A new home sits upon a 1.7-acre site with numerous environmental challenges that came with the beautiful landscape that looks out at Lake Sammamish and Mt. Rainier beyond. An eagle’s nest, wetland, pond, stream, and two steep slopes made the site planning for this property particularly interesting and challenging. Goats were brought in to tame the blackberry bushes. The owners were very environmentally sensitive and did much of the hard work to clean up the land and bring it back into a beautiful and thriving habitat. They wanted a compact energy efficient house that took advantage of the views and fit into the land without disrupting the landscape any more than necessary.
