Sunset Homes: a house designed by Tucker and Shields

 


A changing pattern of living for the owners is reflected in this country house. When their children were smaller, the owners lived in a two-story town house in Seattle, Washington. In their new home, rooms are all on one level and open on enclosed garden space. This makes for relaxed living, easy entertaining, and, most important, minimum maintenance.

Big front doors emphasize a welcome feeling at the end of a covered entry walk. Inside the entry hall, they look out at a garden court consisting of a lily pool and vine maples. The family room also looks out on an enclosed garden and has space for dancing and for enjoying family hobbies. From a roofed deck adjoining the living area, there is a view of the Cascades.
