Dramatic great room with massive twin fireplaces on either end, a major highlight of the weekend home sitting on an island in Seattle, suggests the National park lodge tradition of America. Its elaborate ceiling support structure of joists, rafters, and purlins is executed in clear Douglas-fir, forming an intriguing but totally functional composition that recalls traditional Japanese detailing. The dormers over the great room funnels in plenty of daylight regardless of the season. With these architectural gestures at both grand and intimate levels, the room forms a rewarding gathering place for the large groups of family and friends that our client loves to bring to the island.
