Blueridge Sanctuary

Seattle, Washington

Situated in the Blue Ridge neighborhood of Seattle, this northwest style home enjoys sweeping 180-degree views of Puget Sound. Entering the garden through an Asian-influenced gate and bamboo grove, lush plantings define the entry garden and adjacent sitting garden off the guest bedroom. A large stone slab crosses a water feature leading to the dramatic entry. Basalt columns add drama while re-enforcing the vertical character of the house. Quiet and contemplative, this garden features several intimate rooms for outdoor living and entertaining.
