From the Architect: "Overlooking the Puget Sound near Kingston, Washington, this remodel reorients the house towards the horizon, allowing the panorama to wash into the home. It invites the sun, the storms, and the fog to the edge of the living room and offers a sense of total immersion within the landscape.

"Opposite the setting, three strategic ‘nooks’ specifically designed for cooking, reading, and working form private-feeling spaces. Each is treated as an aperture towards the landscape and reaches towards it, all the while remaining carefully sheltered and protective."
