Fivedot 8 Reviews Greenlake Modern Home ModernSeattleWebsite This single family home in the Greenlake neighborhood of Seattle is a modern home with a strong emphasis on sustainability. The house includes a rainwater harvesting system that supplies the toilets and laundry with water. On-site storm water treatment, native and low maintenance plants reduce the site impact of this project. This project emphasizes the relationship between site and building by creating indoor and outdoor spaces that respond to the surrounding environment and change throughout the seasons.
Build screens into your architecture - For a more modern look, fixed screens as part of your home’s design can do double function – make a statement on the design and provide security so that you can leave windows open. For even more flexibility, mount slatted screens on sliding fixtures so that you can open or shut windows and screens to protect from the breezes or provide shade.
Camouflage for privacy - If you have a bathroom with a view, it might seem a shame to cover it up with traditional window dressings. To retain the view without sacrificing your modesty, consider a semi-opaque, patterned screen, like this punched metal window covering. This material is the perfect complement to the metallic textures in this bathroom; for less modern bathrooms, a patterned window film would achieve the same effect while maintaining a cohesive style.
Creative towel hooks - Think beyond practical hooks for your towels. Instead, find artistic hooks that are not only practical but works of art as well. These bronze divers are striking pieces, almost too good to hang a towel on. But do be careful to position them where they will not catch bathroom users on the head as they walk past.
