Kelsey Creek Residence - Featured
5 Beds / 5 Baths / 4600 SF
Wilburton / Bellevue
Completed in 2024
Architect: Stephenson Design Collective
The family of five needs an upgrade from their 2000 sqft house. Our team helped them find this property in the desirable Wilburton neighborhood and built their dream home. It is only steps away from Kelsey Creek Farm, a great area to raise kids. The cladding of the house is designed using Shou Sugi Ban siding, charred Japanese cedar, for preservation, easy maintenance and weatherproofing, which also gives a unique character to the house. To make the house less prominent in this quiet neighborhood, architect breaks the house into several volumes and stacks them in different height and depth. Interior of the house features 17’ high ceiling in main living area, and 21’ in dining room, floor to ceiling vertical windows breaks up the massive interior walls and also bringing in defused light from north side into living area. Another unique feature is the floating staircase that is structurally designed to have each treads sticking out from the wall without stringer to support from below, which becomes the center piece of the house. There are many other details including corten steel planters, plunge pool/jacuzzi combo, Ipe decking, custom metal shelves, German cabinetry, Italian wardrobe system, smart home automation, Lutron lighting control, security system and automated shades…etc. The house is thoughtfully designed to fit the family’s needs both in style and function.

The client likes our featured house “Atrium Home” center courtyard idea, so we collaborated with the architects to create another unique house for this family of three and their parents and guests. The house conceives as two separate wings, the north wing for the family, and the south wing for the parents and guests. The two structures are connected by an outdoor bridge and a corridor with glass walls on both sides. The corridor also divides the courtyard into two: one partially covered with outdoor sitting area and one fully open for gardening and to bring light into the house. Both courtyards create a seamless indoor outdoor connection from most spaces in the house.
