mid="191397586" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/31f871052ae4b23a3dbd357c9616895cb6ffaab2e83f43eb0ca9312bde513257/IMG_0029-1.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e0d495967b80b191102ec6d54ab477436af09e87ced9ec6fe0bc4603b54a1ad2/IMG_0015-1.jpg" data-mid="191397557" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e0d495967b80b191102ec6d54ab477436af09e87ced9ec6fe0bc4603b54a1ad2/IMG_0015-1.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1500" width_o="1500" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/71e74da3b2feb780e8c331c4c403ca698104a700dd9b1b3aaaf00d5d7e856b03/IMG_0026.jpg" data-mid="191397575" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/71e74da3b2feb780e8c331c4c403ca698104a700dd9b1b3aaaf00d5d7e856b03/IMG_0026.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1500" width_o="1500" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/241eb74bcb2aa1fadb45891241d7928d1535fb617a5bc59f679a89c24653882e/IMG_0020.jpg" data-mid="191397565" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/241eb74bcb2aa1fadb45891241d7928d1535fb617a5bc59f679a89c24653882e/IMG_0020.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/985598fa9cffc229eabf734466384c0b0175437c7743f64e55855c6d77ee0234/IMG_0013-1.jpg" data-mid="191397550" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/985598fa9cffc229eabf734466384c0b0175437c7743f64e55855c6d77ee0234/IMG_0013-1.jpg" /> Record Stand&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A minimalist record stand in solid maple.

Light-year beyond light-year, deep beyond deep, the mind may rove by means of it, hanging above the bottomless and surveying impartially the state of matter in the white-dwarf suns. <img width="2000" height="2509" width_o="2000" height_o="2509" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9f15a9a346e395667b6b4d0811b722b055f813700d5ed5914eaeaf061558b729/d.jpg" data-mid="188925685" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9f15a9a346e395667b6b4d0811b722b055f813700d5ed5914eaeaf061558b729/d.jpg" /> Yet whenever I see a frog’s eye low in the water warily ogling the shoreward landscape, I always think inconsequentially of those twiddling mechanical eyes that mankind manipulates nightly from a thousand observatories. Someday, with a telescopic lens an acre in extent, we are going to see something not to out liking, some looming shape outside there across the great pond of space. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Whenever I catch a frog’s eye I am aware of this, but I do not find it depressing. I stand quite still and try hard not to move or lift a hand since it would only frighten him. And standing thus it finally comes to me that this is the most enormous extension of vision of which life is capable: the projection of itself into other lives. This is the lonely magnificent power of humanity. It is, far more than any spatial adventure, the supreme epitome of the reaching out. https://wolfgangkahler.com/Gamble-Bay-Residence Fri, 15 Sep 2023 18:13:24 +0000 Wolfgang Kahler https://wolfgangkahler.com/Gamble-Bay-Residence &nbsp; &nbsp;Gamble Bay Residence &nbsp; &nbsp; A 1000sf residence designed as a family retreat and second home to accompany an existing 400sf cabin built by the client’s grandfather. Gamble Bay is a unique and bio-diverse pocket of the Puget sound with a combination of rich wetlands and deep calm water. The client’s affection for the land supported a design that maintains the character of the site while creating a larger but still humble gathering space for their extended family. &nbsp; &nbsp; Generous overhangs are stepped at the perimeter to protect the structure while promoting light infiltration in a dark and wet climate. The sloped site facilitates a combination of wheelchair accessibility required by a family member, and daylight basement access which fulfills the need for secure storage of small boats. &nbsp; &nbsp; In contrast to the more common waterfront typology that thrusts conspicuously out from the land in search of the maximal view, this design takes a more subtle approach. The mono-slope roof follows the contour of the land and produces a taller southern facade which takes-in the forested slope and draws winter sun through the interior space. The water-facing elevation acknowledges the bay with large openings to the living space that are nonetheless quite sheltered in response to northern wind and weather. The minimal tree clearance reflects in part a desire to avoid the centrality of the house in the landscape - maintaining the feeling of the land as seen from the water. It also offers a more dynamic experience of the site wherein the occupant gradually discovers the landscape as they move through the space. <img width="2614" height="1825" width_o="2614" height_o="1825" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a89d1e6519de336751488b0cfa3ed6dae13b324395450ad1c4581d52fb2ca8ed/Gamble-Bay_4.jpg" data-mid="190900429" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a89d1e6519de336751488b0cfa3ed6dae13b324395450ad1c4581d52fb2ca8ed/Gamble-Bay_4.jpg" /> <img width="1966" height="1214" width_o="1966" height_o="1214" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b978073a51a0809219da56ca628aa7ffb9729f8a9b1e69fcb7fadea302580e70/Gamble-Bay_3.jpg" data-mid="190900426" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b978073a51a0809219da56ca628aa7ffb9729f8a9b1e69fcb7fadea302580e70/Gamble-Bay_3.jpg" /> <img