This contemporary
family home fits the surrounding neighborhood and is carefully sited to save existing
trees, including a stately Douglas Fir.
The
simple hipped roofs are set off by patterns created with the siding and windows.
Corner fenestration brings in light and opens up spaces, particularly in the double
height stairwell. The public spaces downstairs are clearly defined, yet connect
to each other and the outside. Three sets of doors open the living and eating
areas to the deck, bringing the outside in. The guest room on the main level,
near the front door, doubles as a home office. The upper level comprises three
comfortable bedrooms, two baths, and a laundry.
