Contemporary hillside home captures ocean views on Bainbridge Island

house-contemporary-exterior

This contemporary hillside home of 1,500 square feet was designed by Coates Design Seattle Architects, located in Bainbridge Island, Washington. Bainbridge Island is one of the largest islands in Puget Sound, approximately eight miles due west of Seattle and comprises 28 square miles and 53 miles of coastline.

Built on a steep slope with prior landslide issues, this home presented an exciting challenge for the architects. As the residence has direct beach access it was designed with the sensitive shoreline environment in mind. This project showcases Coates Designโ€™s ability to permit and construct homes on complex sites; this site even required 50 foot pilings!

The south side contains the living/dining/kitchen area on the main floor and downstairs holds a recreational space while the north side contains the master suite and additional bedrooms.

The homeowners were a young family, searching for an open concept plan that maximized their stunning, 180 degree view of the Puget Sound. One of the owners is a cabinet maker and she was able to showcase her talent within the beautifully day lit kitchen space.

Upon entering this dwelling, visitors travel across a bridge and through a concrete corridor that separates the public and private zones.

This home was custom tailored to the family and Coates Design hopes that they will continue to love and enjoy the space for many years to come.
