Tranquil modern home boasts indoor-outdoor living on Mercer Island

This tranquil modern home was designed by Garret Cord Werner Architects & Interior Designers, located on Mercer Island, Washington. Mercer Island is located at the center of Lake Washington, connected by a bridge to Seattle and Bellevue. Encompassing 4,200 square feet of living space, the architects have designed this home to be one with nature.

A spine of water is at the heart of this home, creating a separation between the public and private zones with glazed interior bridges connecting the spaces. The waterway begins with a reflection pool that transitions to a lap pool and culminates with an infinity spa that provides sweeping views over Lake Washington.

Exposed wood beam construction and highly detailed architecture make this dwelling one of a kind. An inside-out philosophy unites the architecture, interiors, and landscape and this is what creates such a tranquil and inviting atmosphere.

Overall, this home has an inviting environment with spectacular views over Lake Washington.
