Frits de Vries Architect Ltd.Set on a moderately sloped lot, this single-family house is organized around a feature interior double-height division, bisecting social from functional spaces, private from public rituals.
The main floor is continuous from the front patio through to the back garden, providing a generous mix of covered and uncovered exterior lounging spaces. The lot has been carefully landscaped to provide privacy within while softening the crisp roof and deck lines. Familiar materials of wood, stucco, stone, and glass create a warm, unforced aesthetic for all to enjoy.

Christensen Design ManagementHistory:
Client was given a property, that was extremely difficult to build on, with a very steep, 25-30' drop. They tried to sell the property for many years, with no luck. They finally decided that they should build something on it, for themselves, to prove it could be done. No access was allowed at the top of the steep incline. Client assumed it would be an expensive foundation built parallel to the hillside, somehow.
Program:
The program involved a level for one floor living, (LR/DR/KIT/MBR/UTILITY) as an age-in-place for this recently retired couple. Any other levels should have additional bedrooms that could also feel like a separate AirBnB space, or allow for a future caretaker. There was also a desire for a garage with a recreational vehicle and regular car. The main floor should take advantage of the primary views to the southwest, even though the lot faces due west. Also a desire for easy access to an upper level trail and low maintenance materials with easy maintenance access to roof. The preferred style was a fresher, contemporary feel.
Solution:
A concept design was presented, initially desired by the client, parallel to the hillside, as they had originally envisioned.
An alternate idea was also presented, that was perpendicular to the steep hillside. This avoided having difficult foundations on the steep hillside, by spanning... over it. It also allowed the top, main floor to be farther out on the west end of the site to avoid neighboring view blockage & to better see the primary southwest view. Savings in foundation costs allowed the installation of a residential elevator to get from the garage to the top, main living level. Stairs were also available for regular exercise. An exterior deck was angled towards the primary SW view to the San Juan Islands. The roof was originally desired to be a hip style on all sides, but a better solution allowed for a simple slope back to the 10' high east side for easier maintenance & access, since the west side was almost 50' high!
The clients undertook this home as a speculative, temporary project, intending for it to add value, to sell. However, the unexpected solution, and experience in living here, has them wanting to stay forever.
RKD Architects, IncMana is a carefully crafted two bed room home designed for primarily six months of use. There are two bedrooms and an office and a Kitchen, Living and Dining area, but the primary focus of Mana is its comfortable clean feel and its relationship with the site. The large overhangs both shelter the occupants from the intense summer sun and slope up to the dramatic cliff walls that embrace the home.
