Perched gracefully on the picturesque riverbanks of the Spokane River, this custom residence epitomizes sophisticated elegance through its minimalist and contemporary architectural style. Surrounded by a small residential area and lush trees, the home is designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings while offering breathtaking views of the serene river.
The client envisioned a modern home characterized by vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light. This vision is brought to life with an open great room featuring an asymmetrical vaulted ceiling, clear story windows above patio sliders, and a large island facing the living and dining spaces. The integration of sleek design elements and functional spaces within the home exemplifies the harmonious coexistence between modern living and natural splendor.
A large master suite, separated from the other bedrooms, offers a private retreat with expansive river views. The open great room, complete with a fireplace and wet bar, provides a perfect space for entertaining and family gatherings. Economical construction design ensures cost-effective framing and layout, incorporating practical spaces like a laundry room and pantry.
The exterior features a spacious rear patio that wraps around the back and side of the house, opening up to a rear yard facing the river. Large multi-slider windows capitalize on the stunning river views, immersing each room in the tranquil beauty of the natural surroundings.
During the planning phase, adherence to city and county guidelines for riverfront properties was crucial. It was determined that the existing foundation and footprint had to be used to maintain the house's setbacks and avoid relocation further from the river, which would also require elevation to meet current flood guidelines.
Currently under construction, this elegant riverside home is expected to be completed by Fall 2024. Upon completion, it will stand as a testament to modern design and thoughtful integration with its serene riverfront environment, providing a perfect blend of luxury and natural beauty for its occupants.
