Classic Traditional Family Home

Classic Traditional Family Home
This classically designed home is located near Seattle overlooking Lake Washington. It’s designed for active and growing family so there are plenty of areas for gathering and entertainment. The main floor is designed especially for spending quality time together and in private while the lower floor includes media and play rooms. Because the owner of the house is a professional baseball player, besides standard areas like a generous lawn and a big garage there is also a 70-foot-long batting cage integrated into the site’s design. Even though the garage was designed for three cars in the result it became really big space because the batting cage is combined with it. [Schuchart/Dow]

Concrete and Steel Modern Interior Design

Concrete and Steel Modern Interior Design
This interior is a great example of how modern could be 1930s house inside. The 2200 square feet house is located on exposed site high above the city in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Even though the interior is sleek, muscular and contemporary it’s also Mediterranean-style archways and tile roof. Concrete and steel were added in interior during the house renovation. Coutertops, sinks, tubs, fireplaces and most walls are made of concrete. The walnut was used for floors, cabinets and a large dining table. During renovation many rooms were remade in order to catch more daylight. A two-story concrete wall on the low level features a beautiful water cascade which flows into a pool. [Schuchart/Dow]
