This Greenlake area home is the result of an extensive collaboration with the owners to recapture the architectural character of the 1920’s and 30’s era craftsman homes built in the neighborhood. Deep overhangs, notched rafter tails, and timber brackets are among the architectural elements that communicate this goal. Given its modest 2800 sf size, the home sits comfortably on its corner lot and leaves enough room for an ample back patio and yard. An open floor plan on the main level and a centrally located stair maximize space efficiency, something that is key for a construction budget that values intimate detailing and character over size.

This 4,500 square foot house faces eastward across Lake Washington from Kirkland toward the Seattle skyline. The clients have an appreciation for the Foursquare style found in many of the historic homes in the area, and designing a home that fit this vocabulary while also conforming to the zoning height limits was the primary challenge. The plan includes a music room, study, craft room, breakfast nook, and 5 bedrooms, all of which pinwheel off of a centrally located stair. Skylights in the center of the house flood the home with natural light from the ceiling through an opening in the second floor down to the main level.

When you have to design something which can complement a house of great stature and national press, there are many thoughts that cross your mind. One of fear, maybe a little trepidation but mainly excitement. It's a brief any studio aspires to have and a real opportunity for a one-off piece of architecture which communicates harmoniously with its site conditions. Our client who already built a grand designs house on a flood plain was keen to explore options on the remaining part of their land. Having a house designated as Paragraph 80 poses its own complications. There are dynamics to meet in order for consideration and the local authority will not just permit any design. So our ambitions already exceeded the approach of a conventional brief. As mentioned the site is prone to heavy flooding and is shown to be completely submerged by 2030. This provokes a responsive architectural form and one which can withstand unforeseen changes in climate. The elevated living space sits above the ground providing solace and security. A place to view the ever-changing dynamics of nature. The building performs like a living organism, it adapts to various light conditions, improves quality of ventilation, and encourages propagation. Externally, a screen encloses spaces and protects them from overheating whilst preserving any occupant from overlooking. The pattern organically manifested from exploration of feathers, which seemed complimentary as the site is known for inhabiting protected species of birds. We investigated how buildings can co-exist in areas which experience extreme weather and in other cases even completely surrounded by water. These examples illustrated possibilities into how we can evolve our built environment. Leading exploration into technology and structural techniques pushing forward new frontiers. Such as buoyant foundations, which are currently being tested in parts of America post-hurricane disasters. Our design methodology was clear and took guidance from post-modernist design, evoking a purism in material pallet, spatial hierarchy and aesthetics.

The master bedroom space has views into the interior garden and external garden spaces. The dressing room is attached to the master bedroom space and the whole area can be used as a separate suite from the main house.
