This shoreline home by Coates Design Seattle Architects is a 2800 square foot, 2-bedroom Pacific Northwest-style house anchored into a steep-sloped site. Photography by Lara Swimmer.

There is an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area that opens directly to the outdoors with a corner bi-fold door system. A stone mass wall divides the public and private spaces of the house while enclosing the stairs, support areas, and powder room. There are many nature-inspired elements in this home such as pendant light fixtures in the kitchen that are reminiscent of shells and wood-grained tile in the master bath.
