Originally designed in 1968 by architect James Miller—of the acclaimed Zaik-Miller partnership—as a personal residence for his family, this Northwest Modern home stands as a compelling example of site-sensitive architecture. Nestled into a wooded ravine on an unusually shaped lot, the house was featured in Northwest Magazine in 1969 for its inventive response to challenging terrain. Its split-level layout thoughtfully navigates natural elevation shifts, creating a sculptural yet seamless interior flow. With its nuanced interplay of volume and restrained material palette, the home reflects the era’s deep appreciation for natural elements, balanced proportions, and quiet architectural innovation—enduring signatures of Pacific Northwest modernism.

To add to the striking visual drama of the space, we partnered with Patty Studios to bring in a couple of their stunning handwoven rugs for another layer of texture.

Through partnerships with local artists, including Kristen Diederich, Christopher Belluschi and Mimi Cravens we were able to infuse this home with yet more character that spoke to the owners’ high regard for the visual arts.

Thank you Kristen Diederich, Christopher Belluschi, Mimi Cravens, Patty Studios and Done for the Day for
