Rankin | Gig Harbor, Wa
This Gig Harbor, Wash., home is truly special and meets the owners’ design goal … the best view imaginable of Mount Rainier and Puget Sound from the breakfast table.
Stepping into the foyer is like boarding a classic wood ship, with wood windows and clear vertical grain Douglas fir trim glistening. The eyebrow roof adds to the mysterious look of this two-story home. The interior and exterior are lit by 60 canned lights … the recessed lights in the cedar soffits on the underside of the roofline creates a soft glow of dramatic outdoor lighting.
A cozy sitting room off the master bedroom is another favorite place in this home thanks to a design change during framing. Three skylights became six skylights to form a window wall. Imagine relaxing in the evening watching the stars, while a fire dances in the petite gas stove tucked into the room’s corner.

In fact, some of the existing brick was salvaged from the demolition of existing house siding and patio space where the new addition sits.
Paquette Ellis | Port Orchard, Wa
Harstine Island is an oasis, a peaceful hideaway for the Paquette Ellis post-and-beam style home which sits above Pickering Passage, but yet has beach access. Hot-cold hose bibs near the garage allow for a quick rinse of saltwater off water toys and the paws of family pets.
