This dramatic two-story foyer makes a striking first impression with soaring ceiling heights, a striking chandelier, oversized black-framed double entry doors, and an abundance of natural light pouring through the upper transom window. The clean white walls paired with warm white oak flooring create a bright, refined atmosphere, while the minimalist detailing and modern architectural lines give the space a sophisticated contemporary feel throughout.

The interior of the wharf cottage appears boat like and clad in tongue and groove Douglas fir. A small galley kitchen sits at the far end right. Nearby an open serving island, dining area and living area are all open to the soaring ceiling and custom fireplace. The fireplace consists of a 12,000# monolith carved to received a custom gas fireplace element. The chimney is cantilevered from the ceiling. The structural steel columns seen supporting the building from the exterior are thin and light. This lightness is enhanced by the taught stainless steel tie rods spanning the space.
