Located on the western side of Puget Sound, the striking landscape of this project site features a long peninsula that juts out in a semi-spiraling shape, giving the home its name: Fishhook Point. The design was shaped by the restrictive waterfront setbacks stemming from this feature as well as capturing the nearly 360-degree water views, especially to the South.

The wood walls and ceiling, as well as the stone entry mass are continuous from the exterior to the interior, drawing the eye past the front door and inside the home. A simple, low profile rain garden and a cedar-sided wall lead to the front door, with a glimpse of the sky through an outdoor skylight cut in the roof above. The entry hall terminates at a wall of windows and sweeping views of the water and islands beyond. This corridor serves as a divider of public and private spaces on the main floor. In the master suite, the clients experience the sunrise light in as they wake and can step out onto their secluded, covered deck for fresh morning air.

Nestled into the west side of the site, communal spaces offer peekaboo glimpses of water between tree trunks. An open kitchen and dining area with a custom steel wine rack built into the wall flow into a bright, double-height great room featuring a stone and steel fireplace. The upper floor features a lofted office space, as well as the guest quarters. The intentional extension of the floor above creates several raised, covered patios, one of which specifically serves as a sunset viewing deck, while another acts as an outdoor dining room. On a site that demands to be experienced from all angles and at every rise and fall of the tides, this home takes every opportunity to showcase the beauty surrounding it.
