The Day Residence reads from the street as two separate gabled volumes connected by a lower single-story link — a massing strategy that reduces the building's perceived scale in its forested Girdwood setting.
The interior is organized around an exposed timber structural system of Alaskan spruce posts and beams that defines the spaces without enclosing them.
A covered deck off the great room is oriented precisely south — providing an outdoor living space usable from May through September with protection from Girdwood's frequent afternoon rain showers.
