KITCHEN + BATH SURFACES Kitchens move toward a more lived-in and less utilitarian feel, reflecting the personality in the rest of the home. Contrasting cabinets with unexpected color pairings, brushed brash fittings and cabinet hardware, and artisan style tiles with imperfect colorful glazes lend a more relaxed, artisan feel.

LETTER

PUBLISHER Claudia M. Brown EDITOR/SENIOR ART DIRECTOR Kiki Meletis PROJECT MANAGER Karla Prater SALES REPRESENTATIVE Nicole Rummel CONTRIBUTING WRITERS Melissa Dalton Donna Pizzi Emily Zahniser

LUXURY RESORT-STYLE LIVING AT HOME IS TOPPING HOMEOWNER WISH LISTS all over the Northwest. Designers and architects have embraced the challenge by creating exceptional spaces for recreation, refuge, entertaining and privacy. Enjoy the view, as they say, we’ve rounded up lots of inspiration in this issue and introduce you to the visionaries who made them all happen. Celebrating her clients’ love of art, designer Charlie Hellstern of Charlie Hellstern Interiors juxtaposed their home’s modern clean lines against the soothing views of Lake Washington, curating art and proportional furnishings befitting the large scale of the rooms. Already familiar, the residence was originally designed by Tom Kundig of Olson Kundig, where she had worked for a decade. Builder Troy Adams, Lane Williams Architects, White Space Design Group and Spring Greenworks teamed on a stunning ultra-modern home and garden overlooking Elliott Bay toward Seattle. Complete with a roof-top garden, the natural plantscape takes it cue from the surrounding harbor and cityscape.

Originally planning to sell a home he was building in a small West Seattle beach community, builder Jon Riser and his wife Tracy decided instead to enlist the talents of interior designers Kathleen Glossa and Tamar Kestenbaum to make it their family home. The result: urban chic interiors, magnificent views, and a bit of laid-back country life.

ON ELLIOTT BAY written by DONNA PIZZI

INSPIRED BY THIS RARE VIEW OF SEATTLE’S SKYLINE, ARCHITECT LANE WILLIAMS AND CONTRACTOR/HOMEOWNER TROY ADAMS DESIGNED AND BUILT A MODERN WEST SEATTLE HOME AS STUNNING AS ITS REMARKABLE VIEW. WHITE SPACE DESIGN GROUP PRODUCED THE ALL-IMPORTANT VISUAL FLOW WITH ITS CHOICES OF INTERIOR FIXTURES, FINISHES, AND FURNISHINGS, WHILE SPRING GREENWORKS’ LUSH LANDSCAPE DESIGN COMPLETED THE WHOLE.

IT WASN’T THE EXISTING 1902 HOME OR ITS HISTORY OF BEING THE LAST RESIDENTIAL POLLING STATION in Seattle that tempted Troy and Jen Adams to sell the traditional Kirkland home Troy built to build an ultra-modern one in West Seattle. It was the street itself. Palm Avenue runs along a steep cliffside that looks across Elliott Bay toward Seattle. “My wife fell in love with the street and its gorgeous view,” recalls Adams, who spent a lot of time researching the best architects, interior designers, and landscape architects for the job. “I do a lot of research when I’m building,” explains Adams, which is how he found Lane Williams Architects whose architectural style, longevity in the field, and ability to design a uniquely modern home appealed to him. In addition to sharing his roster of fine subcontractors, Williams adroitly designed a rooftop deck with a unique interior staircase with access to the roof. “Most people wouldn’t notice the rooftop staircase,” says Adams, “but those interested in architecture and building see it as a key feature.” “It is truly a breathtaking site with considerable challenges,” notes Williams who met Adams at the property initially. “You enter from the street level and suddenly everything drops at a very steep rate to the backyard. We had to stabilize that with steel pilings. The greatest challenge was how to create a design that takes advantage of the rare way the land curves around from West Seattle, looking back at downtown Seattle from as many rooms in the house as possible.” The solution was to create five floor levels with the central living spaces pushed to the view side, while less essential areas like the laundry room are found on the street side. For the living room, Williams chose LaCantina multi-slide doors, known for their good quality large units. “When a house focuses on a view at the back,” says Williams, “glass is not in the public view, so the part facing the public is relatively closed and inherently less welcoming.” To resolve this, he modulated the front façade using glass in the garage door and created a rooftop tower that acts as a glass beacon at night. Adams is also a sales manager for a large commercial steel distribution company in Montreal, which gave him great contacts for the Corten steel that became a defining element in the exterior and interior design. Prior to razing the existing home, Adams discovered Alex Childs of White Space Design Group of West Seattle, who assisted in its usage indoors. “Choosing hard surfaces are not a builder’s strong suit as a rule,” says Adams, “and Alex was great at that and illustrating it on boards that made the process of choosing hard surfaces very easy.” Additionally, her ability to create visual flow from floor-to-floor impressed Troy greatly.

