Gelotte Hommas Drivdahl Architecture
Kingfisher Cliff

Nestled on a ledge overlooking Deception Pass, Kingfisher Cliff reflects the natural beauty of its surroundings at every turn. A contemporary home, the house weaves wood, glass, and stone materials to create a structure that’s truly unified in its environment. An existing structure was repurposed into a private guest suite complete with a separate entrance and private kitchen and bathroom amenities.

Set atop a rock formation, Kingfisher Cliff embodies not just natural beauty but also the very best of responsible design principles as the home structure forms to the rock’s natural inclines. Outdoor living spaces nearly double the home’s useable space without expanding its footprint. Ultimately only half of the allowable lot coverage was used. The rest of the property features trails and gardens punctuated by natural landscaping.
