Nestled in the tranquil scenery of the Pacific Northwest, Discovery Bay House exemplifies a harmonious blend of intellectual depth, artistic innovation, and natural harmony. Designed for Michael Ross by Dekleva Gregorič Architects, this custom house incorporates a three-dimensional structural grid of Douglas fir posts and beams and birch plywood panels. With its low-impact design philosophy, the house achieves a negative carbon footprint while inviting occupants to engage directly with the natural warmth of the wood.

Built in 1979, this condo is one of four in a development designed by prominent Pacific Northwest architect Gordon Walker. The project sought to build upon Walker’s legacy, merging the essence of Pacific Northwest design with the owner’s unique experiences and tastes. Balancing respect for Walker’s architectural legacy with the needs of modern living, the remodel emphasizes open but defined spaces, abundant natural light, and elements of Japanese and Korean design.
