“We wanted to create a house where, as soon as you come through the front door, the view catches you… “ – principal designer
More highlights from the article…
“This was a challenging site to work with on the design side, because it started as a really a big hole surrounded by trees,” says principal designer Duane Ensing, with Villamar Design. “Because it’s on the side of a mountain, we needed to work backwards and make sure it was a well planned and coordinated build from the rear of the site to the front.”
To make sure his vision was a success, Ensing used an open-concept plan with spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, and enough height on every level that even the “basement” suite offers a spectacular outlook…
“We added a lot of animation to this layout because the house is sitting in rock,” says Ensing. “So, there’s a kink in the building, where a portion of the building shifts by 15 degrees, which gave us a wider panorama and helped us work with the geography and the view corridors.”
Three types of siding help blend the house into its location: standing seam metal, Pacific Ashlar ledge stone from K2 Stone and rock posts. Ensing wanted the look to maintain modernity, but appear like it has always belonged.
Though the view was paramount, the homeowners also wanted a home that offered a big, beautiful kitchen, expansive bedrooms, bathrooms and closets, with a signature style. Ensing’s team pulled it off, with an elegant floating staircase that becomes a focal point inside the home.
