A New Mid-Century Modern Inspired House Arrives In This Seattle Neighborhood

Lane Williams Architects have designed this contemporary home in Bellevue, Washington, that’s conforms to the community design guidelines of the surrounding neighborhood that’s filled with mid-century homes.

At the front of the home, the landscaping was carefully designed to work with the design of the house that includes charcoal grey brick and aluminum windows, as well as cedar siding and ceilings.

At the rear of the home is a spacious backyard with outdoor living spaces. There’s a wood-burning fireplace and a covered outdoor living room.

Tucked into the corner of the backyard and located off the master bedroom is a semi-private pool and patio. The pool is a jetted lap pool and is hidden within an Ipe deck.

Heading inside, there are sliding glass pocket doors that disappear into wall to create an indoor/outdoor living experience. The living room has a vaulted tongue and groove cedar ceiling. Sitting above the gas fireplace is a motorized panel that can be raised to reveal the television.

The living room shares the open interior with the dining room and the kitchen. Large sliding doors can close off the den and playroom.

In the kitchen, white oak cabinets have been paired with grey porcelain counters, and a large window overlooks the front yard.

Off the living room is the hallway that leads to the bedrooms, bathrooms and laundry room.

The master bedroom has a sloped cedar ceiling and a wide pocket door opens it up to the backyard.

In the master bathroom, LED strips have been used to create evenly diffused soft lighting, while a skylight above the shower and a small window near the bath provide natural light to the space.

A dry erase wall, bold blue walls and a raised bed with a desk underneath make this kids room fun and playful.

A steel staircase by entry of the home provides access to the garage.
