Project Details

The site for this new home is the client’s boyhood home, situated on the water in Gig Harbor. Through a mitigation process, the clients were able to cut into a 25-foot high cliff and build a new house into the cliff and directly on the water’s edge. The new work consists of a 2,000 square-foot residence and an 800 square-foot boathouse, with an outdoor living space in between. The compound is directly connected to a private dock, to access the owner’s collection of boats. The structure was built with materials that age gracefully and that require little maintenance, such as a sod roof, copper trim, cedar siding, and concrete.
