HELLO

Art director Shawn Williams explains that her goals were to

update the look of the magazine, making it “fresh, friendly and

upbeat—yet still exuding a sleek, clean, sophisticated presence

that reflects our brand and the region’s design sensibility.”

Of course, the magazine remains fully dedicated to home

design and living well at home. We’ve kept many of your favorite

parts of the magazine—our beautiful home features with multiple

spreads of gorgeous homes throughout the greater Seattle

area—and added some new departments that focus on specific

aspects of great design.

With the magazine’s new look and some new departments,

we’re recommitted to great design: architecture, interior design

and outdoor living solutions uniquely suited to the Northwest

environment.

Check out these departments: TALENT, with profiles of regional

designers, architects, artisans or craftspeople (in this issue, we

feature the 2009 Design Achievement Award honorees, page 32);

AT THE TABLE, where we share food, wine or entertaining ideas

(try our holiday cocktails, page 40); BEFORE & AFTER, a staff and

reader favorite, formerly known as “Room for Improvement,” which

features an original view of a living space and then what the

homeowners and design pros did to make it fabulous (page 70);

GREEN LIVING, focusing on sustainable design, whether of

products or homes (in this issue, we spotlight a North Cascades

vacation home, page 74); DETAILS, in which we focus on specific

ideas, products or workmanship that make a project sing (page

76); and RIGHT NOW, with photographs of products or ideas

that magazine staffers and featured designers love right now

(page 88). SCENE includes snapshots from community and

industry events (page 81). And our SOURCES page tells you

how to contact the professionals who worked on our featured

homes (page 86).

We’ve also added some new staff members: publishing

director Suzie Osterloh ([email protected]), and

account executives Maile Wolf ([email protected])

and Sarah Filicetti ([email protected]). Please join

us in welcoming them.

We hope you enjoy our fresh new look and home design–rich

content, and I invite you to share your thoughts with me or any-

one else on staff. (Learn how to find us online on page 21.) We’d

love to hear what you think the next 13 years can bring.

ow that Seattle Homes & Lifest¥les is a teenager (October 2009 marked 13 years of continuouspublication), we decided it’s time for a new look. Since its launch in September 1996, the magazine hasundergone just one significant redesign, in October 2003. Six years later, we felt it was due for anotherremodel—to refresh the things we love in the magazine and to add a few new features.

STYLE


home officein°pi>ati~n°WRITTEN BY STACY KENDALL

PHOTOGRAPHS BY HANK DREW AND JOHN GRANEN

This may be a frightening prospect for some people,but it could be said that the home office is one of the mostdefining rooms in the house when it comes to personal style. Other rooms often get credit for establishing our taste in décor, but howwe work says a lot about who we are. Even sequestered behind closeddoors, home offices reveal how we live when we think nobody’s looking.

ANY GREAT INTERIOR DESIGNER WILL TELL YOU that getting to know the client plays a

critical role in the creative process—which often involves months of considering color

choices, style preferences and living habits. A year ago, interior designer Christine Archer

took on a home-office project for perhaps her most discerning client: herself.

Archer finds it essential for her office to be welcoming and tidy for meetings with col-

leagues and clients. And because she’s an interior designer, it’s vital that the room reflect her

taste and her ability to transform a space into something special.

She sees the home office as the most overlooked room in the house as far as design is

concerned. “When you go to people’s homes, they will say [about the office], ‘Oh, don’t look

in there,’ ” Archer observes. “But people work harder and longer these days, so spending time

in the office should be enjoyable.”

Archer’s own office is a bold study in contrast and color. In the center of the room, her

desk is an elegantly shaped wood table that faces French doors. Two Granny Smith–apple

green leather cubes in front of the desk serve as tables or extra seating. Between the desk

and large windows are armchairs upholstered in rich chocolate brown.

The designer identifies her “style” as transitional, but for her office, she was moved to

incorporate some modern elements. “These lamps inspired the whole room,” she says, ges-

turing to two chic lamps on top of the file cabinet behind her desk that flank a white-framed

mirror. “The [mirror] wall is the first thing you see when you walk through the doors, and it

carries the whole room,” Archer says. She painted the walls Benjamin Moore’s Mink, one of

her favorite shades of brown, and accented with furniture and accessories in crisp apple

green and white. The color scheme livens up the room without distracting from its function.

