Open Living/Dining area

Cobalt glass spears by Seattle artist Dale Chihuly reside in the pond beside the main house. Larsen is both friend and patron to Chihuly, and the two were introduced when the latter was studying interior architecture and weaving. Larsen recalls in his memoir, "When we met, [Chihuly] was heating strips of glass sufficiently to bend them over and under to form an interlaced plane. I suggested he learn glassblowing with Harvey Littleton, the father of modern glass, who had been a prolific potter when I was at Cranbrook." Chihuly then went to Madison, Wisconsin, to study under Littleton, and he then started a school in the Northwest with $2,000 in prize money—now Pilchuck Glass School.

The living area features a pair of LC3 Divano sofas from Cassina and a walnut console made by Chris. In the background, Chris and Sally lounge in Aviara outdoor furniture by Barlas Baylar for Restoration Hardware.

Tiered plantings embellish a courtyard that encloses a sunken portion of the front facade.

A DINING OASIS Indoor-outdoor living is maximized in the dining area. Full stacking doors support a fluid layout, allowing for movement between spaces or separate defined experiences. The core palette of black, white, earthy neutrals, and warm white oak creates a sophisticated setting, enhanced by the focal fireplace and views beyond.

The flat yard is perfect for a pool addition.

The flooring is oversized slabs of slate from Brazil, while the millwork is all teak. The owners were big sailors and the teak is a nod to them as it's used in boat construction and decking. "It worked really well with the neutral palette," Krulle says.
