Perched on a rock outcropping above the Tate Creek valley near North Bend, Washington, a modern home overlooks the craggy peaks of the Snoqualmie Valley, including Mount Si. Surrounded by cliffs and a mature northwest forest, the bluestone and metal-clad home has dramatically different outdoor spaces. A refined garden, combining winter-hardy and native plants with stone hardscape, ties the home to its surroundings. A large bluestone-paved courtyard, lined with native and ornamental plants, complements the home’s stone walls. A central table in the courtyard allows relaxed outdoor dining and entertaining. Built-in stone benches offer a quiet place for reflection. A second patio charms with views of the Cascades.