“This room inspires me daily, and most importantly, it makes me happy,” Archer says.

“Nobody walks out of here without a smile on their face.”

THE SOFT NEUTRALS, BRIGHT JEWEL

TONES, GLAMOROUS OBJECTS AND

MIX OF STYLES IN HEATHER

CHRISTOTHOULOU’S OFFICE CREATE

AN ATMOSPHERE THAT IS BOTH

COMFORTABLE AND CHIC.

consider the desk:

“we wanted the loo√

of the partner des√—

two people on both sides.floating the desk is elegant instead

of utilitarian, and the modern edge is

made inviting by the two

upholstered chairs.”—CARRIE HAYDEN


HEATHER CHRISTOTHOULOU’S HOME OFFICE is a mélange of styles, based on striking a

balance and creating visual interest rather than demonstrating a rigid adherence to one

look. The eclectic combination includes feminine accessories, such as pink Lucite benches

and a crystal ship chandelier over her desk, as well as masculine pieces, such as metal-and-

wood bookshelves and an espresso-hued desk. The resulting tension of silhouettes creates

a visual dynamism that keeps Christothoulou

thinking creatively.

For Christothoulou, nurturing the creative

spark is serious business. As a classically trained

chef, she inspires others with her food and

lifestyle blog, heatherchristo.com, where she

shares her favorite recipes and details menus and

décor ideas for special occasions.

In designing her home-office space—with

the help of interior designer Carrie Hayden of

Great Jones Home—Christothoulou made sure

that the things that inspire her creatively would

always be only a glance or an arm’s length away.

“I wanted a space that would really be my own—

feminine and glamorous,” she says. The ship chan-

delier, for instance, was pure indulgence in her

longtime love of the whimsical design. “My hus-

band thought it was a little crazy, but this was my

way of keeping things lighthearted and having a

sense of humor,” Christothoulou explains.

It was Hayden who planned one of the home-

owner’s favorite office furnishings: the custom

linen-covered bulletin board with a decorative

gold frame. “It’s my inspiration board, and I fill it

with clippings and photos—all the things that I

want to keep fresh in my mind,” Christothoulou

says. “Most people would look at it and see chaos,

but I’m continually swapping things out for new

inspiration. Especially when I need to sit down and write a recipe or come up with ideas for

parties, I come to my office,” she says. “I never know what’s going to jump out at me.”

The bookcases opposite the desk showcase Christothoulou’s vintage art and fashion

books, pieces from her seashell collection, family photos and pictures of her husband and

young daughter, Pia. Along with the family dog, a St. Bernard named Henry, Pia is a constant

companion for Christothoulou while she works, so Hayden chose a soft rug for under the

chair and desk. “Heather is really surrounded by the things she loves in this room,” Hayden

says. “The colors—yellow, gray and pink—are her favorites; the souvenirs gathered on their

world travels and fresh-cut flowers from her garden all make it a great escape for her.”

Whatever your work or design style, don’t hide your home office: Highlight it by creat-

ing a personal retreat in which your best ideas can be inspired by the most well-designed

surroundings.

WORK AT HOMEBEAUTIFULLYTHE INTERIOR DESIGNERS IN OURSTORY SHARE THEIR ADVICE ON HOW TO MAKE WORKING AT HOME WONDERFUL

CHRISTINE ARCHER

PUT FUNCTIONALITY FIRST: “Think about the things you have touse: a laptop or a desktop computer?Lots of wires are distracting, so theyneed to be hidden.”

STAY NEAT:“In the office, having lots of drawerspace puts clutter out of sight butstill easily accessible. Thougheveryone works differently, thingsneed to be within reach but be ableto be put away at the end of the day.”

CONSIDER MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS:“I’m working with a client right nowwho’s in the wine business, and wehave discussed putting a smalltasting bar in his home office thatcan be covered up with a decorativescreen when he’s not hosting clients.”

FOLLOW THE RULE OF THREE: “People don’t realize how dark theirspace is. One of the most importantthings is having a lighting triangle—overhead, natural and task lighting.”

