A circular hilltop lot platted decades ago by Northwest Architect Paul Kirk with views of the Cascades and most of Lake Washington and clients with a vision were the starting point for this project.  From a humble start, this project progressed to include elaborate custom details. This craftsman inspired house has many surprises: a ladder accesses the tower for surveying the expansive view and stars, a bookcase conceals a secret guest room, a powder room basin made of petrified wood, a waterfall grotto and dedicated quilting and photography studios.  The house is sited and designed so that it hugs the hill and is nestled in a naturalist garden that incorporates 50 tons of stone, waterfalls and ponds.
