We believe that every project provides a conduit for the exploration
of human experience as it relates to the built environment and the
emotional response to a specific space, and the Broadview Residence is
no exception. Located on a busy street in north Seattle, the home was
designed to create a private and relaxing oasis for the homeowner. Our
primary goal was to create a home that complemented the scale and
fabric of the existing neighborhood while providing a private, south-
facing courtyard that takes full advantage of natural light and extends
the interior living space.
The home is designed with strategically placed public spaces, including
a formal entry courtyard arranged near the street, acting as a buffer for
the remainder of the home. Utilizing the natural topography allowed us
the opportunity to explore spatial volumes by varying ceiling and floor
heights. A subdued interior material palette aids in creating the peaceful
environment. Stained cedar walls cleverly conceal the home's storage
areas. A rooftop deck is positioned at the highest point on the site,
maximizing western views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.
