The house is located on the western end of a sloping, fourteen acre site on Guemes Island, WA. Designed for year-round living, the house is composed in three parts.

Large sliding glass doors open at the corners, bringing the outdoors into the living space. The extended roof plane shades the interior in the summer, while allowing the sun in during the fall and winter months.

A ground source heat pump system provides in-floor heating. All potable water for the home is collected from the roofs. The green roof helps to slow runoff and provides additional insulation. All the cabinetry and countertops have been milled from salvaged maple trees felled on the site. The house has 2600 SF of living space with an equal amount of outdoor hardscape. More
