European sensibility meets Pacific Northwest modernism in this extraordinary residence, where architecture, art and nature come together in unexpected ways. Built in 2013 with remarkable intention, steel, concrete and walls of glass pair with warm wood and natural light. Radiant-heated concrete floors, exposed steel and soaring windows frame the greenery and connect living spaces to the outdoors. Flexibility is integral to the design. A glass-walled yoga/fitness room opens to a covered deck and offers possibilities as an office, wellness or creative space. A few steps down, an unexpected flex room with an industrial roll-up door and sliders to the private garden patio creates a retreat for overnight guests, additional sleeping space, office or creative escape. Outdoor living is woven into the architecture with two covered year-round decks and two open-air decks. Above it all, a sculptural steel-and-wood staircase leads to the rooftop deck for sunsets, territorial views and Mount Rainier on clear days. The gardens are equally intentional, with sustainable and native plantings, herbs, vegetables and year-round interest. Mature landscaping envelops the home in greenery and privacy. Even the expansive garage was conceived for flexibility. Fully insulated with radiant-heated floors and 240V power, it offers possibilities for an art or ceramics studio, workshop, photography or fitness space while accommodating multiple vehicles. Artistic, private and wonderfully unconventional!
