From the architect:  With its single level U-shaped plan, the open plan takes advantage of its wide site by creating large outdoor living areas within a central private courtyard.

Pacific Northwest and western influences in materials include Columbia River stone basalt walls and natural cedar on interior and exterior planes alike. The large roof overhangs and lower roof canopies were designed for better outdoor living in the winters while simultaneously offering shade during the dry summers.
