Surrounded by Lush Nature | Concrete House

The Concrete House is surrounded by nature. Designed as a concrete and glass box, it offers spacious and integrated spaces. The pool blends with the surrounding mountain landscape. The second floor houses the social areas, all facing stunning views of nature. Construction details, such as small remaining holes in the concrete walls, are preserved, providing scenic light points. From the front facade, the mountains can be seen throughout the building. The visual permeability of the glass enclosures, mediated by a set of blinds that provide different gradations of privacy, allowed sharing the house’s privileged view with the street.

  • Magnolia Residence

    A new residence located in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood designed as a simple three-story form wrapped in a cedar rainscreen and stretched across the width of the property to maximize views west toward Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Spaces are arranged according to the importance of prospect and refuge. Primary social spaces are located on the top floor where the view is best and where kitchen, dining and living flow seamlessly together in one loft-like space. Private functions — sleeping and bathing — occur on the second level screened from the street. The ground floor contains entry, garage and an opening through the house, front to back — a covered exterior gathering space that frames the view of water and mountain for the passerby at the street.
