A new shingle style home is perched to capture the harbor views despite challenging grading and ecological constraints. Extensive site developments are organized on high ground allowing the landscape to cascade and then fall naturally towards the tidal wetlands of the meandering coastline.

Formal symmetry in the plan introduces a dominant façade to the neighborhood, signaling entrance and front yard while creating a private and a resort-like promenade of lawn, gardens, terraces, pool, spa, cabana, and sport court. Clipped gable ends outstretch at elegant angles, each seemingly identical before assuming a unique variety of bays, porches, balconies and dormers. A convenient horseshoe driveway and drop off area nestles into the edge of the property.

Alaskan yellow cedar shingles, left natural at the roof and stained a cool gray on the walls, traverse complex but tailored volumes. Intriguing window shapes and patterns, white decorative railings, columns, and trim deliver fluent styling. A shingle flair crowns the rubble stone veneer that clads the first floor and foundation before branching into lower retaining walls and planting beds.

The front porch opens into a grand paneled stair hall with rhythmic details and rich accents. The den gives an impression of comfort and splendor with stained cherry beams, shiplap wainscoting, and custom mantel paired with the deep blue v-groove ceiling. Classic detailing continues in formal rooms of the home as well as the master suite. Large windows and French doors take in a savory amount of daylight and alluring water views.
