Located in Edmonds, WA, this custom home has sweeping westward views of the Puget Sound.

The design is integrated into the existing slope, carefully placed to accommodate the invisible lines of building setbacks, height restrictions and various easements. The owners requested that all the primary spaces be on one level, affording them continued accessibility for years to come.

As a result, the main floor is perched amongst the tree canopies and sited to capture views towards the water while also providing privacy from adjacent neighbors. On the lower level, a smaller footprint provides secondary functions and a seamless connection to the outdoors.

A series of decks and patios under deep roof overhangs create multiple protected spaces that can extend outdoor living through the shoulder seasons.

As architects, part of our job is to weave the various requirements with the client’s ideas and goals to create a design solution that meets both the big picture dreams as well as the technical minutia.
