Designed by DeForest Architects, this stunning modern Tudor home in Seattle, Washington, is a beautiful transformation of a modest brick Tudor into a sophisticated, light-filled residence. A couple who love books and dogs had admired this home for years before purchasing it, and the renovation was built entirely around their passions.
Bookshelves and inviting reading nooks woven throughout, modern steel windows and doors that flood the interiors with natural light, and a breathtaking exterior facade that overlooks beautiful Lake Washington. This award-winning project took first place at the Northwest Design Awards.
