Perched atop a secluded hill, Redmond Retreat feels like a world unto itself. While only minutes away from downtown Redmond and all the amenities the city has to offer, the custom home maximizes its location and landscaping to create a scenic shelter from the world around it.
As Redmond architect Scott Hommas approached this project, he sought to capture the beauty of the landscape from every room of the home. Each space frames the beauty of the natural world outside its windows, and each side of the home takes advantage of sunlight at various points in the day.
From first approach, landscaping frames the home, sets the scene, and guides visitors to the front porch.
The the custom home’s core materials reflect the surroundings. Stone anchors the home with a sense of permanence and timelessness. The natural imperfection of the rough-hewn stone walls and columns brings texture and intrigue to the home’s design.
Expansive windows allow light to pour through the house and connect each space to the outdoors.
Rich wood trim, beams, and flooring bring a warm contrast to the cool stone and glass textures and bring elements of the surrounding trees inside.
Redmond Retreat’s master suite echoes the front walkway with a secluded garden path. Small patios offer quiet outdoor spaces for reading, eating breakfast, and basking in the sun.
From front door to back garden, Redmond Retreat embraces its surroundings. It draws inspiration from the Pacific Northwest’s innate beauty and leans into the comforts of home.
