Innis Arden Cliffside Modern

The existing home on this steeply sloping lot in the Innis Arden neighborhood of Shoreline was aging and in need of replacement.  The existing structure was demolished to make way for a new home to be developed on the property.  The design, for this approximately 3000 sf home, was challenging based on limitations on height limits from the neighborhood and restrictions due to the steep slope of the property.  The house was designed to hug the hillside with a single-story and daylight basement.  A low profile modern roof was designed for the home to allow for and maintain maximum views for the neighboring properties.  The main floor is laid out with the kitchen, living and dining spaces connected to an outdoor living area with a large sliding glass door and windows.  Other spaces on the main floor include a guest room, bathroom, mudroom, and attached garage.  The lower floor is laid out with bedrooms, bathroom, primary suite, and recreation space leading out to an on grade covered patio.  Both floors of the home are designed to take advantage of the sweeping views of the Puget Sound.

The builder of the home created a time lapse video of the construction of the home found here at this link.
