Queen Anne Mid-Century Modern

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. 

Fitting a very small site on Seattle’s Queen Anne Hill, this 3500 square foot home is a composition of contrasts, with solid, modern brick surfaces creating strong shoulders for the large glass openings.
