Contemporary House With A Loft Like Space On The Main Floor
This contemporary house is designed by Seattle based Vandeventer + Carlander Architects for family of six. It is located in a prestigious neighborhood and organized vertically by activity – children’s on the ground floor, public on the main floor, and private family functions above. Service functions are located on the northern side within a volume defined by its external envelope of Corten rusted steel. This two-story enclosure accommodates the every-day needs of the family. The main level is a “loft” like space with glazing on three sides. This public space gives not only space for entertaining but also to display a large collection of contemporary art.

I like the pairing of forms and volumes and the quality of the interior spaces is great. I dislike the contras of the wood and the weathered steel/metal materials though. Too much going on with exterior materials. If it was one or the other and the opposite was a more simple material I think it would have been more effective.
