Adams stone that seamlessly flows through an expansive wall of glass with territorial views.The kitchen and informal dining space have orig built-ins&fixtures while a vintage mural by James Seeman Studios of New York graces the dining nook wall.The study shares the stone wall with an integrated fireplace and concrete hearth bench, a built-in desk and an outdoor seating area.The primary bedroom suite overlooks a water feature and Japanese maple providing a serene setting.Further honoring the NW style’s founders, Gatewood expertly incorporated deep overhanging gables and a passive ventilation system providing fresh air throughout to allow for larger panes of fixed glass and frameless clerestory windows; a detail reminiscent of the esteemed designs of contemporaries John Yeon and Pietro Belluschi.
