The Davis Residence by Miller Hull
Miller Hull Partnership designed the Davis Residence in Bellingham, Washington.
.
Description from Miller Hull:
This 1400 sq. ft main house and guest house/garage is located on a heavily wooded cliff site with views of the San Juan Islands of Washington State. The plan orients to major views south down the coast line and west out to the islands while being careful to stay outside of the drip line of the dominant Doug fir trees. Large overhangs protect glazing and provide shelter.
The concept marries a long gently sloping roof form containing the kitchen, entry and studio with a vertical tower containing the living room and master bedroom above.
The roof forms express their timber construction with exposed joist, 1×4 skip sheathing and plywood diaphragms. The high performance wood fir windows provide thermal breaks while being strong enough for the mullions to be of minimal dimension. Wood T&G paneling is stained in bold transparent colors.

Nice views. I like the fact the house 1400 square foot and not some large out of place building.

Swoon! Those views are unbelievable — and from every room.

Not only is the project “refined and unpretentious”, as F-J points out, but so is the architect’s explanation. I visited their web site out of curiosity (and admiration) , and found all their work to be of the same caliber.
