Tidepool House, set twenty feet above Puget Sound in Port Blakely Harbor, occupies the historic site of a former cannery once central to the world’s largest lumber mill. This waterfront property commands sweeping views of the Sound and the Seattle skyline. The clean, contemporary architecture is carefully nestled into the rising landforms above a restored beach, creating a quiet dialogue between structure and shoreline.
Land Morphology crafted a meadow landscape to surround the home and provide a soft transition into the native forest beyond. The gravel entry drive winds through sculpted landforms planted with the same meadow grasses and perennials, creating a unified arrival sequence. At the entry, signature Japanese maples and Katsura trees offer refined contrast against the home’s concrete walls. Within the protected inner courtyard, a large reflecting pool—framed by massive, locally quarried granite boulders—captures and plays with the shifting coastal light.
A major shoreline restoration removed more than 275 linear feet of deteriorating historic concrete seawall. In its place, 100 feet of new granite boulder bulkhead and 175 feet of reconstructed beach now support fish and wildlife habitat while providing direct access to the water. A walled vegetable garden completes the landscape, featuring generous planting beds filled with herbs, espaliered apples, and seasonal produce.
The landscape at Tidepool House not only grounds the architecture—but also restores a native coastal ecosystem disrupted over a century ago, transforming the site into a dynamic, ecologically rich setting for its owners.
