Houses We Love: Every day we feature a remarkable space submitted by our community of architects, designers, builders, and homeowners.
Project Details:
Location: Ketchikan, Alaska
Architect: Prentiss + Balance + Wickline Architects
Year Built: 2021
Footprint: 1,640 square feet
Lot Size: 0.61 acres
From the Architect: "Tongass Ledge sits gently perched over the Alaskan shore. Standing at the edge of the vibrant Tongass Narrow, the Ledge is the perfect lookout for a nature lover. Overlooking inlet waters and balanced at the edge of a rock wall, two volumes at a subtle angle capture the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Designed for a busy client who splits time between Seattle and Ketchikan, the complete design required a simple form and program, personalized through highly custom interiors."
Clerestory windows create a sense of openness, and bring in additional light.

The living space, like the primary bedroom, is cantilevered and features large expanses of glass that capture panoramic views of the surrounding wild landscape.

Industrial-leaning architectural materials work in unexpected harmony with softer, more refined design elements. The painted black window frames and concrete floors reflect the ruggedness of Ketchikan.
