A live-work residence designed for an interior designer and a modern abstract painter. The pictorial name of the project was dictated by the orientation of the house and the way it modulates, softens and fragments the intense western light. The view toward Puget Sound and the Olympic Peninsula is free from structural impediments with dramatic openings while the east side is more solid and private. A system of exposed concrete mass walls and steel frames constitute the bones of the project. The massing is composed of volumes stepping down from north to south in terraces. Trellises and green roofs cradle the upper floor and master suite in a private and dramatic setting. From the structural skeleton to the smallest detail everything is a clear continuity between idea and material.

Cool place for people who would prefer working in their homes. Kinda eerie though if you live alone but a good pad for couples. Both interiors and exteriors of the house appear neat! Has great architecture on the outside and decent design on the inside. I like how spacey the insides are, gives the you the perception of not being a prisoner inside your own home and gives you the freedom to do countless activities. Wish I could get a house as neat as this. Any idea how much these houses cost nowadays?
