Located on a 10-acre forested property in Kingston, Kitsap sees a compact-footprint scheme stand confidently among young trees. The home is clad with blackened cedar siding and vertical board-formed concrete, echoing the shadows and textures of the surrounding forest.

Within the house the honey-colored oak casework of the kitchen and adjacent rooms draws a sharp contrast with the black exterior. The dining room, clad in warm gray-hued cedar boards looks out to a deck and soaking tub. Across the room, the board-formed concrete fireplace offers a stalwart anchor for the main level living areas.
