Madrona House —- Seattle, WA

Perched on a steep slope overlooking Lake Washington, the house contains indoor rooms that open outward onto terraces and decks for dining, bathing, and entertaining. Originally designed by Wendell Lovett, the house was modernized for a family that loves cooking, art collecting, and being outdoors. A material palette of wood, stainless steel, concrete, and glass are arranged to weather naturally and create transparency, depth, and bring in reflections of the trees, water, and skies beyond.
