Vashon Island House

Designed for the lush and heavily forested landscape of northwest Washington state, this modern house harmoniously blends with its natural surroundings. Its exterior is defined by sleek, all-metal roofing and wall cladding, creating a contemporary contrast against the verdant backdrop. Large glass panels at the gable ends of the house frame captivating views of the surrounding forest and bring in ample natural light.

The interior exudes warmth and coziness, with wood accents throughout. A focal point of the house is the large stone-clad hearth at its center, offering both visual intrigue and functional comfort. This long, linear residence gracefully follows the slope of the site, integrating into the terrain while celebrating the unique beauty of its Pacific Northwest setting.
