Lake Washington Residence
Posted by Shelby White
This Lake Washington Residence is a 4,000 square foot home designed by Miller Hull Architects. It was built on Mercer Island overlooking Lake Washington, just outside of Seattle. It faces outward from the edge of a steep hill and heavily forested area over the lake. The view alone is just as captivating as the actual house.
The main entrance of this residence is from the hillside above via a bridge to the third floor. The uppermost level of the residence is used as a place for guests to stay. The residence was designed to be naturally ventilated where the main staircase would pull air up and through the house. I do wonder how well insulated the home is.

September 13, 2010 at 11:04 amI’m particularly fond of the architect’s use of wood and metal to form the exterior. Captivating, indeed!

I was being sarcastic….
I would honestly like to know the cost. I think we can all agree its seven figures…

September 15, 2010 at 2:00 pmJon, I also have developed a great liking to their residential and commercial projects that I hadn’t known existed prior to posting this residence.
Awhile back I posted the Michaels Sisson Residence which was also by them and just yesterday I posted on Wanken a Secret Island Residence also by them.

October 20, 2010 at 10:33 amI like this building, because the material used adequate with the nature. As if its part of the nature, and compatibility of the materials with each other. As well as the use of day light and transparency materials. In addition what discriminate this building that it has no curves.
