WHITE SALMON WESTVIEW HOUSE

Construction is underway at the White Salmon Westview House.  It is a new 2300sf single family house in White Salmon, WA (directly across the Columbia River from Hood River, OR).  It is a single story modern ranch which will serve as a vacation and future retirement home.  The lot is situated just outside of the town of White Salmon with a view of the Columbia River Gorge to the West.  The house is approached from a driveway on the east side leading to the main entry, 2-car garage, or guest suite on the south side.  It is organized to separate the main living quarters from a separate full guest suite with a multi-season covered patio.  The main living quarters contains a great room with living, dining, and kitchen focused on views to the west.  The master suite opens to a private patio on the north side with hot tub.  An office and powder room can be used in the future as a guest bedroom.  The covered patio creates an outside space with protection from the snow in winter and intense sun of the summer in White Salmon.  The connected but separate guest suite contains a living space with private views to the south and west.  Its bedroom, full bathroom, and kitchenette allow for guests to be fully independent during their stay.  The monolithic gable roof allows for a large solar array to generate power for the high efficiency HVAC and water heating systems.