White Space Design Group anchors darker palette as a backdrop that allows view to shine - including the MOSA fireplace tile that features three different tones in a single colorway. Restoration Hardware floor lamp right lights a pair of Pottery Barn Owen Leather Armchairs. The Adams’ handblown glass plates by Czech SkLO adorn wall between the living room and Williams’ den tucked at right behind a glass wall that opens onto water view.

“We considered the amount of natural light and the view,” recalls Childs, “and chose warm and deeper tones to anchor the interior space, highlighting the showstopper view.” As Childs began to work with the Adams’, who had come from a more traditional background, she tailored her design to create a blend of the latter with a more transitional aesthetic appropriate for the modern architecture. She anchored the darker tones of the kitchen’s Sorano quartz backsplash, painted Sapele upper cabinets with the espresso-stained oak lower cabinets Troy established with his cabinetmaker. Troy’s adjoining glassed-in wine cellar helps transition dark to light in the dining room overlooking the view. Childs also chose the MOSA tiles for the dramatic 18-foot living room fireplace that reaches that room’s cedar ceiling. The adjacent den is on a mezzanine level at the front of the house that Williams also opens to the back view via a glass wall. Adams pre-rusted the Corten steel that wraps the garage panels, continues through the entry, and appears periodically on the staircase landings and on the wall opposite the fireplace. “We used a solution of vinegar, salt and hydrogen peroxide to accelerate the rusting process,” he says, “then coated them with clear polyurethane once it reached the desired rust color.” His choice of a heavy Fleetwood entry door reminded him of a bank vault door. “Its oversized interior hinges allow the door to open and close effortlessly,” he says. Adams soon learned that building a modern home required much greater attention to detail than traditional architecture. “It starts with Williams’ great, detailed 3-D design,” he says. “Every sub who worked on the home had to don a pair of interactive-VR goggles to see what we were after before they began work.” The final pièce de résistance, was the landscape design by Robin Parsons of Spring Greenworks of Kirkland. Adams was familiar with her work especially in reference to modern architecture and says, “She nailed it right away.” She came on board when construction was already underway, but no front yard structures other than a concrete wall had been created. Working with Adams, Parsons designed the paths of

After meeting with Troy to get his vision, she looked at the big picture: architectural style, the client’s desires, and vernacular of the local area. “I made recommendations for a natural plantscape to integrate the home with the unique surrounding harbor and city scape.” Robin also considered City of Seattle ECA restrictions. Choosing Corten steel planters overlooking the backyard view aptly echoed Williams’ architectural finishes. The landscape plan was skillfully installed by Verde Design Studio, including collaboration on the water feature. Williams says his design focuses on livability. “What that means to me,” he says, “is a high level of comfort that requires balancing the desire for view with the need to feel sheltered: balanced refuge.” In fact, Troy recalls experiencing that feeling the first evening they moved into the home. “Seeing the joy on my wife’s face while we looked out on Elliott Bay on a beautiful October evening was so nice,” he says. “Just to sit down, take a deep breath after 17 months of building and really enjoy it.”

AFTER FINDING THEIR DREAM HOME – A UNIQUE TOM KUNDIG DESIGN OVERLOOKING LAKE WASHINGTON IN SEATTLE – THE NEWEST OWNERS TAPPED CHARLIE HELLSTERN INTERIOR DESIGN TO FILL IT WITH CUSTOM FURNISHINGS AND SOOTHING TEXTURE, AS WELL AS AN ALL-NEW ART COLLECTION.

WORK OF ART written by MELISSA DALTON photography by HARIS KENJAR

OPPOSITE A custom runner by Stark Carpets runs the length of the hall, with Ann Gardner’s “Bubbles” sculptures beautifully reflecting light overhead. The wall-mounted piece at the end of the hall is the owner’s custom desk. THIS PAGE In the entry, a light fixture by Erich Ginder, made of die-cut linen stretched over a laser-cut plywood frame, hangs over the clients’ table. The painting is by Laurence Jones.

In the dining room, the painting “Long Beach” by Michael Dailey sits above a whitewashed-poplar and blackened-steel console from Chadhaus. The Eero Saarinen Tulip Table is surrounded by Cassina Cab chairs from Inform Interiors, atop a rug from Driscoll Robbins. “It was important to me that the rug corresponded to the dark floor,” says Hellstern.

