photo and landscape: Dave Demers - CYAN Horticulture architecture: Darrell Epp In close collaboration with Darrell Epp, Architect, CYAN Horticulture was invited to maximize use of the very limited space surrounding this newly renovated single-family residence. Perched atop a 75-feet forested ravine and overlooking a protected salmon stream, this low-lying house seems to be floating in the wilderness. On the more exposed side, sunny and connecting to the street, the distinctive silhouette of gingkos and squared-off beeches, mounding lavenders and graphic maiden grasses, play against expanses of raw concrete and accents of reclaimed, century-old barn wood. On the sheltered side, shady and sloping down to the stream, a variety of dark green foliages merge into the surroundings.

This detail of the hand-painted mural shows the deft application of paint in the background, a "flogged" finish, with branches and leaves painted on top. The effect gracefully offers a sense of being surrounded by trees while dining in a room with no windows -- elegant, organic and unique!
