Tucked into the Chuckanut hillside, the Soundview Home preserves the natural beauty of its location through modern design, innovative technology, and the latest green building techniques. Design considerations included a commitment to natural building materials to complement the natural surroundings while implementing green building techniques, resulting in a high-performance home nearing net-zero standards. Trees felled onsite were milled and the lumber was used for cladding, soffits, exposed shelving, and the dining room table. A custom board-formed concrete wood-burning fireplace anchors the open-concept main floor. Important to the homeowners was a commitment to ensure every drop of water landing on the property was accounted for and incorporated into the landscape design, including a bio-retention pond to capture rainwater and runoff.
Seeing this home come together was inspiring, knowing that the well-being of the family and the environment were centered from start to finish.
