MORSE CREEK HOUSE

The dramatic presence of the Olympic Mountains and surrounding forests is the source of two languages—one of stone and one of wood—which articulate the house’s form‚ materials and detail. The nature of stone inspires two gray–green stucco masses that emerge from the site’s ancient bed of glacial moraine. These thick–walled monoliths mediate a group of large boulders near the site’s entry and the mountains beyond.