WHEN THE NEWEST OWNERS OF THIS SEATTLE HOME, a couple, walked inside for the first time, they knew what to expect. After all, the home had been designed by renowned architect Tom Kundig of the local firm Olson Kundig, and the couple were very familiar with Kundig’s work, from the cabins in remote places, to stunning modern abodes like this one in more local settings. In fact, when looking for a new home, a Tom Kundig design with Lake Washington views was at the top of their wishlist, even knowing it was a slim possibility: “There aren’t that many in Seattle,” says the owner. But in 2018, their realtor found exactly that. The couple could barely contain their excitement. “I was trying not to react with the selling agent there,” says the owner. “Every room I walked through just felt right to me.” Built in 2009, Kundig originally designed the home for two leaders in the art community with an extensive personal collection, who wanted a gallery-like feel to the interior, yet also needed the ease of a full-time residence. To that end, Kundig combined expansive white walls with rich dark wood floors and large steel-framed windows that capture the views of Lake Washington. The couple immediately liked “the juxtaposition of modern clean lines against all of this nature,” as well as the natural light pouring inside, which was so different from their previous 1909 Capitol Hill home. But upon move in, they realized that their existing furniture didn’t quite fit. “We were going for a complete opposite feel from the old traditional home that we had on Capitol Hill, and the scale was wrong,” says the owner. On a friend’s recommendation, they reached out to interior designer Charlie Hellstern to outfit the main floor. During their first phone call, Hellstern realized she was already very familiar with the home, as the designer had been at Olson Kundig for the first decade of her career, when the home was originally built. “I worked with Tom and know his sensibilities, so I was excited to help bring in furnishings that felt more in proportion to the large scale of the rooms,” says Hellstern. For the living room, Hellstern placed two Piet Boon sofas, their low-lying, linear forms balancing the high ceilings and keeping sightlines to the water clear, alongside two Piet Boon marble side tables. A light-toned, hand-knotted bamboo and wool rug complements the dark hue of the floor. In the dining room, Hellstern positioned “simple and classic” velvet Cassina Cab chairs around the elegant curving lines of an existing Eero Saarinen Tulip Table. Next came an all-new art collection, since the home had been originally designed for displaying art, down to making the front door wide enough for bringing in larger pieces. The couple started off with a painting that caught their eye at the Seattle Art Fair. The owner called Hellstern on the spot to get the designer’s opinion: “Charlie instills confidence in the process and I trust her judgment completely,” says the owner. “It was just a complete pleasure to work with her and her team.” Throughout the project, Hellstern guided the couple in their ensuing art choices. “We had lots of conversations. I start by sharing my own passions with art. I have drawn since I was a really little kid and always loved art,” says Hellstern, who routinely sent the couple favorite exhibits and artists, both local and international. “It was fun to talk about,” adds Hellstern. When the couple gravitated towards an artist, they would choose something that spoke to them, with Hellstern making sure pieces fit the overall scale of the home, as well as the individual room schemes. “We helped them in keeping with Tom’s proportions of the house, and really honoring what was right for each wall,” says Hellstern. Now, there’s suspended glass sculptures by Ann Gardner hanging in the double-height hallway that connects the entry and kitchen. “We used that space volumetrically to work with Ann on the commission of her glass ‘Bubbles’ and that helped us fill that space,” says Hellstern. In the dining room, a three-dimensional ceramic installation by Katy Stone reflects the movement of the lake outside, while a soothing

abstract painting by Michael Dailey doesn’t steal the focus from “My Girlfriend Ophelia,” a striking portrait nearby in the living room. Wood sculptures from local sculptor Aleph Geddis add further dimensionality. The art extends to several furnishings Hellstern chose as well, from the lantern composed of die-cut linen by Erich Ginder that’s hanging over the entry table, to the custom coffee table by Luma Design Studio in the living room, and a custom side table designed by Hellstern. When the owner inquired about locating a desk at the end of a long hallway, Hellstern worked closely with local artisan Jonathan Paul Fine Woodworking to fashion a wall-mounted desk from an aluminum bas relief by Texas artist Eric Breish. “[Breish] sculpts on metal, so he creates texture and movement in aluminum that allows for a shimmering effect as you walk around it,” says Hellstern. Now, the owner can work from an optimal spot in the house, then close up the desk and keep things stowed out of sight in the off-hours. Since the project wrapped last year, the couple has been relishing the views outside, from the eagles that nest in the nearby trees and create a treehouse feel, to the lake vista. Then there’s the indoor views to their treasured art collection, which still inspires connection between clients and designer. Although the project is complete, says Hellstern: “We continue to talk about art.” 56

