Useful information: Like 20th century residential architecture of the San Francisco Bay Region, Northwest style houses emphasize a regional modern approach, often using open plans and easy indoor-outdoor relationships within a woodsy vocabulary. Important early practitioners of a Northwest brand of mid-century modernism were Pietro Belluschi and John Yeon in Portland, and Paul Thiry and Roland Terry in Seattle. Architectural histories include Shaping Seattle Architecture: A Historical Guide to the Architects, edited by Geoffrey Ochsner (University of Washington Press); and Space, Style, and Structure: Building in Northwest America, edited by Thomas Vaughn (Oregon Historical Society).
