6110 N. Indian Bluff Road, Spokane

Paul Mack is an attorney, so he was a little too busy to be on site all the time contractors were building his dream home on a high ridge northwest of Spokane about two years ago.

But he kept an eye on their progress.

“I could see it from my office downtown,” Paul says. “I had a telescope on it and I could see people up there working on it.”

It stands out pretty well on its own. The house is painted in shade henna – an unusual reddish color – and built with a curved roof like one Paul once saw on an Australian home in an issue of Architectural Digest.

All the floors are taupe-colored concrete dotted with Oriental rugs, and the Macks have a black infinity-edge pool that flows over the side into a gutter, circulating the water.

Paul and his wife Suzanne have encouraged natural landscaping around their 3,000-square-foot home by using pasture mix, native plants and basalt rock.