BUCK MOUNTAIN written by MELISSA DALTON photography by TAJ HOWE

IT’S A COMMON ADAGE THAT THE KITCHEN IS THE HEART OF THE HOME, but when it comes to their recently built Buck Mountain abode, John Clark and Lynn Ridenour are more specific. The couple points to the kitchen island that spans 25 feet, from around the entry to the back deck. “It just gives us so much versatility,” notes Lynn. “We can both work at either end. When family comes, there can be a heated game of Settlers of Catan at one end, and somebody else making pasta at the other. It’s great for dinner parties. You can get three serious cooks in that kitchen and everybody has room to contribute.” Perhaps more notable than the activities that the kitchen island accommodates, is how such a generous feature fits so well in a rather modest footprint, since the home measures 1600 square feet across two floors. At the start of the design process, the couple didn’t want “anything too big,” says John. Two bedrooms, two baths, and a separate studio space were high on the priority list, as well as a contemporary aesthetic that lets the inside and out flow together, all for which they worked with architect Joe Herrin of Heliotrope Architects and builder Joshua Tye of Tye Contracting. Herrin is a longtime visitor to the San Juan Islands for both play and work, from holing up in his own local cabin for boating trips, to designing numerous homes there. Such is why John and Lynn discovered Heliotrope’s work. The couple were renting a house near Doe Bay and found its architectural plans. When they looked up the firm’s portfolio, Heliotrope’s nuanced style immediately spoke to them. 60

The lower level has an en-suite and a deck with views of the forested hillside. The landscaping was done by Steve Stanzione of Native Landscapes.

When it came time to find a lot, Herrin gave them his preferred criteria. “I always have this analogy: If you were dropped from a helicopter blindfolded, and they take the blindfold off, and you’re asked to figure out where you are, there are certain aspects of the San Juan islands where you really couldn’t be anywhere else,” explains Herrin. Those are: “A rock outcropping surrounded by madrone and fir forest with a view over the archipelago.” Incredibly, that’s exactly what John and Lynn found in 2017, when they purchased 8.8 acres on Orcas, with plenty of mature forest and a view. Herrin’s approach to island architecture is to work with the existing site as much as possible, to fold the house into the landscape rather than impose upon it. “We are always looking for ways to have the architecture uniquely respond to the particular features and drawbacks of the site, because they all have both,” says Herrin. “We try to be as site sensitive as possible. I love the San Juans and I’m active in all of the environmental organizations up there, so we’re definitely trying to minimize our impact [in that way].” A different designer may have cleared more trees and set the house lengthwise along the ridge, but that wasn’t right for this site, which already had a small clearing atop a very steep slope. “There was really no flat area,” says Herrin. The existing clearing created a narrow opening, so Herrin’s idea was to make the

house “deeper than it is wide,” and cantilever it over the slope. This forms the long kitchen-dining axis anchored by the kitchen island and bookended with glass doors and decks at either end. Additional windows, from clerestories running along the kitchen wall, to picture windows in the bedroom, were placed to maximize incoming natural light, reduce solar gain, and present framed views of all aspects of the property, like the preserved forest. The result is that “there’s an expansiveness to the home even though it’s only about 1600 square feet,” says Herrin. During design and construction, John and Lynn were Seattle-based and planned on renting the home

when they weren’t using it, so they opted for a durable material palette – like concrete floors and tongueand-groove clear cedar on the walls and ceiling – all beautifully crafted by Tye Contracting. “All the finish work is stunning,” says John, using the boards at the ceiling as an example. “If you look at those boards really closely, they line up perfectly. So, the board on the inside lines up, it’s the same board on PortraitMagazine.com

the outside, even though it’s going from inside to outside. The attention to detail is incredible.” That consideration was carried to the surrounding landscape as well, designed by Native Landscapes, where walkways were scribed carefully around mossy granite knolls and new plantings weave seamlessly into the existing forest. Since completing the home in 2020, just before the pandemic hit, the couple was so enamored that they moved in full-time, relishing watching all those thoughtful design and construction details play out in real life, whether they’re pushing open the glass doors and watching a butterfly float inside, or sitting on the deck by the downstairs bedroom with a cup of coffee, ready to lace up their boots and go for a hike. “There was Joe in his vision. There was Josh in his skill and attention to detail in building it. And then the landscape designer that came in and cleaned up and put it all back together,” says Lynn. “It’s just spectacular.” ABOVE LEFT The rear deck cantilevers over the slope, thanks to 42-foot-long support beams, each 1730 pounds, that Tye and his team carefully put in place, despite the site’s constraints. “We had to bring in smaller pieces of machinery and come up with clever ways to get the materials where they needed to be,” says Tye. The railings are custom. ABOVE RIGHT An AJ by Louis Paulsen lamp illuminates the downstairs bedroom.

Richard A. Fisher Architects and White Label Interiors worked with contractor Chad Stevens to create a vacation rental on two lots in Suncadia, WA, which could easily accommodate thirty people, or several families, at once. Rustic materials, like heavy timber and stone, were mixed with modern detailing to strike the right balance in the natural setting.

MODERN RECREATION written by MELISSA DALTON photography by MIRANDA ESTES

ADVENTUROUS CLIENTS TEAM UP WITH RICHARD A. FISHER ARCHITECTS AND WHITE LABEL INTERIORS TO FASHION THE ULTIMATE VACATION DESTINATION IN SUNCADIA, A WASHINGTON MOUNTAIN RESORT. BY COMBINING NATIONAL PARK LODGE VERNACULAR WITH SHARPLY MODERN ELEMENTS, THIS IS “SUNCADIA 2.0,” A WHOLE NEW TWIST ON TRADITION.

