This classic family home on Olympia’s Boston Harbor is rooted in the architectural traditions of the shingle style. It speaks of longevity, commitment, generosity and family gatherings over time. Built on a dramatic site with views across Puget Sound to the Olympic Mountains, the house sits at the edge of a grove of mature cedars, which ground the structure visually with their great height and presence at the entry side.

Sullivan Conard Architects The proportions will obviously be different. I'd recommend a three-lite wide glazed panel.
