Navigating and inhabiting the home is a unique interaction with nature: open air verandas and glazed circulation corridors join the vessels and connect occupants to the adjacent landscapes, lake below, and distant North Cascades peaks.

“A good, practical circulation route makes tasks easy, and the absence of peripheral clutter allows the family to enjoy meals and company,” reveals the lead designer Vincent Sagart.

Located near the foot of the Teton Mountains, the site and a modest program led to placing the main house and guest quarters in separate buildings configured to form outdoor spaces. With mountains rising to the northwest and a stream cutting through the southeast corner of the lot, this placement of the main house and guest cabin distinctly responds to the two scales of the site. The public and private wings of the main house define a courtyard, which is visually enclosed by the prominence of the mountains beyond. At a more intimate scale, the garden walls of the main house and guest cabin create a private entry court. A concrete wall, which extends into the landscape marks the entrance and defines the circulation of the main house. Public spaces open off this axis toward the views to the mountains. Secondary spaces branch off to the north and south forming the private wing of the main house and the guest cabin. With regulation restricting the roof forms, the structural trusses are shaped to lift the ceiling planes toward light and the views of the landscape.

A post-war, Glen Park house was dark and tiny but had good bones and imaginable city views. It was one of those “little boxes on the hillside”. Our design transformed and expanded it into a bright, open, and comfortable four bedroom townhouse with panoramic city views. A huge new sliding skylight/roof hatch above an open staircase illuminates and seamlessly connects the central living and circulation spaces. All bedrooms plus a family room/guest suite are oriented towards the rear and front of house, ensuring direct connection to the out of doors, and privacy from family gathering spaces. The home is modern but has touches of warm traditional styling, anticipating a family with kids, a couple who enjoy entertaining, and or folks who like hunkering down with a good book and a morning cup of coffee.

The corridor combines warm timber wall panels with translucent glass partitions. Linear ceiling lighting emphasizes the length and geometry of the circulation space. The restrained material palette creates a calm transition between public and private areas. Textured surfaces add depth without disrupting the minimalist character of the architecture. The carefully framed perspective makes circulation an integral part of the overall interior concept.
