Beach House

This new home nestles amongst the trees of a watershed to take advantage of smaller moments of privacy in an otherwise urban environment. Mid-century lines divide airy interior volumes anchored by a concrete garage.

This cubist-inspired, mid-century modern home was originally constructed in 1970, designed by noted Seattle architect Ibsen Nelson.  An angular wing added in the 80's. Our design restores the original architect’s geometry, but re-invents the plan. 

Perched on a Bellevue hillside, the very modern, low profile of the structure spreads and steps across the site to capture commanding views of Lake Washington, Bellevue and Seattle skylines, and Olympic Mountains.
