This residence was designed as a compact primary home for a single occupant, organized to feel open while maintaining an efficient footprint. The plan emphasizes connection to the outdoors through a series of covered porches and primary living spaces oriented toward Puget Sound. Sited on a crest overlooking the water with distant views to Seattle, the house responds to its setting by framing long views and maximizing natural light. The architecture draws from Pacific Northwest vernacular traditions, expressed through simple forms and durable materials. The second floor is dedicated to a full primary suite, creating separation from the main living areas while taking advantage of elevated views.
