Amazing.
I didn’t think there was much that could go on this lot – street on the north, commercial club road on west, parking lot on south, tight property line on east. Not only did it take advantage of the lot, it made every side, including under the house, beautiful. The interior is nothing 98% of the ‘builders’ out there could try.
Very few home designs can touch even a small element of this home.

Why would glass not be practical in the rain?

Considering that Mercer Island receives A LOT of rain, a mostly glasss building is probably not that practical….

I wouldn’t use Mycroft’s words, but it definitely is too industrial to me.

I love the internal double height chimney but other than that I don’t like it. Way too cold and factory like for me. There just doesn’t seem to be any human input or character or warmth. I’d imagine it would be a very souless place to live.

All the warmth of an oil refinery.
