West Seattle Residence

Seattle, WA

This home is centered around the idea of blurring the boundaries between the inside and the outside. The front patio at the entrance is covered, screened from the street by the plantings and becomes a continuation of the dining room inside. The living room and kitchen open up to the backyard and feel like an extension of the outdoors. An oversized sliding patio door seamlessly connects the inside and the outside while the translucent glass roof provides natural light along with rain protection. The main house is connected to the garage by a covered walkway creating a private backyard. The exterior massing of the home is carefully thought out to create a balanced composition. The mix of warm wood siding and fiber cement paneling create a modern pacific northwest feel.
