Ryan Mankoski of Ninebark Design Build and Dyna Contracting collaborated to create a floating residence featuring cohesive design with an open layout. The result has two glass sides wide open to spectacular views of bay waters, the University of Washington and the mountains beyond.
This small house, on a typical 50’x150′ lot in East Dallas was conceived of as way to facilitate a connection to the site. The client was an avid gardener and challenged us with problem of how to live on the entire site. This desire, coupled with a modest budget, necessitated a small footprint. At 1600 sf the house lives much larger than that due to it’s connection to the outdoors and the thoughtful use of natural light.
The Peaks View residence designed by Carney Logan Burke Architects is sited near Wilson, Wyoming, in a grassy meadow, adjacent to the Teton mountain range.
