Designed and built for clients retiring from careers in the wood products industry, the structure and finishes of this house serve to showcase the technological and creative possibilities of the use of wood on a dramatic and challenging cliff-side site. The crescent form was chosen to simultaneously maximize views and privacy for the main living spaces and the courtyard deck, drawing on the inherent strength of its curved back shear wall to permit a completely open floor plan and uninterrupted glass curtain wall.
