Hansville, WA | small-scale residential | 1670 sf house | 580 sf garage + shop

Twin Spits replaces a long-time summer retreat. High on a bluff with sweeping south-facing views over Hood Canal and designed for year-round living, the home is organized around a waterfront pavilion that combines kitchen, dining, and living spaces with wide multi-panel sliding doors, generous glazing, and multiple outdoor access points. 

Outside, durable metal siding and roofing form a resilient shell that references regional maritime structures. Inside, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and natural finishes add texture and warmth to light-filled interiors. Expansive glazing and clerestory windows capture water views and daylight. Operable openings provide passive ventilation, bringing in breezes and the sounds of wildlife. A broad roof helps manage strong winds and summer sun, extending over a covered patio for outdoor dining.
