Architect: Prentiss + Balance + Wickline Architects

Year Built: 2021

Footprint: 1,640 square feet

From the Architect: “Tongass Ledge sits gently perched over the Alaskan shore. Standing at the edge of the vibrant Tongass Narrow, the Ledge is the perfect lookout for a nature lover. Overlooking inlet waters and balanced at the edge of a rock wall, two volumes at a subtle angle capture the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Designed for a busy client who splits time between Seattle and Ketchikan, the complete design required a simple form and program, personalized through highly custom interiors.”
