This house and bunkhouse/garage are located on a narrow spit of land on Pickering Passage at the south end of Puget Sound, with views of the passage, Hartstine Island and Squaxin Island to the east.  Each building is composed of two elements: a lower, more enclosed volume that defines the yard between the two buildings and a larger, more expansive volume with an exposed timber frame that faces outward.  The bunkhouse/garage contains a shop and garage below and a flexible living/sleeping space above that faces the central yard. The main house is located closest to the water facing east, where all of the major living spaces are afforded a panoramic view of the water, islands and sky.
