Tahoma

Inspired by a Mountain

The inspiration for this home’s design comes from the site’s commanding view of Mt. Rainier. A single, gable-roof form is bisected by a gently sloping roofline oriented towards the mountain’s summit, leaving two shed forms, analogous to a glacier cutting its way down the mountain. The descending roofline provides cover while announcing the main entry and leading guests to the view beyond.
