In partnership with the Northwest Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, we selected this exquisite home perched above beautiful Chuckanut Bay. This project began as a remodel, but the needs of the family were greater than the existing house could provide, and a rebuild ended up being a more affordable option. A Feng Shui consultant reviewed the new design to ensure proper interior circulation, maximize air flow, increase light and to showcase the stunning view. Outdoor terraces built into the hillside create additional living space that complements the openness of the interior living space.
- Christensen designed the home to reflect its woodland surroundings with natural, low-maintenance elements like stone, metal, glass and wood. The home is also designed with non-toxic and sustainable materials like non-formadelhyde insulation and high-performance glass in the windows on the west side. The landscaping of native plantings complements the setting and the earth tones of the house.
- The open living space not only allows for a range of family activities and interaction, it also provides a perfect space for entertaining guests. The kitchen cabinetry provides a seamless look amd conceals the appliances, making an open kitchen and living room an attractive, unified space.
- Each detail of the home is carefully considered, from the open, bright bathroom to the intimate seating space in the living area. The raw, natural textures and patterns throughout the house create a theme of a spa-like retreat, perfect for cozy nights by the fire.
