Conceived as a modern-day pavilion, this project is designed to host friends and family while framing expansive views of Liberty Bay and the Olympic Mountains. The architecture is quiet, intentional—anchored in place, yet open to the horizon.
The structure is organized to heighten the experience of the site. Tall storage volumes are placed at the gable ends, while low-profile casework runs through the center, preserving uninterrupted sightlines across the bay. The result is a space that feels both expansive and intimate—open to the landscape, yet grounded in function.
To create a fully open interior, new mass timber beams were introduced to support the existing roof. This intervention allowed for the removal of all interior partitions, transforming the space into a singular room with panoramic views. The architecture becomes a frame for the natural world beyond.