The living room is anchored by a large hearth clad in “Canyon Creek” stone by Mutual Materials. Black-framed Windsor Windows look crisp against wood casework and white oak floors, the “Rhine” from Wind River Flooring, sourced from Standard Floors. On the walls, Visual Comfort sconces from DFG at the Seattle Design Center are elegant accents. The seating area is composed of Lee Industries sofas and Four Hands coffee table atop an Annie Selke rug, all sourced from J Garner Home.

PortraitMagazine.com

NOT ALL VACATION RENTALS ARE CREATED EQUAL. Perhaps the kitchen is poorly stocked, or the towels are obvious handme-downs. Maybe there isn’t enough room for everyone in the family, so someone draws the short straw and has to sleep on the fold-out sofa in the living room. We’re all familiar with such shortcomings, but none of these things were ever going to be a problem at this Suncadia resort home. Finished in 2018, the project got its start when four couples who work at a high-profile law firm in Seattle came together to create a large-scale, “resort within the resort,” that could fit upwards of 30 people under one roof, kids included. “This size house is in really high demand in Suncadia,” says interior designer Stacy Becker, and the goal of the owners was “for it to be very comfortable, cozy, and livable for a family, but also to accommodate family reunions and corporate retreats.” Suncadia is a resort community that covers 6,300 acres in the Cascade Mountains between Roslyn and Cle Elum. It has 40-plus miles of hiking and biking trails, 36 holes of golf across three courses, and facilities that run the gamut from multiple pools, to an ice-skating rink, to axe throwing, making it a popular destination for year-round recreation. For this project, Becker, who founded White Label Interiors, teamed up with architect Richard Fisher of Richard A. Fisher Architects, who’s designed numerous houses in Suncadia over the years, as well as at other resorts around the Mountain West. The pair began with two large, adjoined lots with views of a small pond and the fifth hole of the Prospector Course, on which to build a comfortable 8,000-squarefoot home. For the exterior, Fisher drew inspiration from the tradition of lodge architecture in Pacific Northwest National Parks. Think materials that look at home in a mountain forest, like exposed timbers and masonry using regional stone. “It’s that marriage of timber, stone, metal, and the environment,” says Fisher. With such a large program – including ten bedrooms, eleven bathrooms, two pools and a twenty-person hot tub – the key was to ensure the site wasn’t overwhelmed by the house. “The trick here is to make the building look smaller than it actually is,” says Fisher, pointing to the stepped gabled roofs and how the materials meld smoothly with the surroundings. “You are making a statement in the middle of nature. So, it’s good that you respect that.”

In the kitchen, the rift white oak cabinetry has a custom-designed door style and integrated LED lighting, all fabricated by Northwest Custom Interiors. The “Sage Soapstone” countertops are a lovely contrast to the wood tones, and sync with the Walker Zanger tile on the backsplash. “Sebring” sconces from Sea Gull Lighting at the ceiling and Pottery Barn stools tucked under the counter lend an industrial flair.

At the exterior entrance, Fisher designed a porte cochere, where visitors can unload under cover from the elements. All of the parking was then tucked in an underground garage, with several stalls and two spots for motorcycles. “It’s all very secure. If it snows, they don’t have to worry about it,” says Fisher, noting that this way, there aren’t a cluster of cars crowding the property and neighborhood when larger gatherings commence. Regarding the interiors, the approach was “Suncadia 2.0,” says Becker, who’s been visiting the area for fifteen years and loves the rustic luxe lifestyle there. The goal for this house was to refine that rusticity with modern elements, in everything from the paint colors to the countertops and textiles. “It was really ultimately about lightening the space while still maintaining that mountain lodge aesthetic,” says Becker. Inside the entry, Fisher defined the great room with a massive stone hearth that sweeps to the vaulted ceilings lined with wood, and a wall of crisp black-framed windows captures the views outside. The living room flows easily into the adjacent dining room and kitchen, as well as the exterior patios via double doors. This makes for a sizeable area where everyone can gather easily, while still weaving in spots to get away, like the upper loft for the kids, a window seat by the fire, and protected outdoor terraces nestled into the building.

In the dining room and kitchen, lower ceilings foster cozy vibes. Heavy timbers frame the dining room perimeter and line the ceiling there. In the kitchen, a rich dark tile from Walker Zanger covers the backsplash, with a gorgeous soapstone slab sitting atop the custom rift white oak cabinetry. The room is party ready, thanks to two Miele dishwashers, a Wolf double-oven gas range, and Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, with an additional full-sized refrigerator in the walk-in pantry, as well as a pass-through window that provides access to the grill station. A nearby bar, with its own seating and serving counter keeps mixologists out of the way of the cooks. In order to strike just the right balance between refinement and rusticism, Becker started with the ideal white paint on the walls, specifically “Swiss Coffee” by Benjamin Moore. “Keeping everything a nice warm white gave us the perfect background to layer in the wood and the stone,” LEFT White Label Interiors custom designed the dining table, made by Winterwood Cabinets. The Four Hands dining chairs are from J Garner Home, and the iron light fixture overhead is Miseno. RIGHT Tucked in an alcove off the kitchen, the bar has more dramatic finishes, like the antiqued mirror tile, “Dutchess” by Bedrosians, and cabinetry painted Benjamin Moore “Midnight Blue.”

