SKlallam House Knowledge Carving

The exposed framing required all fasteners to be invisible on the interior. Natural light spills through full-span glass at the ceiling level. Massive rolling doors — the focal point of the longhouse — were hand carved by tribal members from old growth cedar, which required a special permit to harvest.
