House of Planes

Organized as a series of flat, stepping planes down its gently sloping site, this modern residence has extended rooflines.  Located in Yarrow Point, Washington, the design was inspired by mid-century modern architects, it blurs boundaries between indoors and outdoors.  Concrete, brick and cedar provide durable and low maintenance surfaces.  A central steel stair is lit from above by a large skylight and suspended art installation.
