Chuckanut Farmhouse

Overlooking the Samish Bay in Washington, Hoedemaker Pfeiffers has designed Chuckanut Farmhouse. The family dwelling occupies a small clearing along the foothills of Skagit Valley. ⁣Due to the compact size of the lot, the home would have to adopt a square footprint. The block form was then cut in two and connected by a glazed breezeway, allowing sunlight to enter in all directions. The volumes were topped with gabled rooflines for a barn-like appearance while vertical timber cladding and a standing-seam metal roof added to the rustic aesthetic. An additional challenge to the site was the placement of a garage. The solution was to insert a concrete structure into the hillside, creating a space to park without disrupting the natural landscape.

Black Lava Sea Salt

Most of Jacobsen's sea salt is hand-harvested from Oregon's Netarts Bay but for this specialty blend, they sourced it straight from the Hawaiian islands. The Black Lava Sea Salt uses crystals from the Pacific Ocean and infuses them with activated charcoal, offering a unique, briny flavor and dramatic color. Sprinkle it whole for a crunchy texture or grind it for a mineral-rich finish to steak, vegetables, or seafood.
