Case Study: Contemporary Forest Home Perched Above Puget Sound
Building a contemporary home in the Puget Sound wilderness provided many challenges for architect Dan Shipley and builder Peter Bates.
The two had to cut through bramble, shrubbery, and overgrowth, manage the swampy landscape, and avoid the 60-foot cliff to build homeowner Rick Whitworth’s home on Marrowstone Island.
Whitworth became enamored with the area during his Naval career. The home combines elements of Southern homebuilding and the Puget Sound wilderness; a “dog trot” connects the main living space with the guest space. The interior of the home is encased in warm wood. Straight-grain Douglas Fir flooring runs to the Marvin Ultimate wood windows and up the walls.
“The Marvin Ultimate line was great because they are so customizable, and you can talk to the factory, and you can talk to the reps, and they'll work with you to say, ‘What are you trying to accomplish? How can we do this? Is that window too big? Will this work this way?’ That was a real appeal of the Ultimate line is how customizable it is,” said Bates.
