Modern Pacific Northwest Home Blurs the Line Between Indoor and Outdoor Spaces Winslow / United States / 2009
An honest expression of materials and structure defines this house both inside and out. Concrete-block bearing walls, exposed beams, roof decking, and a stained concrete floor are all revealed in the home’s open interior. Generous window openings, along with surfaces that extend outdoors, blend the interior with the exterior, allowing the occupants to feel that they are always at home amidst the ancient cedars that surround the home.

Features:
Hydronic radiant floor heating
Reconstituted concrete countertops
Zero-VOC paint
High-durability, low maintenance materials
Site-milled cedar siding
Awards:
2009 AIA Home of the Month Award
