A view from the double-height Living Room, looking back towards the Entry & Kitchen Areas. Our project combines a contemporary aesthetic with vernacular origins, all while making the spaces inviting and the furnishings & materials approachable

 A tranquil reading corner in the double-height Living Room

A shiplap design - with rustic origins but contemporary application - characterizes the Kitchen Cabinetry. Backpainted glass uppers with a fluted detail reflect the light streaking in, while masking the vent hood and maintaining a symmetrical design

The continuous glass wall on the West side of the house bumps out to allow for a generous dining setting amongst the trees. The wood house is framed on either side by stacked granite walls, and the south side features a mirrored indoor/outdoor fireplace & sitting hearth

On the Main Level, an open wood & metal stairway ensure that all the spaces are connected, and views remain uncompromised. The wood floor “waterfall” turns and dives down the vertical stair wall to the spaces below

A wooded site helps filter the strong southern light but allows for beautiful sunsets over the ridge to the west. The plain-sawn but clean-lined millwork is the perfect marriage of rustication & refinement. A thickened countertop serves as a datum line all along the back of the house, which is visibly continuous from Bedroom to Bathroom here.

The forest is artfully framed through oversized picture windows in all the private spaces on the lower level, specifically the Master Bathroom seen here. A thickened countertop and vanity are clad in marble, with gunmetal hardware & fixture accents, and recessed back-mirrored medicine cabinets allow for views to remain unencumbered while closed

A view from just up the entry drive showing the Entry, as well as a simple material palette on the exterior. Aluminum clad windows in a gunmetal finish match the standing seam metal roof, and the two stacked-granite chimneys cradle the plain-sawn oak siding

 Narrow windows add to the privacy factor on this elevation, and a integrated gutter keeps extraneous detail to a minimum

 The Entry Door is “hidden” as it blends with the plain-sawn oak siding

The rear elevation opens up to bring in the maximum views of the surrounding woodland and western sunset, and to add to the feeling of one continuous space between interior & exterior