CARRIE HAYDEN:

CARRIE HAYDEN

LET THE CREATIVITY FLOW: “In Heather’s office, beingsurrounded by the objects she lovescreates visual reminders for her thatserve as inspiration. The office is agreat place to put personal items.”

MIX UP THE LIGHTING: “Especially in Seattle with ourwinters, it’s important to have a desklamp to create a cozy feel. It shouldbe a fun object, and with acombination of lighting you can varythe ambience of the room.”

KEEP SOME THINGS OUT OF SIGHT: “You have to get creative withstorage. In Heather’s office, a closetholds all of the electronics, and herfiles are in the built-in bookshelves.It’s important to disguise thosethings so they don’t weigh the space down visually.”

PERSONAL TOUCHES ON THE DESK, SUCH AS ADISPLAY OF HAND-WRITTEN RECIPES AND FLOWERSFROM THE GARDEN, FOSTER AN INTIMATE SETTING.

go big:

“each office space has to have that amazing piecethat is the point of reference for the whole room.

it could be a great antique mirror, or a beautiful

settee or a gorgeous bookcase that softens the

practical function of the room.”—CARRIE HAYDEN

TREND


LATE FALL AND THE ONSET OF WINTER is a fabulous time forcolor, and this season we’re glamming it up with a rich palette ofraspberry, oyster gray and gold. Gray is still the reigning neutral,but now it’s a warm hue instead of the dark charcoal of two yearsago. And gold has successfully established itself as the hot accentfor the trend conscious. Raspberry is the It Girl, so to speak, but thispink trend runs the gamut from pale rose to deep red.

“I started seeing the pinks as a trend in Europe,” says artistLauren Sloan, owner of Ravenna’s Lauren Sloan Designs boutique.“I think we’ve gone through the cool colors, and now designerswant to spice things up with the deeply saturated jewel tones.”

This palette truly dazzles during the holidays, so we can’t waitto cozy up to these colors this season. For inspiration, we drewfrom this scintillating trio to create a traditional room warmed bycandlelight and ready for a romantic holiday evening.

Products shown on this page were borrowed from Seattle-area showrooms and retailers includingLauren Sloan Designs, Polly McArthur & Associates, Andonian Rugs, Lighting Universe, andMasins Fine Furnishings & Interior Design. Our model, Nancy Clark, is wearing a Shipley & Halmostank dress and Christian Louboutin pumps from Barney’s New York.

TALENT

The honorees are nominated and chosen by an exclusivepanel, which changes each year but is always composed ofpast winners and notable local design professionals.Panelists submit nominations in four categories of design(architecture, interior design, landscape design and anopen category), then meet over lunch to discuss the relativemerits of each nominee and to agree on criteria for the year’shonors. Discussions lead to debate—and sometimes evenarguments—but no one leaves until consensus is reached.

For this, our seventh annual awards, our panelists choseto honor designers whose many varied contributions to

their disciplines make them worthy of lifetime achievementawards. But what earned them this award, our judges stressed,was that despite lengthy and illustrious careers that mightlogically lead them to comfortably retire, all of these designersare still actively producing new and innovative work.

This year’s selection panel included three 2008 DAAhonorees—interior designer Maryika Byskiniewicz, landscapearchitect Barbara Swift and lighting designer BrentMarkee—as well as architect Peter Conard, principal ofSullivan Conard Architects, interior designer JenniferRandall and Jane Weed, owner of Jane Piper Reid & Co.

Fickle trends and specific styles don’t faze interior designerTerry Hunziker. Throughout his career, he’s been interested inonly how a room feels: “To me a space feels right when manyelements, such as scale, texture, color and concise selection offurniture styles come together in a balanced, restrained way,”he says. “Restraint and editing are key factors.”

In 1985, after working under local design great JeanJongeward for 13 years, Hunziker began an eponymousfirm that has steadily powered interior design forwardever since. Since his career began, the interior designer’seye has been concurrently on furniture design: Outdoorfurniture company Sutherland has asked him to do ninelines so far. At the moment, Hunziker is working on homesin Austin, New Zealand, Laguna Beach and Cabo, as well asscouting for more furniture and materials resources.Though he pays little attention to trends, Hunziker is her-alded for contributing to the Pacific Northwest’s signatureorganic-plus-contemporary look, and in the future, weexpect him to continue to define and refine the best ofNorthwest interiors.

