Ep. 12: Inside a Builder's Handcrafted Family Home Designed to be Simple and Natural

Step inside The Carpenter’s Delight, a meticulously crafted family home in Kimberley, BC, designed and built by Eisenhauer Woodworks. This home pays homage to craftsmanship, sustainability, and the human story behind every element. The Eisenhauers embraced efficient, thoughtful design principles, from selecting standard lumber and natural materials like stone and wood to using precise dimensions for minimal waste. The result is a “long thin home” inspired by timeless design patterns, with distinct zones for gathering, conversation, and quiet reflection. Inside, the open kitchen with high ceilings serves as the vibrant social hub, while the cozier living and dining areas create intimate spaces for connection. Throughout, the home emphasizes functionality, beauty, and an intentional human touch. Beyond its practical purpose, the home is a canvas for creativity. Music, woodworking, and family life intertwine seamlessly, with spaces that inspire songwriting and craftsmanship. A backyard workshop provides a sanctuary for artistic pursuits, embodying the philosophy that beauty, as Dostoevsky noted, can save the world. Rooted in simplicity and purpose, this “humble house” stands as a testament to resilience, hard work, and gratitude. More than a dream home, it’s a reflection of a family’s journey and a legacy of love and beauty.
