The Innermost House is a 12 x 12-foot cottage that is beautifully designed and reflects the past, present and future. The tiny cabin building, hidden in the woods, serves as a living link between high culture and nature. Although it was kept secret, the cabin building served as a private meeting spot for thinkers, leaders and creators. It was built with the intention of realizing a wild dream based on the transcendental value of beauty, truth and unity.

This concept shows the simplicity of a small cottage house or wood cabin in woods, and how it can be used to inspire clear thinking. Diane Lorence is Diane Lorence’s inspiration for Innermost House. She searched for the perfect unity of mind and place for over twenty years. Her search took her to more than 30 different places in America, from east and west to Europe and beyond. Her search ended at the exact location it started: in the solitude and silence of the woods at California’s end.
Lorence built a cabin 12 by 12 feet to end her conversation with high culture and wild nature. This cabin building would eventually be known as Innermost House. The wood cabin would provide her with the unity of experience that she had long sought. She lived in the cabin for seven years, without electricity, computer, power, or telephone. The wood cabin was only lit by fire. Innermost House is now a long-term experiment with simple living and high thinking. It demonstrates the ideas of equality and freedom, reason, simplicity and faith, environmental stewardship and reliance. Her life in nature is a gentle reminder that you can always regain the paradise you have lost.
