This 4,500 square foot house faces eastward across Lake Washington from Kirkland toward the Seattle skyline. The clients have an appreciation for the American Foursquare style historic homes found in the area, and designing a home that fit their family but the foursquare vocabulary was the primary goal.
Skylights in the center of the house flood the home with natural light from above the main stair, through to second floor, and down to the main level.
The plan includes a music room, study, craft room, breakfast nook, and 5 bedrooms, all of which pinwheel off of a centrally located stair.
