This second-story addition to an already 'picture perfect' Naples home presented many challenges. The main tension between adding the many 'must haves' the client wanted on their second floor, but at the same time not overwhelming the first floor. Working with David Benner of Safety Harbor Builders was key in the design and construction process – keeping the critical aesthetic elements in check. The owners were very 'detail oriented' and actively involved throughout the process. The result was adding 924 sq ft to the 1,600 sq ft home, with the addition of a large Bonus/Game Room, Guest Suite, 1-1/2 Baths and Laundry. But most importantly — the second floor is in complete harmony with the first, it looks as it was always meant to be that way. ©Energy Smart Home Plans, Safety Harbor Builders, Glenn Hettinger Photography

Four years ago, we began the design process of the main house to align with the owner's retirement and move back to the Seattle area from Chicago in 2015. Although the Boathouse and Carriage house are more Pacific Northwest shingle in character, this time around the owners wanted a modern interpretation for the main house. Now in 2016 - 10 years later - they are settled in and their little "compound" has become the family gathering place for their three grown sons, their wives, and the owner's grandchildren. The main house is a contemporary interpretation of Northwest Regionalism in which dramatic waterfront conditions are complemented with aesthetic consideration of massing, materials and the embracing of natural light. The interior spaces are highlighted in marble, steel, walnut, sapele and limestone finishes.

The Bachman-Wilson house was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1954 in Somerset County, NJ. A marvel of architecture and design, the house was was acquired by Crystal Bridges Museum late in 2013, and is in the process of being dismantled and relocated to the museum grounds in Bentonville, AR. Gorkin Glass was hired to help in the deconstruction and relocation of this historic home. The process was a tedious task that required a company with the depth of knowledge and craftsmanship to dismantle the glass portions of the home. Gorkin Glass was chosen out of hundreds of glass companies in the state of New Jersey based upon their expertise and history of quality for nearly one hundred years.

The bathroom sinks are separated from the toilet and shower by a sliding door so as to allow a family of 4 to most efficiently use the space of a single bathroom. A water-resistant redwood shelf ties the two rooms together and allows for storage of various products around the bathroom. Photo by Scott Norsworthy
