Front, traditional

Transitional Exterior, Seattle

I designed this home for a young family, and one half of the client couple wanted a french provincial home, while the other wanted a modern, industrial home. I really listened to their dramatically different visions. They might sound insurmountably opposed, but what I aim for is that unexpected solution that can come from the most vexing puzzle. We found it: the home is spectacular--a juxtaposition of the traditional and the modern, a jewel on Queen Anne overlooking Seattle, Mt. Rainier and the Sound.