BELOW The sleek pool was designed with a ledge so vacationers can sit in the water without submerging. The pool house provides a spot for kids to play, an extra bedroom, or a nearby drinks station.

says Becker, noting that the unified palette enabled the design team to “go a little bit more bold in other areas.” Case in point: the antiqued mirror tile and inky blue cabinets in the bar alcove. “Because we kept the kitchen so consistent, that meant that we had plenty of liberty to play in the adjacent bar area,” says Becker. When it came to the bedrooms, having eight suites ensures comfort for multiple couples, and that there isn’t a short straw to draw here: under Becker’s direction, no suite feels the exact same, yet they all complement each other, with overlapping colors and furniture pieces, like the Four Hands chair from J Garner Home. The kids get to hole up in a six-bed bunk room with shared bath, the latter in which Becker, fittingly for this project, referenced the design motif of a traditional Glacier Bay blanket. “It’s lighthearted. It’s very regionally specific,” says Becker. “I showed it to the client, and they were like, ‘Awesome.’” Custom design detailing and top-notch craftsmanship from retired contractor Chad Stevens and the sub-contractors ensured that the large scale of the project never feels unwieldy to visitors. “When you’re dealing with a house of this size, it’s so important to find those little details and create

spots where you can linger and admire the craft,” says Becker. “The craft and customization really does help the large home feel a little bit more intimate, human scale, and high quality.” The cherry on top is the outdoor spaces, which were equally addressed with a high level of detail, including heated pathways to the two pools – one for adult swimmers and one for kids – two firepits, the 20-person hot tub, and a pool house that hosts the tenth bedroom, a bathroom, and bar set-up. “I think it’s a balance,” says Fisher, noting all of the contributors to the project, from himself and Becker, to the contractor, timber carvers, stone masons, and landscape designer. “It all starts with the clients, and then there’s a poetry in how everybody comes together.” ABOVE In a cheeky nod to tradition, Becker took inspiration from a Glacier Bay blanket for the kids’ bathroom, featuring multi-colored striped wall tile and black slate floor tile from Bedrosians. White Label Interiors custom-designed the vanity. ABOVE LEFT The bedrooms all received custom blackout window treatments from Shades of Elegance. Here, a Crate & Barrel bed frame was placed with a CB2 trunk and Annie Selke rug, the latter from J Garner Home.

Clean lines and loft-inspired colors and fixtures ground and define the kitchen in what otherwise might have felt like a cavernous space. Contemporary lighting from Kelly Wearstler’s architectural Nodes line is used throughout the home, including a statement chandelier over the kitchen island. Glossa and Kestenbaum’s skill with space planning resulted in high-functioning spaces for enthusiastic home cooks and entertainers. Sleek cabinetry frame Wolf appliances and a concealed Vent-A-Hood. The oversized island features a built-in walnut cutting board from Cross Cut Woodworks and a dramatic waterfall countertop of PentalQuartz.

CITY OUTLOOK

written by EMILY ZAHNISER photography by ANDREW GIAMMARCO

A STALWART URBANITE STRIKES A BALANCE BETWEEN HER CITY STYLE AND A NEW APPRECIATION FOR THE SPACE AND CALM OF A WEST SEATTLE OASIS WITH SWEEPING VIEWS. THE PERFECT MARRIAGE OF METROPOLITAN MINIMALISM SOFTENED WITH NATURAL MATERIALS AND TEXTURES RESULTS FROM A COLLABORATION BETWEEN DESIGNERS KATHLEEN GLOSSA AND TAMAR KESTENBAUM.

