Architecture Design of Northwest Art House

Description About The Project

Northwest Art House, an artistic brilliance of a Lake Washington residence that goes beyond mere architecture. This home, conceived by passionate art patrons, not only reflects the owners’ personal taste but also serves as a canvas for Northwest masters. The extensive collection of glass, sculpture, and two-dimensional art takes center stage, seamlessly integrated into every corner. The main floor, organized around a central spine, creates an interconnected space where art flows from living to dining, family, and kitchen areas.

Windows frame breathtaking views of Lake Washington and the outdoor sculptures, fostering a sense of openness and unity between the art collection and the natural surroundings. The house’s unique orientation, akin to a houseboat floating on water, preserves views for neighbors and establishes an outdoor haven with a cabana, wood-fired pizza oven, and a vibrant garden. Environmental consciousness is evident with a green roof and rooftop solar panels.

This 10,000 square foot masterpiece is not just a home; it’s a dedication to community and a love of art. Flexible features, like sliding panels, cater to entertaining, emphasizing a central art corridor where guests can linger. The main floor is designed for family and guests, while bedrooms and cozy living spaces find their place above. Step into a world where architectural brilliance meets a passion for art, nature, and community.

Text by the Architects: The owners were quite generous with the design of their home – they built it for themselves, but also to support the larger art community of which they are a part.” –Jim Olson, Design Principal
