Urban Retreat

New Construction

A new Home in Leschi, Seattle, designed for a couple who enjoys to cook, entertain and lake recreation.

This new home is created in a very urban neighborhood. Visual and sound features are used to create a calm, and privacy, while large windows and bi-folding doors open to views of the beautiful gardens and the lake.

Program includes a wine cellar with a refurbished bank safe-door for entry, radiant floors, rain harvesting system that feeds the water feature and garden irrigation, custom designed steel staircase and other artisanal touches.

The house is designed to the maximum height and lot coverage allowable by code, and oriented for optimal lake views, to maximize the value of such prime property. Permitting involved obtaining a height variance, as well as a complex ECA exemption.