“The quality of work is so high-end—at the highestlevel throughout,” raves interior designer MaryikaByskiniewicz. —LINDSEY ROBERTS

EACH ITEM STRATEGICALLY PLACED, THE COLORS A COHESIVE PALETTE.


The founder of Suyama Peterson Deguchi Architects anda tireless advocate of public art, George Suyama does notmerely construct; he crafts. His work—often described asminimalist, transparent and contemporary—blurs theline between art and architecture.

Since founding George Suyama Architects in 1971, Su-yama has won numerous awards and accolades, includingthe American Institute of Architects 2009 Medal of Honor.With his business partners, Ric Peterson and Jay Deguchi,who joined the firm in 1983 and 2002, respectively, hefocuses on the future, not merely past successes. “I love thechallenge of a new project,” Suyama says. “Each one seemsto be the one you’re most excited about, which is natural.”

In 1998 Suyama embarked on another creative venture.With curator Beth Sellars, he founded Suyama Space as anonprofit gallery to inspire and educate through itsinstallations. It suggests Suyama’s vision of a mutually influential relationship between art and architecture.

Suyama is currently most excited about a sod-roof project,nestled in a creek bed, surrounded by cedar and fir trees—in an urban setting. This kind of innovation makes Suyamaone of the Northwest’s most iconic designers.

“He continues to invent. He is versatile,” panelist JenniferRandall says. “Suyama Space is really defining,” adds pan-elist Jane Weed. “[He] is an inspiration in design and hascontributed so much to the Northwest.” —JULIA CHANG

the visions for

her work come out

of the land itself.

Laden with awards from the United States, Britain andFrance, local landscape architect Kathryn Gustafson canhave her choice of projects. This freedom to do what sheloves is the best part of her job, she says. And the projectsshe chooses are as impressive as her talent and as grand inrange: the Rights of Man Square in Evry, France; a mile-long park in Singapore; a desert park in Abu Dhabi; andmultiple Seattle-area projects, including McCaw Hall andthe Seattle Civic Center. Appropriately, the visions for herwork come out of the land itself: “I call it the emergence ofthe soul of the site,” she says. “We try to make the essentialqualities—the essence—of the site emerge. These qualitiescan be natural, historical or cultural.”

Barbara Swift, a fellow landscape architect, callsGustafson’s visions extraordinary: “I absolutely adore thesort of very elegant, simple use of form and volume andher very profound use of materials antithetical to the usualsuperficial use of materials.”

Gustafson’s career has evolved over time, from the 1970s,when she designed clothes, to the ’80s, when she plannedparks in Paris. In the ’90s, she started winning serious awardsfor her work. Today, she thinks about sustainability andlandscaping for urbanites. “We are trying to find ways thatwe can live healthily, be in the city and be good stewardsto our environments,” she says. New ideas for Gustafsonmean new directions, and her latest notable project isdesigning the landscape for the Smithsonian NationalMuseum of African American History and Culture. —L.R.

CELEBRATING80 YEARS


Curtis Steiner is a living kaleidoscope of artistic talent,a true aesthete living in our utilitarian midst. He hasexplored new mediums and ideas in design since hewas a teenage entrepreneur designing greeting cards:In the 1980s, he designed fabric for Concord Textiles;in the mid-1990s, his hand-painted greeting cardswere sold at Neiman Marcus; in 1999, he openedSouvenir in Ballard, a shop curated like a gallery. In2008 he made a portrait out of chocolate truffles forFran’s Chocolates. His biggest artistic accomplishmentso far, however, might be his 2004 design of a set of1,000 identical black-and-beige blocks—each of thesix sides a different pattern—arranged to make 100composed images. The blocks are now a permanentexhibit at Seattle Art Museum. Steiner laments thatpeople can’t interact with today’s art, but viewers of1,000 Blocks are invited to make their own patterns.

“I like to encourage people to touch and feel, to expe-rience and move,” he says.

