The acreage of rolling prairie is surrounded on all sides by breathtaking mountains, including the Absaroka, and Beartooth ranges. The house is divided into two halves, one being the anchored ‘tower’ element, housing the bedrooms and private spaces, while the cantilevered glass box, containing the Kitchen and Great Rm., appears to hover over the landscape. - [Boston Street Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boston-street-residence-pj-vj~709850) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Sher Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sher-residence-pj-vj~5869) - Location: Redmond, WA - Photos: 9 - Description: The site for this house is an amazing setting, perched in the trees, on an ultra-steep, waterfront lot on Lake Sammamish in Redmond, WA.

Built on a fairly steep slope, the house pushes the private areas to the back - into the hillside, opening up a double-height living space toward the view with an all glass face. Looking into the living room and down to the kitchen is a loft that is flanked by the 3-story glass slot. Perched 4 stories above… - [Magnolia Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/magnolia-residence-pj-vj~5874) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 2 - Description: Set in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle, this house rests on a hillside overlooking the entire city and Puget Sound. We added a second story over the garage, consisting of two bedrooms, bathroom and the main focal element, a cantilevered stair tower to the roof. The entire roof is a combination of deck surface and a ‘living’ green roof system. For this application we used a pre-grown modular system by LiveRoof out of British Columbia www.liveroof.com. These modules came with completely grown… - [Gyorki Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gyorki-residence-pj-vj~5876) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 [See all 6 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/spore-design-pfvwus-pf~788620240) ## Ideabooks - [Lighting](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/118216246/list/lighting) — 11 ideas - [Bath](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/83359092/list/bath) — 50 ideas - [Stair](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/116717855/list/stair) — 1 idea - [Details](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/116717839/list/details) — 1 idea - [Stewart](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88864798/list/stewart) — 32 ideas - [Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88865732/list/kitchen) — 1 idea - [McKelvie](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88865086/list/mckelvie) — 5 ideas - [bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/9014646/list/bedroom) — 7 ideas - [Doors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/108958/list/doors) — 2 ideas - [Windows](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/8188385/list/windows) — 1 idea - [WINE](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/7775515/list/wine) — 7 ideas - [Interior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6344534/list/interior) — 2 ideas - [closets](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/108368/list/closets) — 1 idea [See all 13 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/akcrosby) ## Community Q&A **Q: Are the windows aluminum?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi, these are Milgard "Ultra" Fiberglass windows with a matte-black factory finish.
