Exterior photograph of a contemporary residential home in Seattle, WA; the dark and light surfaces continually switch each other throughout the exterior and interior space.

PARKSIDE

From the outside, this house plays well with others—classic and tailored within an established traditional neighborhood. Understated exteriors open to modern light-filled interiors that are simple and uncluttered—home to an active family of four. The kitchen-centric layout of the ground floor flows to an exterior terrace, which is well suited to large gatherings as well as day-to-day family life.

The dark color continues on the walking surfaces: a dark staircase sits on white surface as it leads the way up.
Exterior view from sidewalk to a minimalist-design residential home; well positioned metal frame windows and large entry door compose the front facade.
Dark and bright colors welcome the visitors, floor to ceiling entryway door shines the space up.
Comfortable seating area appears next to the dining space, the open floor design runs into three symmetrically placed double doors in order to extend the interior space.
Horizontal and vertical layers of white and black surfaces meet at the dining room; in the form of flooring, walls and furniture, the transparent dining chairs are discreetly present.
The focus is on a white seated breakfast nook that is freely connected to the living room.
The kitchen and pantry are designed with lots of storage space; the neutral white surfaces almost become one continues line over the dark flooring.
Interior hallway with white walls and long, white curtains cascade down into dark flooring.
Generously sized shower with built-in bench, the white telework keep the space bright.
Interior bathroom with double sink and wooden, flooding cabinetry; the symmetrical design and the reserved color choice keep the space very clean and organized.