Souvenir itself is an art exhibit, from which customerscan take home a found object, greeting card or antique.Recently, Steiner has started thinking about calligraphic-inspired artwork.

“I love that Curtis is still a young man and has somuch yet to create,” Jane Weed says. “He is like a musi-cian who can play all instruments well or a linguistwho can speak in any tongue. The question is not whathe has done for the Seattle art scene, but rather howlong before the rest of the world discovers his gift.”—L.R.

“The Louis”


In this redesigned issue of Seattle Homes & Lifestyles, we celebrate both old and new. This year’s elegant

holiday home (page 44) on Mercer Island was decorated for the 2008 season by interior designer Susan

Marinello. A Clyde Hill home (page 50) demonstrates the beauty and enduring nature of a traditional

home but is actually new, designed by Stuart Silk Architects. Not surprisingly, color expert Leatrice

Eiseman’s Bainbridge Island garden (page 56) positively overflows with colorful blooms and foliage.

New ideas are the focus of our 2009 Home of the Year (page 60) as well as the winning entry of the

first Northwest Design Awards’ Publisher’s Choice Award (page 68). Whatever your style preference,

you’ll find plenty to love in this issue’s home and landscape designs.

HOME FOR

CHRISTMAS

WRITTEN BY ANGELA CABOTAJE PHOTOGRAPHS BY ALEX HAYDEN

WHEN DECORATING FOR THEHOLIDAYS, INTERIOR DESIGNERSUSAN MARINELLO KEEPS IN MINDTHE TRUE MEANING OF THESEASON. INSTEAD OF SANTA CLAUSIMAGES, SHE OPTS FOR FAMILYKEEPSAKES AND NATURE-INSPIREDDÉCOR. THE RESULT IS A SERENELYELEGANT HOME THAT’S PERFECTFOR GATHERINGS WITH CLOSEFRIENDS AND FAMILY.

AN INTERIOR DESIGNER MAKES DECORATING FOR THE HOLIDAYS A FAMILY AFFAIR


Not that decorating her own house is work for this successful interior

designer of high-end homes and commercial spaces. In fact, her Christmas

tradition might more accurately be called a relaxing labor of love.

Founded in 1996, her firm, Susan Marinello Interiors, is known for its

signature style: easy, understated elegance. The firm’s work has been

featured in local and national publications, including Traditional Home,

Renovation Style and Sunset. Recently, Marinello won Seattle Homes &

Lifestyles’ 2009 Kitchen of the Year contest for a timeless kitchen she

designed in northeast Seattle.

With her busy work schedule and active family life, the last thing

Marinello wants is for her holidays to become a production. “I never spend

more than two days decorating,” she says. “I want it to be simple.”

To keep things stress free, she doesn’t take any serious action until after

Thanksgiving. She spends the weeks before it in “brain thought,” mulling

over ideas and taking mental notes. Then right after the Thanksgiving

weekend, Marinello goes on a field trip for inspiration.

She stops at her favorite shops and garden stores, buying whatever

catches her eye before heading home to spread it all out on the living-

room table. From there, the Marinello women get busy cutting fir

boughs, holly and juniper from their garden and creating garland upon

garland of greenery.

While the décor varies from year to year, Marinello’s design theme is

always connected to the outdoors. “I work with anything that celebrates

our natural world: trees, snowflakes, stars,” Marinello says.

he Marinello family has a special Christmas tradition.Every year, Susan Marinello and her daughter, now 10, deck out their home for the holidays. They shop for the perfect ornaments, each decorates her own Christmas tree, and they make wreaths on thefront porch. The Marinello men—husband Dan and their teenage son—prefer to spend their time in front ofthe TV watching basketball. “They’re pretty content to let us do the work,” Marinello says with a laugh.

“THE FOUNDATION IS ALWAYS NATURAL GREENS,” MARINELLO SAYS OF HER DECORATING APPROACH. SHE DRAPED

A HOMEMADE GARLAND OVER THE FIREPLACE MANTEL AND PLACED WHITE LIGHTS IN THE SHRUBS OUTSIDE THE

LIVING-ROOM WINDOW, MIRRORING THE ILLUMINATED CHRISTMAS TREE INSIDE.

