Jim Cutler Designed Home in Beaux Arts
2737 107th Ave SE in Beaux Arts is a pretty incredible northwest contemporary designed by Jim Cutler and built just 4 years ago in 2014.
The home is 5,565 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms on .37 acres. This is how it is described on the architects site:
This suburban residence was designed to house a family of six while maintaining a sense of privacy in a dense, but quiet neighborhood. The land, which previously held a small cabin, was blessed with seven tall, magnificent Douglas Fir trees in a grassy field. With the main axis extending from the front door to the largest of the firs, the trees have become an integral element in the daily life of this family.
The residence itself was organized into two wings with a central gathering space between them. The wings house the bedrooms, playroom, study and guest areas. The central gathering area, is a single volume, defined by a high ceiling and a transparent wall of vertical lift doors, opening onto the south-facing courtyard.
The wooden roof of this central space is supported by four slender steel columns. This high “light” structure is juxtaposed with the lower, “heavy” brick wings. This contrast of mass reinforces the nature of both materials, while viscerally delineating the differences between the public and private zones of the house.
Plus you’re in Beaux Arts Village with community waterfront, moorage and more.
What does luxury like this cost? $5.388m :).
