Property of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Gunby | Seattle, Washington | Architect John T. Jacobson | Photographer P. A. Dearborn

The A. C. Gunbys felt that modern, and only modern, would do justice to their steep wooded plot and its breath-taking bay view. 

Graceful dropped ceiling soffit in living room is compromise for original curved wall.

Planned for family of four, Seattle, house uses red-painted board-and-batten walls to emphasize vertical lines... important rooms face east, overlook Portage Bay and Cascade Mountains.

Compact planning begins with laundry on lowest level from which straight stairs lead, minus landing, to upper floors. plywood used throughout, left natural except for slight rubbing of white paint... glass door on top level leads onto carport roof which doubles as sun deck and occasional sleeping porch for two hardy youngsters.
