Sustainable House On The Water’s Edge

Located on the water’s edge in Gig Harbor, Washington, the Cliff House is tucked against the wall of a cliff. Designed by architect Scott Allen, the unique site required innovative design and planning.

The entrance is situated on the roof of the house where a glass-enclosed elevator takes you to the two levels below.

The interior of the house — with Douglas fir ceilings, walls and trims — has the feel of a boat’s cabin. The exterior materials used such as copper, concrete, metal window cladding and cedar, can withstand the environment.
