Architecture and interior design firm GO’C has shared photos of a home they recently completed northwest of Seattle on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington.

Located on a secluded wooded site, near a small beach town, the home has been designed with dark black brick walls with deeply raked carbon black mortar joints creating a highly textured finish.

The ground plane of the house is established with a raised concrete base that provides physical and visual weight to the house and performs multiple tasks as structure, heating source (radiant hydronic piping), and finish surface (polished concrete slab).

Douglas fir trees from the site that made way for the structure were milled and dried in situ during construction and used to create the finished lid of the roof plane, as well as interior elements like shelves and a coffee table.