BUILDER JON RISER OF RISER HOMES THOUGHT HE WAS BUILDING A HOME TO SELL IN FAR WEST SEATTLE. Then the pandemic hit. His wife Tracy was juggling a young child at home and felt some cabin fever. “We started visiting Jon at the building site for something to do,” said Tracy. “The more I went out there, the more I became enamored with the idea of the small beach community and country vibe.” Riser pivoted to making the home their own. He’d purchased plans from architect Ryan Stephenson of Stephenson Design Collective, but with Tracy involved, it was time to bring in some expert design help. Tracy, a city girl at heart, wanted to capture the urban drama of big-city loft living inside the house while maximizing the views. “Fortunately, the home plan was the perfect fit for this particular lot,” said Riser. And he knew just the designer to bring their vision to life. The Risers brought on Kathleen Glossa from Swivel Interiors. Jon had worked with Kathleen before and knew her modern-leaning style could help them pull off a combo of urban chic and Pacific Northwest views. Glossa was in, but she wanted to do something unique. She invited her friend and peer, Tamar Kestenbaum of Sienna & Sage Interior Design, to collaborate. “Tamar and I have supported each other personally and professionally over the years,” said Glossa. “We’d talked about working together on a project, and this one was it.” Glossa and Kestenbaum played off each other’s strengths to bring form and function into alignment, beginning with the kitchen and great room. “Creating efficient workspaces is one of Tamar’s expertise,” said Glossa. “The kitchen and adjacent living areas are very large,” said Kestenbaum. “The triangle relationship between the work zones is designed to maximize the cooking experience. You can pivot to everything you need 98

Art commissioned by Laura Van Horn brings color and warmth to the minimalist aesthetic. “The observer may not fully recognize the role Laura’s art plays in creating a welcoming atmosphere,” said Glossa. “Her encaustics have an organic texture that provides an underlying softness.” Pendants from the Wearstler Nodes line grace a corner of the dining area. The designers purposely eschewed hanging lights in the dining and living areas to not interfere with the sweeping views of the Sound.

The monochrome theme throughout the home is reminiscent of vintage black and white photography of New York City. It also helps focus the eye on the lush Pacific Northwest views from every window, including the spa-like primary bath. White tile in the kitchen and bath reinforces the theme without feeling institutional. The designers’ attention to variating textures and finishes underpins the modernity with a bespoke character.

without having to cross too much space.” The dining area is immediately adjacent, and a connecting line of low built-ins extends along the base of the windows. “We love to entertain, and this layout makes it so easy,” says Tracy Riser. “There are inviting places to perch at the island, quick access to the dining area, and ample space to lay out a buffet.” One extensive discussion was on the color of the cabinets. “I was leery about the dark cabinetry,” Tracy said, “But it adds the necessary drama while helping to define the different parts of the room.” “With the volume of light coming into this space, it could have felt cavernous without the grounding effect of darker fixtures,” said Glossa. Glossa and Kestenbaum opted for a contemporary, neutral palette. Design elements like frameless cabinets, slab doors, and matte black fixtures have a sleek city vibe. But it doesn’t feel cold. Underlying all the urbanity is a softness fulfilled by considered details. Matte black plumbing embodies a rounded profile. White Metro tiles from Statements Tile & Stone sport a variated surface with a bespoke quality. Custom encaustic artwork brings color, depth, and texture to the clean, industrial palette. A built-in wooden cutting board on the island adds an organic touch to the extra-large swath of PentalQuartz cascading down one side. A focal point in the living area that embodies this approach is the fireplace. At first glance, it appears industrial, like it’s adorned in blackened steel. In fact, it’s meticulously asymmetrical cut Comfort R tile sourced from Statements Tile & Stone. “The effect is effortlessly modern but undulating and warm,” says Glossa. 100

Large plank, soft gray flooring, and natural wood soffits visible through the abundance of surrounding windows also tempers the architectural underpinnings. Not to mention the wild and utterly untamed view. “When you’re in the home, it’s like you’re floating in nature,” says Riser. “Tamar and Kathleen helped us encompass this effect through their exceptional attention to details like window placement, lighting placement, and of course, the glass railings on the deck.” One of Tracy’s favorite rooms is the primary bath. “I adore this bathroom so much. You’re surrounded by lush greenery and absolute privacy. The design was 100 percent Kathleen and Tamar’s.” “We purposely designed the room, including skylights, for the experience of the natural light and views,” said Kestenbaum. “From both the European style wet room and shower, and the free-standing tub, you have a view of the greenbelt through the windows.” “Tamar and Kathleen were instrumental in bringing to life our goals and ideas,” says Jon Riser. “The unique collaboration between the two of them, myself as the builder and Tracy as visionary, all in the same room really made the difference to a cohesive process and execution.”

