Woodland Vista

Woodland Vista is an architectural exercise in simplicity. At 1,877 square feet, this award-winning Pacific Northwest vacation home highlights the best of luxury mountain and mining design on a human scale. The rustic contemporary great room creates a sense of fluidity between living, dining, and kitchen spaces while using distinct wall textures to set each room apart. An open gas fireplace with stone surround lies at the center of the main living area and anchors the home in its natural environment. Floor-to-ceiling windows surround the house, from common spaces to private rooms, inspiring the occupants with views into the forest and the abundant wildlife. Inside and out, texture abounds. Corten steel roofing, rugged timber siding, and stone accents draw inspiration from the region’s historic mining roots. Every material exists to age with beauty and imbue a sense of ever-evolving discovery. From summer sun to winter snow, the home’s natural browns and grays will deepen, as the metal patinas and the wood grains weather. At every turn, Woodland Vista merges color and texture, form and function, new and old. This is the art of architecture.
