PNW Fairway Prairie

The story

Every lot tells you what it wants to be — this one didn’t make it easy. Roughly 11 feet of elevation change across a tight building envelope, and a client who wanted true single-story living. The easy answer is to go two-story and let the second floor eat the slope. We didn’t take it. Instead of carving the home into the hillside or stacking floors, J2HD engineered a single-level home that rides over the grade on a crawlspace running nearly 10–11 feet tall at its deepest. The main living level stays flat, open, and all on one floor — exactly what the owners asked for — while the foundation quietly does the heavy lifting of absorbing the elevation underneath. It’s the kind of problem that’s invisible when it’s done right. Walk through the front door and you’d never know the ground drops away 11 feet beneath you. That’s the point. A true custom build — sited, engineered, and facilitated start to finish by J2HD.

Project highlights

•    Large entertaining kitchen and great room — An open, oversized kitchen and great room flow together as the heart of the home, built for hosting.     •    Massive entertaining deck overlooking the golf course — A generous covered deck designed for gatherings, with the private course as the backdrop.     •    Challenging site, topography, and footprint setbacks — A demanding lot with significant grade change and tight setbacks was engineered to fit a sprawling single-level home onto a constrained envelope.     •    Dual master suites — Two full primary suites give the home flexible, high-end living for owners and guests.     •    Single-story living — True one-level living throughout, with the foundation absorbing the site’s elevation to keep the entire main floor flat and open.