T

HOLIDAY DECORATING IDEASFROM SUSAN MARINELLOSCENTED NIGHT Create a lovely fragrance in yourhome to match the beautiful holiday décor. Ratherthan using scented candles, Marinello boils ciderwith cloves and cinnamon sticks. “It smells reallyfresh and wonderful.”

SILVER BALLS For a quick and easy centerpiece,Marinello suggests stacking 30 silver ball ornaments ina large glass bowl.

DECK THE HALLS Don’t overlook what’s in yourbackyard—literally. Marinello first heads toneighborhood nurseries (her local favorites are WellsMedina Nursery and Bellevue Nursery) and thenclips boughs and greenery from her own garden.With a little floral wire and ribbon, she makeswreaths and garlands.

LIGHT CHRISTMAS “You can never have enoughcandles,” Marinello says. For an ethereal glow, gather50–100 white tea lights and place them in clustersthroughout the home. “It makes such a difference.”

For 2008, birds played the starring role in a winter wonderland of soft white, silver

and green. In the living room, white dove ornaments perched on the frosted branches

of a Christmas tree. A garland-draped mantel displayed a row of antiqued vases, which

held white roses, sprigs of dusty miller and clusters of silver pinecones. Lush textures—

smooth satin ribbon and soft velvet—added the right amount of layered coziness.

More exotic friends took up residence in the family room, where peacock

ornaments with long feather plumes found a home in a 3-foot-tall Christmas tree.

In the dining room, Marinello set the table for the family’s formal Christmas dinner

with a holiday centerpiece of fir boughs and white blooms below a stunning

teardrop chandelier that conjures up images of icicles.

The view was equally impressive outside, where trees and hedges glowed, wrapped

in strings of white lights. Against the pure-white backdrop left by last December’s

snowstorm, the lights had an even more dramatic effect. “Snow makes it even more

beautiful because it reflects,” Marinello says. “It’s a really beautiful winter wonderland.”

For 2009, Marinello is making an abrupt change from last year’s understated

white theme.

“I’m taking my daughter’s advice, and we’re most likely going to do bright reds

and burnt oranges,” Marinello says. “She thought it was always too much of a white

Christmas and would say, ‘Mom, does it have to be white?’ So this year, she’s the

lead designer.”

Like mother, like daughter.

THE BURNETT HOME EXUDES TRADITION IN EVERY NOOK AND SWIRL OFFABRIC. ARCHITECT STUART SILK AND PROJECT ARCHITECT ANNE ADAMSEMBRACED CLASSIC LINES. LEAVE IT PURE, WITHOUT DILUTING ANDCONVOLUTING STYLES, SILK RECOMMENDS. “THIS IS QUIET, NOTRAMBUNCTIOUS, AND TIMELESS,” HE SAYS.


Still, there was no question they would eventually return to the

Northwest. Roots run deep here. A fourth-generation Seattleite, David

met Tricia when they both attended Seattle Pacific University. But after

returning in 1998, they learned that a DC-style home in this Washington

was hard to find.

The couple soon realized if they wanted this dream house, they’d

have to build it. In 2002, they bought a dated Clyde Hill rambler on

nearly an acre and rented it for two years before they demolished the

old place and launched construction.

Through referrals and word-of-mouth, the perfect design team evolved.

Explaining their vision to Seattle architect Stuart Silk was effortless, David

recalls. “We were rambling on, trying to describe our ideas when he

reached for a book.”

Silk had opened Creating a New Old House by Russell Versaci that

features a residence he designed. “Something like this?” he asked the

couple, paging through the photos in the book.

Exactly.

So Silk and project architect Anne Adams began to render a home

for David, Tricia and their three (now four) young children.

“We didn’t want anything trendy that would date the home,” David

says. They had no interest in loft-like “great rooms,” or spiral staircases

open two floors high. There’s no Zen water feature outside, but there is

a swing on a rope hanging from an old tree.

