An airy Seattle home celebrates earth-friendly design
Thomas J. Story
Recycled materials add character to this 2,300-square-foot home in Seattle, Wash. Designer-builder Joe Schneider organized the main floor around a two-story, barrel-vaulted room containing the living-dining area and kitchen. Identical upper-level bedroom suites overlook that space and a striking double stairway. Salvaged Douglas fir beams support the loft rooms and frame the stairs. Recycled floorboards panel the kitchen walls. The luxurious-looking floor is walnut-faced plywood.

Year-round Garden Room
This garden room is a Northwest take on the lanai. It's open on two sided and provides flexible options for outdoor living. The architect conceived it as a summer deck that would "float" in a sea of salal, but it was transformed into an all-season outdoor room when he and the owners decided to add a roof, a fireplace, and walls that slide closed in stormy weather. - Integrated Cabinets
