LANTERN HOUSE
Lantern House is a modern interpretation of Pacific Northwest architecture, rooted in natural materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a strong connection to its forested setting. Inspired by Northwest Regionalism, the design brings together warm cedar, native stone, exposed steel, and expansive glass to create a home that feels both contemporary and grounded in its surroundings.
Natural light shapes the architecture. Large windows bring soft daylight deep into the home, while deep roof overhangs provide shelter from the Northwest's changing weather. At dusk, the house glows through the trees like a lantern, giving the project its name.
Inside, open living spaces extend toward the landscape, framing views of the Olympic Mountains and surrounding forest. Carefully detailed materials and restrained forms create a quiet sense of warmth, allowing the home to age naturally and remain connected to its setting.
Lantern House reflects a simple approach to modern Northwest living: honest materials, natural light, and spaces that connect to the landscape.
