The design and construction process for this home involved an extraordinary number of collaborators, many of whom are neighbors and friends of the owners. As the architects we provided the basic cloth which was then embroidered, with considerable craft, during construction.

Our work on this new house prompted many of our thoughts now outlined as Northwest Romantic Modernism.

The design incorporates:

• an inglenook with a Rumford fireplace in the living room
• balconies for each bedroom
• a sleeping porch with a fireplace
• a meditation room separated from but within the main house
• a kung fu room in the basement
• large kitchen with breakfast nook

• Durable, beautiful materials in extremely well-crafted assemblies
• reclaimed fir interior trim
• rift-sawn cherry for flooring and black walnut for doors from well-managed sources
• advanced framing (studs 24" on center, plan in modules of two feet) reduced wood use and saves energy
• rain-screen wall
• insulation in excess of code requirements
• steel standing seam roofing with a food-grade finish intended for a future rainwater collection system
• geothermal heat pump provides hydronic in-floor radiant heating and domestic hot water
• solar boost for domestic hot water
