Surrounded by territorial views and distant glimpses of the Cascade Mountain foothills, this residence blurs the threshold of interior and exterior.  To draw the natural environment into the home, large windows and an expansive barrel vault ceiling bring the views and the natural light into the structure while still maintaining a warm and intimate atmosphere.  Exterior stone and wood elements transition into the interior to reinforce the concept of the blurred threshold along with various exterior patios and a dining room that can be completely opened to the elements through the use of extensive sliding doors on the surrounding walls. The home is oriented on the site so that it is cradled by the natural landscape and reacts to the topography of the property as it cascades down the hill it sits upon.  The warm tones and industrial.
