Her Own Private Idaho

小時候曾夢想自己有這樣的一個家 - 屋內有很多落地玻璃窗，可以看見山又看見海，更可以目睹四季的變化。當陽光滲進屋內便把一室鍍上金黃色。。。也許世上真是有這樣的屋子，但自一出生便受到都市生活的洗禮，單單是想像在四野無人、方圓十里無超市兼要嚴冬踏雪回家的環境下生活，已叫我吃不消。

凡事總有代價。



Jan McFarland Cox, an artist and designer, spent nearly a decade of her life building a house in the Idaho desert, along with architect Tom Kundig.



“This is definitely where the deer and the antelope roam,” Ms. Cox said, looking out a window offering stunning views of the constantly changing scenery of the Pioneer Mountains.



Ms. Cox's collectibles include vases by Christiane Perrochon, a ceramicist in Tuscany.



Ms. Cox is sure there will be days during her first winter in the house when her long driveway is impassable. She said she is prepared to come and go on snowshoes.
