Lake Whatcom House

The Team at Designed Community · March 11, 2022 ·

The stunning views of the lake, city, and Puget Sound set the stage for a spectacular home that blurs the line between the indoors and outdoors. Our clients came to us with three overarching goals for their home: execute a clean, modern aesthetic; use our experience to optimize the home’s high-performance chops; and maintain discipline for the overall construction budget. In our humble opinion, these three goals – beauty, high performance, and budget restraint – are a great starting point for most home renovation projects.

In the cold, wet winter months of the Pacific Northwest,when we spend many hours indoors, we all appreciate a home that has great indoor air quality, consistent, comfortable temperatures, and does it all without high utility bills or a big carbon footprint.

During the summer months, when we’re out manically recreating, we appreciate cool, airy indoor spaces and the absence of home maintenance. Not only does this home on Lake Whatcom have it all year-round, but it’s also downright beautiful.