Home is tradition. This house, completed in 2006, is airy, fresh and

au courant based on timeless forms and principles. Silk and Adams

share a proclivity for beautiful pediments, moldings and the stately

bove a marble-topped antique buffet in David and Tricia Burnett’s entryway hangs a dramatic oil painting of theCapitol Building in Washington, DC. That vignette says a lot about this family. The buffet was placed there withcare and pride because it was handed down from David’s grandmother. And the painting speaks to an interestin American history, rekindled when the couple lived in Virginia while David attended law school. Living andworking on Thomas Jefferson’s turf went straight to their hearts—as did homes with Federal and Georgian bones.a

THE HOUSE “WITH COMFORT,

CLARITY AND ORGANIZATION,”

NOTES ARCHITECT ANNE ADAMS.


symmetry hallowed by traditional style. Elegance trumps pretension. “Formal”

is tamed to be livable, even with tots afoot. Spaces flow into each other off a

central hallway. “The symmetry of the floor plan orients you,” Adams explains.

“You intuitively know where to go. The house has clarity, stability.”

Interior designer Patricia Schlapp shared the new-old house mindset, using

textures and fabrics to give each room an aged patina. When Schlapp came on

board, Tricia had already purchased a dining table with tall chairs with a swirl of

celery and pink upholstery. The entry looks into this room so that’s the first thing

you see. The colors weren’t the easiest choice to work around, Tricia admits.

“Rather than carrying the pink into other rooms, I tied in soft corals,”

Schlapp recalls. A rug of coral, pink and neutrals anchors the living room and

provides a visual segue.

“Tricia and David wanted warm, comfortable sophistication, but it had to be

kid-proof and be able to survive large gatherings,” she says. “David has a big family.”

Consequently, fabrics aren’t too delicate or precious. The custom coffee

table has built-in drawers for crayons and books. Ottomans around the table

are kid-sized. By virtue of architectural grace and soft English floral drapes and

accents, rooms are refined, yet they hardily multitask.

Even though most furnishings are new, they don’t look matched. “We

wanted it to look like a collection of pieces gathered over time,” Tricia says.

With antiques and silver inherited from grandparents woven throughout, the

home is a gallery of all this family holds dear—traditions old and new.

Kathr¥n Renner writes about homes old and new for local and national publications from her home in Kirkland.

A leading color expert finds inspirationin her Bainbridge garden

WRITTEN BY KATHRYN RENNER PHOTOGRAPHS BY ANDREW DRAKE


“GARDENS GIVE US A BUFFER FROM OUR OTHER WORLDS,” SAYS COLOR EXPERT LEATRICE EISEMAN. HER

HOME WORLD IS DELIGHTFULLY BUFFERED BY VIVID ECHINACEA TIKI TORCH (OPPOSITE), AND—

CLOCKWISE FROM UPPER LEFT—A BEVY OF HYDRANGEAS, RED SPIRE POLYGONATUM, HEBE MCKEAN,

hen the phone rings at this Bainbridge Island

farmhouse, the caller could be a designer from Milan, Amsterdam or New

York. They ask for color consultant and specialist Leatrice Eiseman, author

of seven books on color and one of the top 10 business decision-makers,

as named by Fortune magazine.

Next year’s “it” color is forever on their minds. What shade will best influ-

ence, flatter and sell? The answer, Eiseman says, is complex—underpinned

by technology, politics and global and cultural drift. When the annual “it”

color is announced, it’s to full press hoopla—and as a consultant to the

über–color company Pantone, Eiseman is instrumental in that decision.

So going to see her garden, one can’t help but speculate: Will there be

a precise color wheel of annuals? Will there be plats of petals planted in

the current “it” color? (For 2009 it was Mimosa Pantone #14-0848.)

Not far from the ferry landing, on two and a half acres of pastoral

slopes and woodlands, sits a stylish red-with-white-trim house, inspired by

the angles and charm of a barn, and the home office of Eiseman Center

for Color Information and Training. When Eiseman and her husband, Herb,

moved here 12 years ago, only trees and the tentacles of pesky vines

reigned. With the help of Seabeck gardener Joy Hartley, a hearty berth of

primroses, white lobelia, coneflowers and tassel ferns now hugs the home’s

circumference. Colorful pots of coleus and geraniums—“polka dots of tex-

ture and color,” Eiseman calls them—line steps and border the sunroom.