width="1966" height="1052" width_o="1966" height_o="1052" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/79e6a7b15178cb75ba84cc58f364c81e45586a99869b2b24efa35e1d2a3bebeb/Gamble-Bay_1.jpg" data-mid="190900411" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/79e6a7b15178cb75ba84cc58f364c81e45586a99869b2b24efa35e1d2a3bebeb/Gamble-Bay_1.jpg" /> <img width="1966" height="1170" width_o="1966" height_o="1170" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/96c006e108aea9f18c6a3d0e059c67927a686a89511611a2ad1d436b41973757/Gamble-Bay_2.jpg" data-mid="190900424" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/96c006e108aea9f18c6a3d0e059c67927a686a89511611a2ad1d436b41973757/Gamble-Bay_2.jpg" /> <img width="2667" height="2000" width_o="2667" height_o="2000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/29747d8d3494186b35c3607ed35c0d5f8fbf67c8c4139f1bd26f38a56a359f96/Gamble-Bay_5_1.jpg" data-mid="190900430" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/29747d8d3494186b35c3607ed35c0d5f8fbf67c8c4139f1bd26f38a56a359f96/Gamble-Bay_5_1.jpg" /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; https://wolfgangkahler.com/Residences-1 Fri, 15 Sep 2023 22:17:47 +0000 Wolfgang Kahler https://wolfgangkahler.com/Residences-1 Residential Plans Construction drawings for a variety of single family houses around the Northwest (click to view full plans) <img width="700" height="453" width_o="700" height_o="453" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6559334eb04bbefbbfdf9ae61546cb32e05b63bbd1ef23570738d6db7ebdc542/2022-07-04_GambleBayRd_001.jpg" data-mid="190917842" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/6559334eb04bbefbbfdf9ae61546cb32e05b63bbd1ef23570738d6db7ebdc542/2022-07-04_GambleBayRd_001.jpg" /> <img width="700" height="453" width_o="700" height_o="453" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/37a39c52e2a647610111ac4b3d0bc645415ef4a328e3845ba1ac99ce1ed5e597/PASSERO_STEVIE_RESIDENCE_001.jpg" data-mid="190917846" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/37a39c52e2a647610111ac4b3d0bc645415ef4a328e3845ba1ac99ce1ed5e597/PASSERO_STEVIE_RESIDENCE_001.jpg" /> <img width="700" height="453" width_o="700" height_o="453" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f32ee90dd625760c37a9bc294847b2cc9da1b7089602cf98eff535a210af0fb7/Untitled1_001.jpg" data-mid="190917847" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/f32ee90dd625760c37a9bc294847b2cc9da1b7089602cf98eff535a210af0fb7/Untitled1_001.jpg" /> <img width="700" height="453" width_o="700" height_o="453" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cca2397daed8300db5b5d785e4d109b0ddcb69926a5f5529dc8a5575ac4ed014/Untitled2_001.jpg" data-mid="190917848" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/cca2397daed8300db5b5d785e4d109b0ddcb69926a5f5529dc8a5575ac4ed014/Untitled2_001.jpg" /> <img width="700" height="465" width_o="700" height_o="465" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2287a6999b8e0ea3dbe9c06e521ff66a17a730f810741f4cfb92faa0c27f5dd6/Capture.jpg" data-mid="190917843" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/2287a6999b8e0ea3dbe9c06e521ff66a17a730f810741f4cfb92faa0c27f5dd6/Capture.jpg" /> <img width="700" height="450" width_o="700" height_o="450" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a27a7f0d87ae621b18938dd994f9cb0f6f7f5c1960a0f0070e3149a5469d2c01/Capture3.jpg" data-mid="190917845" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/a27a7f0d87ae621b18938dd994f9cb0f6f7f5c1960a0f0070e3149a5469d2c01/Capture3.jpg" /> <img width="700" height="463" width_o="700" height_o="463" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a98086073536ef99561dcdaead85e1e0d18a2838682da13ac5725a23c956d166/Capture2.jpg" data-mid="190917844" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/a98086073536ef99561dcdaead85e1e0d18a2838682da13ac5725a23c956d166/Capture2.jpg" /> https://wolfgangkahler.com/Dickinson-Cohousing Fri, 15 Sep 2023 18:13:47 +0000 Wolfgang Kahler https://wolfgangkahler.com/Dickinson-Cohousing Dickinson Co-Housing &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; A co-housing development conceptualized for a group of builders and investors in Olympia, WA. It utilizes existing residential codes and ADU allowances to create a housing cluster from two adjacent lots on a dead end road. The site is organized for maximum flexibility in ownership, but is envisioned primarily as a four unit condo with a dynamic range of unit costs and sizes and shared outdoor gathering spaces to be determined by residents. A problematic gravel fill on the western lot requires extensive excavation which, in the design, is leveraged to create a sunken terraced garden with a temperate micro-climate protected from winter wind. <img width="2576" height="1220" width_o="2576" height_o="1220" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/19f6dfc4f1e57e616b907bddd837691c42497aca799c82f664651149aeee543d/Concept_1.jpg" data-mid="190902380" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/19f6dfc4f1e57e616b907bddd837691c42497aca799c82f664651149aeee543d/Concept_1.jpg" /> <img width="2336" height="1217" width_o="2336" height_o="1217" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/da7b3505fe556cfc97693dcf59c722fca4eb27e1423ccd7d4334aaef32f96a62/Concept_Rendering.jpg" data-mid="190902381" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/da7b3505fe556cfc97693dcf59c722fca4eb27e1423ccd7d4334aaef32f96a62/Concept_Rendering.jpg" />
