City View Residence

Contemporary Exterior, Seattle

One of the most commanding features of this rebuilt WWII era house is a glass curtain wall opening to sweeping views. Exposed structural steel allowed the exterior walls of the residence to be a remarkable 55% glass while exceeding the Washington State Energy Code. A glass skylight and window walls bisect the house to create a stair core that brings natural daylight into the interiors and serves as the spine, and light-filled soul of the house.