IF THIS PARCEL OF LAND OVERLOOKING FALSE BAY IN THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS COULD SPEAK, IT WOULD HAVE A VERY FASCINATING STORY TO TELL. The fertile agricultural land once held a steep-roofed c. 1900s barn, and a humble 1960s abode that an English artist once called home. The new owners tried repeatedly to make that home their own without success. As lovers of interior design who often found themselves drawn to architect Tom Kundig’s work, they turned to Olson Kundig of Seattle and engaged Kirsten Ring Murray to design a modern home that would honor both the natural and agricultural history of the San Juan Islands. Murray spent a couple of days camping out in the existing house, whose inverted floor plan relegated the best views to the upper floor. “That was the first time I saw the whales,” recalls Murray, who, by standing on the furniture was able to see the upstairs view. “If we used the existing physical location, you wouldn’t be able to see the whales, the spit of land to the right or the shipping channel, boats and lights across to the adjacent island.” The architectural design – a timeless contemporary farmhouse sparked by the old, weathered barn – soon began to emerge. “We have wonderful timber resources here in the Pacific Northwest,” says Murray, “weathered wood that draws out the natural quality of the material and evokes the history of the land.” By connecting the home to the ground, the historic English garden that Steve Schramm of Island Gardens Company had already begun to redesign, and elevating the structure to include the incredible views, Murray created a more integrated site experience. A simple palette of sturdy materials - steel, wood, and concrete - weather well with minimum upkeep while providing equal amounts of beauty. Double-stacked energy-efficient Fleetwood windows with operable casement corner windows bring light into the open voluminous space. A construction company with considerable know-how was needed to tackle the architectural demands, including the installation of a 15-foot 16-gauge hot rolled steel pivot entry door, weighing nearly a ton, says Dan Lowe of Lowe Construction, a third-generation family-owned custom home business who built the remarkable home. “The pivot door was so large with only a half-inch reveal on the two side walls,” he says, “that I had to fork-lift it into place.” OPPOSITE Silk Tai Ping rust carpet adds pop of color to Custom Living Divani sofa.

Poured and ground in place concrete floors with light green tint feature radiant heat. “We used a floor grinder and polisher to give it a unique finish,” says Lowe.

Bearing in mind the intense summer light and heat of the coastal area, Murray designed six operable west-facing shutters that close when the homeowners are absent. Hefting the 18-20' steel shutters that operate on a barn track and are faced with the same knotty spruce siding found on the home required Lowe to fork-lift them into place as well. Years later, another iteration of the remarkable home found its roots in San Francisco, where a subsequent owner hired Lauren Geremia of Geremia Design. Geremia had been designing renowned tech offices in the area where the new owner considering retirement was then working. Geremia, who was launching her residential career at the time, was excited to be working with the legendary architectural firm. “Working with Olson Kundig was like a dream come true,” she says. Trained at Rhode Island School of Design, Geremia is an artist who enjoys integrating art into her interior design. “We don’t focus solely on furnishings,” she says, “but rather on the whole room with art being a big part of the conversation.” A painter in her own right, she eschews relying on standard paint swatches, preferring to create her own color palette by mixing paint colors herself. 108

Steve Schramm redesigned the British artist’s garden, including some plants grown from seed imported from England. Subsequent owners requested a labyrinth which he centered within his newly designed steel arbor that echoes Murray’s architectural design, its paths delineated by spine of lavender. Color and fragrance are found in lilies, alliums, yarrow, coneflowers, day lilies, primrose, iris, and climbing vines. Schramm salvaged the original Iceland poppies, species primrose, and crab apple tree right.

Since her client had lived in a lot of different locales, she wanted the art and furnishings to reflect a more eclectic point of view beyond the Pacific Northwest vibe. “The furniture is simplified, contemporary, and pretty masculine,” she says, “featuring a lot of beautiful steel.” Her choice to work with craftsmen from smaller companies meant much of the furnishings are sound, hardworking, and handcrafted by individuals rather than major companies. The view from the majestic windows influenced the choice of artwork for the budding collector. “We took it slow,” she says, “choosing art that complemented the landscape without overpowering it.” Although she had never visited the Pacific Northwest prior to this job, she had great relationships with its galleries, which enabled her, when on site, to introduce collected pieces on a trial basis that often proved successful.

The exterior elements that Murray had previously chosen have continued to age well, creating colorful variations that depend upon the amount of exposure to the weather, elements, and sun. “You’ll find all those tones in the coastal rock,” adds Murray. The steel fireplace exterior, for example, has been affected by the deep roof overhangs that create a canopy for the terrace and garden side. Steve Schramm of Island Gardens Company took his landscaping cues from the 1960s homeowner, whose mother was a British garden designer of some note. “By the time we got to work on the garden, it had fallen apart, but the bones were still there,” says Schramm, who echoed Murray’s use of steel to redesign the original circular arbor as a “room” inside the garden. “I built it using steel I-beams that have weathered with similar tones,” he says. He, too, used a painterly canvas as inspiration for his fragrance-filled plantings whose colors change and evolve with the seasons. In keeping with Murray’s usage of dark framed windows that recede, letting your eye go through to the view, Schramm learned from the late University of Washington landscape architect Richard Haag the importance of maintaining foreground plantings rather than eliminating them as others often do. “Like some of the best historic homes and farmhouses that last the longest here in the Pacific Northwest,” muses Murray, “it directly relates to how the building helps you to live on the site through a series of indoor and outdoor relationships. In that regard, this is a building that really works well. It has a quiet intelligence that changes over time thanks to the sort of comfortable and correct placement on the site, with a variety of architectural scales and experiences.”
