This custom home designed by Carpenter Architects is perched high above Lake Whatcom and enjoys views of the lake, the Puget Sound, the San Juan and Canadian Gulf Islands. The fusion of style and environmental responsibility live in harmony in this home. The majority of the cedar siding was reclaimed from an old railway trestle near Stevens Pass and was milled locally. The interior hosts concrete floors with radiant hydronic heat, recycled glass countertops and cabinets made with indigenous fir. Electric outdoor shades and auto powered awning windows in the clear story control the solar gain in the summer time.
