Sam Marts Architects & Planners – The Art & Integration of Design & Construction

Custom Homes

Renovations

What makes renovations interesting is not only listening to clients’ wishes and desires, but also listening to what the building whispers.

Residential Development

Timber Framing

Urban and Rural Planning

Wineries

Sam Marts Architects & Planners has over the years worked with seven (and counting) different wineries. A timber frame structure makes an excellent choice for a winery facility. Timber frames are efficient structures in that enclose large open spaces. Timber frames are constructed from locally grown materials and naturally fit into an agrarian landscape. We have restored, repaired, relocated, and repurposed existing timber frame barns so that they can become wineries, cideries, and breweries.

As an architect I have always enjoyed buildings that become green in a literal sense by allowing plant materials to cover them.

Design & Architecture

Green Village in China

Beautiful but I have questions and comments.: Do people live In these homes? If yes, then are there issues with insects?? I’d be afraid of being inundated with bugs and possibly snakes. I bet the air is very cleansed by all that foliage!!

It’s so Beautiful , and the Fantasy of it all ! But I come to an age , were the Second thing that Pops into my mind is mold ,mildew, and all kind of bugs 🐝🐞🦗🐜🕷🦂 ❤️

This village looks deserted to me, no laundry hanging out, no people, no animals, no cars. Vegetation taking over.

This was the abandoned village that nature reclaimed. Places are better and healthier without people living in them.

My Neighbor let English Ivy grow for Decades on her house. When she died they removed it and found Damage to the Bricks & Mortar. She also had 3 Hundred Foot Pine Trees growing Right In front of her house that damaged the Roof & our Driveway!

I love green, but honest.im scared to live in place like this...snake??

My parents house was like that innEcuador for some time and yes, there were small snakes later . Mom told that to take it off. I remember but that’s the tropics. China I think has the four seasons?

I live on the Oregon Coast where ivy is invasive and will cover everything in its way. A truly noxious weed that is nearly impossible to eradicate.

Oh my gosh, can you imagine how many bugs 🐛 🐜 and spiders 🕷 🕷 that would be living in there! 😬eek

My concern would be mold since I have a lot of allergies. And, how high is the humidity in the average.

Buenos días. Si, muy hermoso. Ahí se ve que hace mucho tiempo no viven personas, eso es una demostración muy clara de que la naturaleza es exsuberante y cuando estamos los humanos estaría todo muerto y seco. Sabia es la naturaleza y muy decoradora. Saludos para todos.

I find this very appealing and no one live there it is a village with no humans and its wonderful but..bugs-bug me tee hee haa

This is really magnificent! I was told by a Chinese tour guide that China just had water snakes...I don’t know how accurate that is...😊

looks like it's maybe an earlier version of those 'ghost' towns and malls they build that are completely empty! creepy (tho This one is pretty'

Reminds me of the town in Spirited Away at the beginning of the anime where they shows the old acient structure that was left over for decade.

Ivy is supposed to be very good at cleaning the air. Those plants must keep the homes cool in the sun as well.

Hahahah inside is nothing how can life in this types of room so everyone don’t believe made in China 🇨🇳 hahahaha

Le village semble abandonné, les murs ont été recouverts par une plante endémique, l'effet est superbe, mais je n'y vivrais pas

E un paese fantasma non ci abita più nessuno e come fa il tempo assieme alla natura quello che è suo se lo riprende e l edera e il tempo piano piano ha coperto tutto ciò che l uomo ha lasciato e ora è ritornato a lei 👍

I don't think anyone lives there if you look in the windows.....rooftops .....I agree bugs Would be a problem.....no thanks

My construction talented husband would find - in a split second - a plethora of maintenance issues with these houses. 😂

Wow, I would be afraid of snakes and other vermin hiding in all that ivy. Insects of all kinds. Is rather pretty, but I do question what all is hiding in the ivy.

It’s pretty but do people actually live here?? Looks vacant. Eventually those vines will tear up mortar, wood, and metal.

Que bien me conoces. Vámonos a vivir ahí. Nos curamos las dos, dudo que puedas tumbar todas esas herredaderas. Jajaja miedosos todos, más miedo le tengo a la gente que a las culebras.

Pero soy "Doña Límites", y me termina por hartar... además traen bichos y humedad... esa planta terminó siendo "una plaga"... Y no me digan que NO...!!!
