The location of the Bridge House is simply adorable, nestled in a heavily wooded lot over a seasonal stream, on Bainbridge Island, Washington. This picture looks as if it had been taken out of a fairytale as natural light shimmers and glitters on the water and leafy vegetation.
The design of the house is inspired by the historical mill town character. Inside, the house is simply decorated, creating warm inviting, cottage-like living spaces.
To minimize the impact on the land and its surroundings, the house was positioned to span 42 feet over the stream bed, and instead of using various polluting materials the architects utilized traditional techniques such as non-toxic paints and diagonal shiplap for sheathing.
