This new residence was located in Dash Point, Washington an withing an established neighborhood.  The new residence was purposefully sited at the top of a gently sloping hill, which allowed the main living level be elevated above the adjacent homes.  This enhanced the sweeping 120 degree view towards the Puget Sound and Maury Island.

The clients of this new residence wanted a NW Contemporary home where guests would be welcomed into a warm, well day-lit and inviting interior.  A heavy timber structure composed of Douglas fir glu-lam columns, beams, and tongue and groove decking for the ceiling were used to achieve warmth.
