Edelstein residence

This major remodel and expansion to a 1940's house on a steep lot overlooking Lake Washington is couched in intimate hillside gardens from which the distinctive rooflines spring upward and outward celebrating the new curved floor plan, the broad vistas beyond, the spirit of the owners.

The main entry into the house opens into the south facing sun room which in turn flows into the other light-filled living areas. The original exterior brick wall has now become an interior design feature.

View of the living room. The tight interior spaces were opened up and organized around a centrally located, curved wall which inspired the design of the multiple curved roofs and stair railing details.

The curved ceiling allows daylight to be reflected into the interior spaces by way of the clerestory windows located high up on the curved wall behind the fire place wall. Light then flows into the living room area through the large wall openings that surround the fireplace.

We designed the new kitchen to take advantage of the abundant south-facing light and views to the lake and gardens.

The view from the living room into the dining room through the wall opening. Wherever possible we opened up the rooms so that light could flow throughout the house.
