Contemporary Property in Washington

Kirkland’s East of Market neighborhood is the most urban of Seattle’s eastside communities, and this design represents very urban thinking.

Living spaces aretightly organized and vertical, stacked over the garage, with a shifting geometry between floors creating a more dynamic form and living spaces. That shifting language continues with the built-in cabinetry in the kitchen and at the large central stair and wall.

The stair wall, along with a simple singular accent color, ties the three stories together, creating a datum around which other programmatic elements align.

Materials are tough and weatherproof, with limited use of natural wood accents. A green roof sits atop a main floor bedroom drawing the landscape up into the stacked forms of the architecture.
