Nighthawk Retreat: Eastern Cascades, Washington . . The double layer of roll down shutters + windows allows the owners of this earth-sheltered vacation home to adjust the house to the climate and sun position whether it’s the heat of summer or cold of winter. The shutters provide extra insulation, sun screening, fire protection, and security. Plus a great sound as they go up and down. . . #EarthSheltered #OffTheGrid #ConcreteHome #ConcreteHouse #Icicle #RollDownShutters

Port Hadlock Cabin: Port Hadlock, Washington . . The design intent was to create a thin roof edge and rich texture of the #ExposedFraming pattern against the underside of the #Galvanized #CorrugatedRoofing. It took a little work to #module out the #rafters and #purlins, but we worked it out on paper and the contractor got it to work out in the field. . .

Methow Cabin: Winthrop, Washington . . A small retreat serving as a base for cross-country skiing and mountain biking. To minimize the risk of leaks in snow country, the metal roof has no penetrations - the wood stove is vented out the side and up, and the plumbing and radon vents are "tail pipes" poking out the high end of the side wall. . .

Brooks Dental Studio: Tacoma, Washington . . Each operatory is brightened with a flower placed in a wall mounted custom #BudVase, in keeping with Doctor Jamie’s desire for a spa-like feel in the office. Not what you’d typically expect from your dentist. . . #TestTube + #O-Ring + #BentSteelPlate on #SandBlastedConcrete. . .

Morley Residence: Poulsbo, Washington . . The design is a simple shell - a cedar clad box without openings - that has been “carved-out” to expose the sheltered interior while creating covered outdoor spaces at the entry and waterside porch. A screening element to the west protects the privacy of these spaces and doubles as a barbeque niche. From inside, the overall effect is one of total seclusion. Outside it isn't bad either. . #Porch #Terrace #CedarSiding . Photo by Michael Jensen Photography (at Poulsbo, Washington)
