2-story wine barrel beats family's charming redwood log house

When Marianne and Richard Atkinson bought a 1250-square-foot cabin in the Santa Cruz redwoods, they didn’t expect to stay long with 3 young girls sleeping Harry-Potter-style in the stairwell/loft, but they stayed 12 years thanks to a two-story wine barrel cottage that became the girls’ backyard bedroom.
When the Atkinson’s first viewed the cabin - built in 1942 from whole redwood logs in the forested mountains above the San Francisco Bay Area - it looked like a great deal for the area, but they were worried about space. When the realtor explained that the wine barrel ADU wasn’t included in the official square footage, the couple quickly made an offer.
The barrel was shipped over from Italy in the 1960s to be used for water storage, but the previous owners soon realized it made more sense to create living space out of the salvaged vat. The original wooden staves and metal hoops served as the only structural support, and the new owners simply added a second floor to create an upstairs bedroom and removed the flat lid to add an overhanging roof and 360-degree windows.
When the Atkinsons moved in, they used only secondhand and salvaged materials to create a kitchenette (from a hotel surplus store), a living room, and a two-story bookshelf (this got shortened when their girls claimed the upstairs as a bedroom and needed extra floor space).
The area around the home, and in much of the Santa Cruz Mountains, was clear-cut to rebuild San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake and fire. In 1942, with the old growth non-existent, the original owner built his own sawmill to process smaller redwoods on the property, creating a traditional log cabin home with Scandinavian-Saddle-style notching and black chinking (as opposed to the traditional white grout).
He also built a furnace to do his own ironworks and all the metalwork in the home - the lights, fixtures, handles - was also done onsite measure-made for the home.

I am literally in floods of tears watching this. My family are Irish and we moved to America in June 1970. We moved to Los Gatos, where this wonderful property is located. I spent my youth going 'over the hill' to Santa Cruz lingering on the beach and making the most incredible memories. The smell of Northern California is like nothing else, a mix of Redwoods, Eucalyptus and Sea Salt. I live back in Ireland now for the last 21 years and I miss Los Gatos every single day of my life. Those 32 years shaped me and made me who I am today and this video took me back home XOX

Their loss in not understanding me, right?! After almost 17 yrs I can’t wait to return, in any capacity and The Good Lord willing! 💪🏻🙏🏻👍😁😎 Killer vlog capturing the essence of living in the beautiful SantaCruz Mountains. 👍

My teenage son was reading Canary Row last month. Monterey and Pacific Grove was my home and happy place in the 1970's and 1980's Trying to explain the redwood trees, the sound of sea lions, the salt air and fog as ir rolled in. It made me feel nostalgia and frustrated that he couldn't smell it and feel the damp and hear the sounds.

Yes but my Highway 9 residence in 1960 had the unobstructed underside become the den of an adult female California Mountain Lion. For about 2 years each winter. We'd awake and find it on the rear deck. Peering at the San Lorenzo River. My parents has installed floor to ceiling glass for that view. So, I'd sit and watch the lion as it sat. It might look at me or not.

I used to live in Santa Cruz in the 1980's and I've always hoped that one day I could get back to live among the Redwoods once again. But as I approach 70, I find myself here in Los Angeles (not that there's anything wrong with that). This bought back memories of Roaring Camp, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Steamer Lane, Scotts Valley, Boulder Creek and watching Apple when it was still a "start-up".

I live in a part of Sweden where these kinds of log cabins are everywhere. Two of my neighbors have had huge trees fall on their houses, but all that broke were the roof shingles.

What a great cabin, and wonderful that they didn't remove all the original quirkiness. It is easy to see the sadness of old growth harvesting, but there were not options to build from in the old days; we have options our ancestors did not have. And, it is a 'local' option, no shipping or wasting energy moving stuff around. Glad they are there to enjoy their redwood home and wine barrel, happy their imagination made it into a home for their family.

In 1990 I spent the summer in the US working in a summer camp as an Arts Counsellor. That was in the middle of a massive forest in Pennsylvania. It was a fantastic experience waking up at sunrise with the forest. It always worried me that if it caught fire 'everything' would be gone. Then exactly that happened in Paradise C.A. and the whole place was devasted.

Another great video. So much better than anything on tv. The technique mentioned in the middle that burns the wood is called shou sugi ban. There are some companies that do it commercially for things like siding in particular because it makes the wood fire and rot resistant. It traditionally (in Japan) was done with cedar, but can be accomplished with other wood as well. It’s is even DIYable with a torch.

In 1962 I discovered my Santa Cruz County public school had a large wood water tank. Filled but not in use. More or less like how this 'barrel' was built. Since the school was using piped water I suggested it would be ideal for swimming after class in warm weather. That's what the school boys did naked. Until the day came when we found it full of naughty school girls. We had to jump down and run to escape the shrieking. That same school now as a pool for student use. I suspect the idea came from one or more adults who had once wanted a large wood water tank swim after class.

Personally I consider a 1250square-foot home (110m2) to be a pretty standard family home. 😅 Heck even a bit larger than the house I grew up in here in Sweden. Sure, we were only two children, but our house had 4 bedrooms, pretty spacious kitchen and living room, a laundry room, a small loo and decently sized bathroom with a bathtub even. It's kind of crazy that Americans feel that a space like that is considered to be cabin-like and very small for a family.

​@@imaginarymask Definitely, I'm not judgemental towards Americans. And I definitely get how extremely diverse the country is... However, amazingly you always stumble across comments on the internet like "I could NEVER live like that" calling European apartments "coffins" etc. xD And I do think the major difference is that we live in very different societies where zoning laws and city planning make a lot of Americans extremely car dependent. Hence requiring larger living spaces in suburbia as you are somewhat stranded in your home. Meanwhile Europeans we generally just walk or bicycle to 10 minutes to restaurants, cafés, grocery stores etc. (every service you can think of). The whole American Dream lends itself to car dependency and exploiting the purchasing powers of its citizens... With that being said, this has become the norm in Sweden as well. Our ideals have shifted a lot from the ones we had in the 70's. And nowadays people are getting huge mansion like houses, installing pools and stuff (although our climate isn't even well adapted for that stuff)
