A private, peaceful location surrounded by nature sets the tone for this chic concrete home, described by the architects at Schuchart/Dow as “contemporary Northwest natural.” The clients’ love of the outdoors, botany, wildlife and their own horses infuses the countryside home with a rustic charm. Spanning 11,000 sq. ft., this concrete home construction features modern touches like contemporary concrete floors and walls, a stainless steel kitchen and basalt countertops, brought back to Earth with “country” details like post-and-beam construction of reclaimed Douglas Fir. Deepening the connection between nature and architecture, large windows in every room give this natural house design lush, green views. The authenticity of this rustic house style is alluring, surrounded by tranquil forest and a landscaped pond outside. Schuchart/Dow
