For Atlas Building Group, choosing the view is the easy part. All its homes along the Spokane River emphasize grand, unobstructed views.
Atlas has a knack for balancing the impressive spectacle of the river with the design of equally impressive homes. And in the Glasgow, for instance, the builder emphasizes the indoor-outdoor connection well, starting with plenty of opportunities to see and appreciate the river through large windows and plenty of balcony and patio space.
There are also plenty of appealing design features, river or no river, including innovative uses of LED lights throughout the home and well-placed reflective surfaces that catch the eye and add to the home’s spacious vibe.

The 3,348-square-foot two-story home offers all sorts of contrasts, from darker wood tones like black walnut to brighter woods like maple, all accented by hard surfaces like marble, glass and precisely placed lighting.
The open main floor containing the living room, kitchen and dining room is the first thing people experience.
A focal point of the home is the living room, with its expansive ceiling, massive fireplace and large TV, plus floating shelves illuminated by LEDs. Next to it is access to a brightly-lit temperature-controlled wine room that can hold up to 300 bottles.
Nearby is a custom-built table carved from maple designed by John Sanborn.
The kitchen area leads to a pantry, half-bathroom, mudroom and three-car garage.
On the second floor are three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, plus a game room and office area.
The primary bedroom includes his and her walk-in closets, and an attached bathroom with floating mirrors, a soaking tub, as well as a custom-made shower. Builder Kenny Debaene said the shower includes extensive tile work to make sure the colors were the same throughout, including the drain.
Each floor includes two river-facing patios perfect for entertaining or for reflection. N
