Thoughts & Musings
This new kitchen will be open to the Dining Room.
This shot pans to the left more, so that you can see the relationship of the living room to kitchen.
This is the view if you were a bird hovering over the deck looking into the house. The Dining Room is in a Greenhouse of fetch deck, facing South, so in the winter months it will be a nice place to hang out.
Here is a view looking into the house with the roof and 2nd floor removed, so that you can se inside and the relationships of the rooms.
From the water, it will be still hard to see, because there are huge trees surrounding the house.
From a drone or airplane, it would like like this shot.
From the street, it will look like this. A wall of glass is creating the new entryway with a cascading staircase that drops you down to the main living level of the house.
Here is a shot from the side of the house. I am working with a Brazilian Architect, who is the brother of the owner, so it has been a collaboration of ideas and Pacific Northwest twists.
This is a working model still in progress- the site has a pretty good slope to it, and I like to leave the grade showing as how it intersects the building.
This is showing the Entry feature, that is actually the back of the house. This is the way visitors will first see the house. They wanted a high ceiling entry flanked with stone walls.
One of the most important features that they wanted was a large covered deck with a BBQ, Fireplace and TV to hang out on that faces the Western Water view. A place to enjoy the sunsets.
