The house is situated a few miles outside of McMinnville on 2.5 acre sloping site in a walnut grove. Walnut House impresses with its contemporary design, which promotes open space and the state of lighting art. Some of these materials are: galvanized metal siding, aluminium windows, exposed concrete wall and veneer wood panels for siding. Simple passive and sustainable features of the house include rainwater harvesting, roof-mounted solar hot water heating, in-floor radiant heating, cork floors, natural day-lighting and Icynene sprayed-on insulation.
The overall house design could be called as wonderfully glassy and spacious. It separated for two wings: the north one for the private Master Bedroom suite and home office; the south one for the living, dining and kitchen areas.
