WA Seattle | Forest and Dry Landscape Garden

🌟I always thought that American light wood houses didn’t emphasize structural expression and construction, until I saw this modernist residence from 60 years ago by Paul Kirk. 🌟The traditional roof style is broken by a triangular skylight in the middle, which is quirky yet deconstructivist, filling the room with shadows with sunlight. The central activity space inside is sunken and defined by indoor columns. 🌟In a Japanese-style spatial arrangement, there is an American-style Great Room with an open bar and fireplace as the core space model. The space under the corridor facing the landscape is very Japanese, yet it is faced with a straightforward, oversized floor-to-ceiling window. 🌟It’s a strange yet beautiful combination. #Seattle #WhereToGoInSeattleOnTheWeekend #Architecture #ArchitecturalDesign #ArchitecturalPhotography #VintageArchitecture #LA #OffTheBeatenPath #ArchitecturalDesignInspiration #Midcentury #Modernism #ModernistArchitecture #WhereToGoInTheBayAreaOnTheWeekend
