Here is a one-floor house built on piers from the highest point on its hillside site. Besides the convenience of having all the rooms on one floor, the owners wanted their house high enough so they could see out over the dense growth of native trees to a fine view of Seattle.
A sensation of open space is created by the long gallery hallway in the bedroom wing and by the sweep of unbroken space between the master bed- room and the living room-dining room.
By opening the sliding doors at each end of the study (see floor plan), the owners can lie in bed and watch a fire in the living room fireplace or look out through the dining room window wall almost 50 feet away.
