Building the Perfect Lakeside Escape: Port Angeles Discovery Ridge

Blog

Our Port Angeles, Washington clients came to us to replace their existing old 3 season cabin and our prefabricated Discovery Ridge 1193 house package fits the bill perfectly.  The wooded site on a small lake couldn’t have been a better fit for this house package.

Getting to this site was a bit of a challenge as the road is narrow and windy and our normal 53-foot flat deck trucks would not have been able to make it.  This was no problem for us as Tamlin’s years of experience delivering house packages to remote locations meant we were able to work with our clients to provide the best solution for them.  In this case we used a B-train trailer configuration where we had trailers (1- 28ft and 1- 32 ft) that could be shipped together but dropped at a staging area and delivered separately.   

Tamlin’s prefabricated house packages are shipped to our clients once they have their foundation in. This way they are then ready to install the floor system and wall panels as soon as they have the truck unloaded. The builder and his crew did an amazing job on this house and got the wall panels installed in less than a day. Discovery Ridge homes are the smallest in our west coast contemporary series but still boast the same high ceilings and abundance of windows to take in the amazing views from the sites that they are built, and this one is no different.  
This home has 2 bedrooms and a den and 2 bathrooms, one is an ensuite to the primary bedroom. This client chose some upgrades to the package having the windows factory painted black on the exterior. We think that was a great choice as it really compliments the other exterior colours and finishings that they chose. We supplied the optional 1x 6 shadowline Douglas fir for the interior living, dining, kitchen and den ceilings.  This is a great option to bring some warmth to the interior and because our glulam beams are also Douglas fir it looks great against them.
Perfect for outdoor indoor living, this home has double sliding doors from the living room, den and primary suite and two covered porch areas.  Our clients took full advantage of this by adding a 12-foot x 48-foot deck across the front of the house. The over height crawl space allows lots of room for storage of watercraft and other recreational items.  A little input from our clients:
