Evergreen Point Waterfront

This Evergreen Point Project renovated an existing home and developed 2 acres of lakefront amenities and gardens in conjunction with The Pence Associates http://www.pa-architects.net/ and The Berger Partnership http://www.bergerpartnership.com/ This project was photographed for Better Homes & Gardens Magazine.






The interior was designed by Laurie Chriest, http://lauriechriest.com/index.htm and featured in a Seattle Times/Pacific Northwest Article http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=20041029&slug=pacific-pnwl31Mercer Island Nautical
Subtle nautical and Eastern design accents in this Mercer Island custom lakefront home were a result of a close owner, architect (James Rudolph http://rarchitect.com/index.html) designer and builder collaboration throughout building process. From the exterior sculptural support elements to a floating curved cantilevered open stair system at the vertical core of the design, the results of this successful collaboration continue to be satisfying to those involved in that creative process. This site presented numerous logistical and engineering challenges. It had long been considered an unbuildable parcel. Careful design and geotechnical engineering opened the door for this multi-floored structure supported in part by a tall integral soiled nailed & shocrete rear retaining/support wall.



Duvall Custom Remodel
Drawing on childhood North Carolina memories the owners chose to incorporate a material of near "folk" status in that region of the country (Tulip Poplar bark siding). A material nearly unknown in the Northwest, though in fact our rainfall and areas of North Carolina are remarkably similar. The result: an exterior of storybook cottage charm that seldom fails to draw comment and inquiry.
The interior principles for the update were openness, functional areas for all family members, a spacious master spa inspired retreat with luxurious heated floors, steam shower, jacuzzi soaking tub beside a cozy gas fireplace. All this fully wrapped in local fir paneling. This fairy tale cottage also hides a very modern lighting control system as well as home theater & sound system that even Rumplestiltskin would have too agree, Really Rocks!
