Northshore

The Northshore Residence is a new house on the shores of Lake Whatcom. We specifically designed this house around its beautiful lake views. Upon first approaching the house, you are greeted with a special moment at the main entry, where floor-to-ceiling glass looks through the living space and out towards a western view of the lake.

The design is inspired by large roof plans and deck spaces that break up the volumes of the house. The exterior incorporates rich textures and low-maintenance materials like stone and metal siding. The same stone used on a large fireplace volume that flows effortlessly from the living room out to the exterior, creating a continuous indoor/outdoor dialogue.

Intentional details were designed throughout the house, including an open tread wood staircase and an upper level guest suite. The primary bedroom suite incorporates the design language of the floor below with more floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that open onto a roof deck facing the lake view.
