Project Type: New Construction, built in 2022

Perched atop a steep bluff overlooking Puget Sound, the Normandy Park Residence is organized as an L-shaped composition that embraces an exterior vehicular courtyard. One wing houses a three-car garage with a two-bedroom guest house above, while the other is anchored by a brick-clad gable façade that marks the home's main entry. Connecting the two is a floor-to-ceiling glass arcade overlooking a serene reflecting pond, creating a transparent threshold between architecture and landscape.

The home's exterior is defined by a restrained material palette of vertical and horizontal wood siding, brick, and expansive glazing that fills the interior with natural light while framing views of the surrounding landscape and Puget Sound beyond.

At the heart of the home, an open-concept living space brings together the kitchen, dining, and family rooms. Large sliding glass doors provide a seamless connection to a covered and heated outdoor living area, extending the home's gathering spaces year-round. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with professional-grade appliances, a generous island for cooking and entertaining, and custom cabinetry that balances beauty and functionality.

The main level also includes a private study that opens onto the glass arcade and a spacious scullery pantry that provides convenient access between the garage and kitchen, supporting the practical rhythms of everyday living.

The upper level is anchored by the primary suite and a two-story rooftop deck that captures sweeping views of Puget Sound. Native plantings and thoughtfully selected materials further connect the home to its setting, creating a residence that is both contemporary and timeless.
