Nuler Cudahy Residence
Built to maximize views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, this modern house utilizes carefully resolved geometries to create elements of surprise and capture natural light.
Seattle, WA
This partial tear-down and reconstruction of a ’50’s modern home explores opportunities opened when one is freed from traditional design imperatives that limit architectural expression and constrain site development. The program called for the addition of a penthouse suite, optimized views of Puget Sound and creation of a dynamic setting for family life, modern art and furniture. The street façade is scaled low to provide a “perch” for the penthouse and a glimpse of its long, curved wall, which acts as a linking device and adds drama to the interior spaces. Views of the Cascade and Olympic Mountains abound. Existing foundations and fireplaces were salvaged to reduce construction cost and limit environmental waste.
