Bailer Hill
As they follow the slope, each volume shifts slightly to capture different frames of the surrounding water and mountains. Large sliding glass doors provide access to both these expansive views and to green roof patios.
Viewed from the hill above, the structure rises to peer out over the water while firmly anchored back to the ground.
Oversized sliding glass doors at the end of each volume form window walls directed at specific views, while clusters of smaller horizontal lites let in natural light and glimpses of the surrounding landscape.
A smaller box just off the main living space is sized just right for a reading room. The clusters of small windows seamlessly morph into horizontal bookshelves.
A small stepping transition from the entryway marks the boundary of the kitchen, which flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas for an airy, comfortable space.
From the grass roof patios, the house disappears almost completely, leaving only the landscape, water, and occasional passing orca.
