This freestanding 1960’s era guest house is part of the historic 1908 Boyer-Lambert House located in Seattle’s Montlake neighborhood. Done in collaboration with Bob Swain, the original guest house and landscape boasted none of the charm and character of the arts-in-craft-style home. The renovation is based on a one-room concept that can accommodate family and friends, provide additional entertainment space and serve as a retreat for our clients personal use. Materials indigenous to the Northwest, including Douglas-fir, big-leaf maple and index granite, combined with a mix of native Northwest plants and interspersed with Asian species creates an open and airy indoor-outdoor feel.
