Spacious and charming, the Schell Wheeler house consists of two buildings designed by Johnston Architects for mountain guides Scott Schell and Margaret Wheeler. I love the combination of wood and metal as well as the colorful exterior and beautiful glass openings, celebrating the sheer beauty of Washington’s Cascade Mountains.
Nestled in the foothills above Snoqualmie, the house will soon receive a LEED Silver certification.
Blow-down trees from storms provided the logs that were milled into siding, fascias and trim; a ground source heat pump, supplemented by solar water preheating supplies energy to the house, as well as other sustainable strategies.
