The comfortable elegance of this French-Country inspired home belies the challenges faced during its conception. The beautiful, wooded site was steeply sloped requiring study of the location, grading, approach, yard and views from and to the rolling Pennsylvania countryside. The client desired an old world look and feel, requiring a sensitive approach to the extensive program. Large, modern spaces could not add bulk to the interior or exterior. Furthermore, it was critical to balance voluminous spaces designed for entertainment with more intimate settings for daily living while maintaining harmonic flow throughout.
The result home is wide, approached by a winding drive terminating at a prominent facade embracing the motor court. Stone walls feather grade to the front façade, beginning the masonry theme dressing the structure. A second theme of true Pennsylvania timber-framing is also introduced on the exterior and is subsequently revealed in the formal Great and Dining rooms. Timber-framing adds drama, scales down volume, and adds the warmth of natural hand-wrought materials. The Great Room is literal and figurative center of this master down home, separating casual living areas from the elaborate master suite. The lower level accommodates casual entertaining and an office suite with compelling views. The rear yard, cut from the hillside, is a composition of natural and architectural elements with timber framed porches and terraces accessed from nearly every interior space flowing to a hillside of boulders and waterfalls.
The result is a naturally set, livable, truly harmonious, new home radiating old world elegance. This home is powered by a geothermal heating and cooling system and state of the art electronic controls and monitoring systems.

The Willow - Transitional Family Home on Acreage in Brush Prairie, Washington by Cascade West Development Inc.
The family that owns this home is prone to travel. Whether to a National Monument or the forests of Alaska the wayward souls that dwell within these walls know how to appreciate the great outdoors. Throughout the week they might need to rest and recoup between adventures, preferably in a low-maintenance environment. The need for space was imperative; balancing storage, relaxation and entertaining was top of mind when designing. As frequent entertainers, they got the room to regale and the room to relax. Large family rooms flank the front entryway; a large open great room with vaulted ceiling and central fireplace creates an informal and loose setting for family and friends to gather. Either flooded with natural light, from the full-size Milgard windows, or warmly lit by fire and the ornate wrought iron chandelier, a cozy environment is not hard to conjure up. If some privacy is sought, the second family room across the foyer is the perfect place. This smaller family room features a knotty alder french door inlaid with seedy baroque glass. In this intimate setting a small group can get together for any number of conversations or, if necessary, enjoy a quiet setting for a movie or show.

Beyond the water’s edge, Backyard by Design created the yard’s landscaping and hardscaping elements. Backyard by Design and SwimThings frequently work together to transform backyard settings.
Backyard by Design completed the pool decking with Belgard Mega Lafitt pavers in natural Aspen Blend, complementing the project’s Mediterranean-inspired appeal.
A rough cedar pergola graces the side of the pool and offers an intimate setting for reading or relaxing conversation. Backyard by Design emulated the style from a pergola the homeowners spotted in a magazine.
