An ocean-view timber residence in the Pacific Northwest forest, a serene yet dynamic retreat favoring order and equilibrium through orthogonal shapes allows for a tactile, sensory experience where light, material, and spatial precision converge. The Douglas fir post-and-beam structural grid is rising from an elevated concrete base which is subtly adapting to the site's natural topography. Architectural design allows for two distinct journeys: a horizontal living space for the owner and a vertical sequence for guests, fostering both connection and privacy.
