KIRKLAND RESIDENCEKIRKLAND, WA - This Usonian-inspired home was designed to live large. There is a strong indoor-outdoor connection as soaring overhangs protect multi-panel, operable openings that graciously expand the interior gathering spaces out to a flush-level deck. The Shou Sugi Ban wood siding dramatically enhances the home’s longevity by increasing its resistance to fire, fungi, and insects while providing a dark, understated backdrop for the landscaping. The interior suspension staircase provides the home with a show-stopping focal point.
