Prentiss Balance Wickline ArchitectsWith a compact form and several integrated sustainable systems, the Capitol Hill Residence achieves the client’s goals to maximize the site’s views and resources while responding to its micro climate. Some of the sustainable systems are architectural in nature. For example, the roof rainwater collects into a steel entry water feature, day light from a typical overcast Seattle sky penetrates deep into the house through a central translucent slot, and exterior mounted mechanical shades prevent excessive heat gain without sacrificing the view. Hidden systems affect the energy consumption of the house such as the buried geothermal wells and heat pumps that aid in both heating and cooling, and a 30 panel photovoltaic system mounted on the roof feeds electricity back to the grid.
The minimal foundation sits within the footprint of the previous house, while the upper floors cantilever off the foundation as if to float above the front entry water feature and surrounding landscape. The house is divided by a sloped translucent ceiling that contains the main circulation space and stair allowing daylight deep into the core. Acrylic cantilevered treads with glazed guards and railings keep the visual appearance of the stair light and airy allowing the living and dining spaces to flow together.
While the footprint and overall form of the Capitol Hill Residence were shaped by the restrictions of the site, the architectural and mechanical systems at work define the aesthetic. Working closely with a team of engineers, landscape architects, and solar designers we were able to arrive at an elegant, environmentally sustainable home that achieves the needs of the clients, and fits within the context of the site and surrounding community.

Paradise HomesAfter extensive research online, Steve felt that the architectural style of Paradise Homes, with their clean lines and unique 'pavilion' concept, was compatible with the couple's wish for a luxurious sense of space together with more intimate private 'zones'. After checking the BSA builders' database and finding Paradise Home's record was entirely blemish-free, he called Chief Designer Anthony Jaensch. After a preliminary chat, Steve realised they were on the same wavelength and that was that!
Being a long, narrow block on a steep, sloping site meant building was going to be tricky. Steve and Laura wanted to take advantage of the site's northern aspect, breezes, and mature surrounding trees. Their brief also specified the home take full advantage of the elevation in the street, and let the beauty of the leafy St Lucia environs flow inside, giving them discrete spaces with the flexibility of a second semi-independent living area.
Anthony was able to meet their brief in spades, creating clever building solutions and optimising the block for orientation. Paradise Homes handled the design process very efficiently, even though most of the designing occurred with the clients overseas in Hong Kong, as Steve explains, "Anthony was superb in this process. He has an eye for detail, as you'd expect of a designer of his experience, but also a vision for how surfaces will synthesise in the finished product."
