Wood Block Residence by Chadbourne and Doss Architects
The Wood Block Residence by Chadbourne + Doss Architects is a nature-focused gem on Mercer Island, Washington. The home rests on a hill flanked by lush, green vegetation that provides a natural backdrop to this home. Its interior walls corner up to floor-to-ceiling glass, making the thick fern landscape of the exterior seem like the real walls of this home.
Inside, this concrete, metal and wood structure is a warm, earthy setting for its residents. The dark walls, exposed beams, tan wood ceiling and dark floors are a neutral balance to this home’s modern furnishings. Its inner white walls give a brighter, lively appearance in a friendly contrast to the dark supporting structures. Outside, a screened patio gives a change of scenery from the clean interior, with a wooden deck and a rock garden to the side. In our opinion, this home is an absolute class act, a great exercise in contemporary design while focusing on client comfort, first and foremost. Doesn’t it just look entirely relaxing?

Hi Jason!
I’d love to– but sadly, that isn’t an option with my CMS as present. It’s either a short paragraph text summary (the current setting) or the entire full-length post and all of its pictures. In this case, that’s 12 pictures. In other cases, like this, its far too many to count:

I hope to have my developer custom code a setting that allows me to include a single picture with the summary paragraph in my current RSS feed. I should be able to get started on that in Q1 2010. Until then, my hands are tied– and my RSS Feed setting is stuck on the lesser of two evils…
Thanks for your patience!

Perfection… the concrete, steel, wood, bamboo, infinity pool, everything I love in a house!
This is gorgeous. Love the clean lines and openness.
Personally I’d prefer two feeds I don’t care how many pictures they are, while I love your articles it’s frustrating having to click through all the time, I’d love an option to use your second option!
