This clean urban house is located on a narrow thirty-five foot lot in Seattle, Washington. Main materials which was used during the construction are cedar and fiber cement panels. It’s designed to maximize access to natural light and views yet maintain privacy. Because of the small site it has three floors and a terrace on the roof. Public living areas are located on the ground floor, private bedrooms on the second floor and a shared office on the third one. The floor plan is linear so all floors have very efficient layout. The south facade of the house features large expanses of glass and is protected by a cedar sun screen. [Vandeventer + Carlander Architects]
