Can a single glass wall opening tie three levels of living to 180-degree waterfront views?
This Tacoma, Washington contemporary home on Heron Ridge captures panoramic views of Puget Sound, the city skyline, and Mount Rainier across three levels. folding glass patio doors connect the main living space directly to an entertainment-ready patio and hot tub.
Open, the living room becomes an open-air extension of the deck with unobstructed views in every direction.
Closed, floor-to-ceiling glass and thermally broken frames handle Pacific Northwest rain and wind year-round while 12-foot vaulted ceilings and Brazilian hardwood floors keep the interior warm.
Four expansive decks. Chef's kitchen with waterfall island. 21-foot cascading water feature in the slate entry. And one glass wall that ties it all to the water.
