This private contemporary residence was designed by DeForest Architects, and located in Seattle, Washington, USA. The architects designed a welcoming modern home with a seamless connection between indoors and out, using  a warm and elegant material palette.  The house’s open architecture blends in its interior and exterior flawlessly, allowing its inhabitants to enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of their home.  Each of the four bedrooms has a view of the lake and private deck and the guest bath and laundry are daylit by floor-to-ceiling channel glass.Floor-to-ceiling lift-slide doors and hidden steel structure maximize the sense of openness. At the same time, the house is warm and welcoming thanks to a weathered limestone floor, fir ceiling, oak and walnut cabinets, and comfortable furniture with clean lines.
