At the center is a spacious play-lawn for the homeowner's two children. Corinne Torkelson

Dennis Carkonen Dennis Carkonen was a custom homebuilder for over 25 years. When he retired in 2011 to build his own waterfront home on Washington’s Hood Canal, he designed a modern bungalow with two 40-foot balconies and 16-foot windows that allow for panoramic views of the canal. Carkonen said he put as much thought into the design and aesthetics of his balconies as he did into the inside living spaces of his home because it was important to have a seamless incorporation of inside and outside living spaces. Mr. Carkonen said he was initially interested in Fortis Aluminum Decking because of its ability to withstand exposure to salt water conditions. "Because the house is so close to the water, I needed a material for my decks that could withstand exposure to salt water. I chose Fortis primarily because of its salt water rating." Mr. Carkonen also added, “I was very impressed by the Wahoo Decks sales team. Since I am so far away, it was important to me to find a company I could trust. They were able to assure me of the quality of the product, make helpful suggestions, and answer all of my questions.” Fortis is a long-lasting, low-maintenance, waterproof decking, and non-slip surface that can withstand extremely harsh conditions while providing safety and durability. The 8” aluminum board naturally stays cooler to the touch compared to other traditional decking planks. Fortis is environmentally friendly and made of approximately 50% recycled aluminum.

We designed a “tree house” suspended above the ground on glued-laminated timber columns supporting two stories, forty feet above the forest floor. Suquamish means “place of clear water”. The care of the land that drove this residence included simple strategies for capturing rain and percolating storm water, minimal excavation and removal of soils, low-impact concrete foundations, and a light structure that captures views of the forest, water, and a distant Seattle skyline to the east.

We love useful yet beautiful spaces and this nook off the kitchen we can create to cater to your needs whether it is a sophisticated home office or a organized mud room.
