Key to Modern Design
Industrial Accents:
uilding a house begins with a wish list.
For Beth and Martin Lewis, this prioritized
list included staying within the Helena city
limits, a modern style, and a view. Knowing
their lot choices were extremely limited, they
accepted the challenge of building at the
base of Mt. Helena.

Backer board siding and a rough-cut fir
staircase adorn the front façade. Additional
wood accents, pre-treated and maintenance
free, emphasize the oversized windows.
The garage doors are
translucent allowing
for natural lighting and
no need for windows.
The stone surround
provides a textured
contrast to the ultra-
smooth look of glass.