A fence defends roses and the vegetable garden from insatiable deer.

As urbane as she is, Eiseman quickly quells a visitor’s fear of failing

Color 101 and puts her garden philosophy straight. “There are no rigid

rules in the garden,” she says. “You can’t improve on Mother Nature.”

So her garden remains delightfully blue-jeans-and-work-shirt casual—

a source of wonder, still, to the Eisemans since they relocated to the

Northwest in 1990 from Los Angeles, where Herb worked at Twentieth

Century Fox. “Not a hydrangea in sight there,” Leatrice rues of L.A. But here,

hydrangeas, Eiseman’s favorite flowering plant, look as indigenous to the

Bainbridge property as Noodles, the resident Labradoodle.

The Eisemans remain charmed by this garden zone and its wily micro-

climates. They can be mesmerized by flowers on racks outside Ace

Hardware as well as seedlings at fine nurseries. “We have a proclivity for

falling in love at the same time,” Eiseman says, recalling when she and

Herb first laid eyes on a red Japanese maple and had to bring it home. It’s

now full, thriving and visible from her office.

“There’s a different vantage point of the garden from every window,”

she says. Even among the shaded woodlands, contrasting yellow-green

leaves of Sun Goddess hydrangea or Himalayan honeysuckle offer natural

dioramas of layered color and texture.

Eiseman strolls the garden as if she’s walking among friends. This cut-

ting came from a neighbor’s garden, she says, and launches the tale. “That

prehistoric-looking hydrangea (H. aspera gigantica) was a spindly little

stick when we brought it home.” She is humbled by the hues; a color

expert knows that nothing competes with a rose or dahlia in full bloom.

She recently took a photo of her dahlias to a color-forecasting meeting in

Amsterdam. “For inspiration,” she avows.

Perhaps the world’s next “it” color will be rooted from the image of one

vivacious blossom, face pressed to the sun in a Bainbridge garden.

Seattle Homes & Lifestyles’ 2009 Home of the Year is a space-efficient

house atop Queen Anne hill that combines elements of contemporary

and traditional architecture to blend into an older urban neighborhood.

Architect Rik Adams, of Adams Mohler Ghillino Architects, designed the

residence to fit the lives and lifestyle of his clients, Lee and Jen Falck—

and their 2-year-old son, Samuel.

Lee first met Adams in 2002, when he and his business partner hired

Adams Mohler Ghillino to design their company’s furniture showroom

at Chicago’s Merchandise Mart for the NeoCon trade show. During the

design process for the project—which won the IIDA “Best in Show, New

Showroom” award at NeoCon in 2003—client and architect discovered

a shared approach to design and problem solving that grew into a

friendship. When Lee and his wife, Jen, were thinking about remodeling

their 1904 cottage in 2007, of course they called Adams.

The Falcks loved their neighborhood, but at just 810 square feet,

their single-story house wasn’t big enough for two—let alone three.

Initially Lee and Jen wanted to put an addition on the house, but con-

versations with Adams eventually led to the decision to rebuild.

“We spent hours and days and weeks thinking about how we use

the space,” Lee says of the design process. “It’s really about opening your

life up—how you live, what’s important to you—before thinking about

aesthetics.”

The result is a supremely flexible space. Private areas—three bed-

rooms, two baths and a media room—are on the second floor, while the

first floor is primarily one large volume that houses the living room, open

kitchen and dining room. A cedar-clad wall separates the living areas on

the south side of the home from the “service” areas—entry, powder room,

pantry and stairs—on the other. Slide-fold Nana Wall doors at the east

and west ends of the living space open up to the back courtyard and

front yard respectively, blurring the line between interior and exterior.

Across the courtyard is a new detached, multipurpose accessory

structure. The approximately 500-square-foot space includes a bath-

room and workshop, and will house relatives when they come to visit.

“The studio was expressly designed to be a true living space—or a

crazy place for a ton of kids,” Lee says.

“The flexibility of the space was really important,” Adams says,

explaining how the home was designed to be a series of indoor and

outdoor rooms.

Materials such as the black concrete floor and wood wall are “fairly

indestructible,” Lee notes. The design includes large, easily accessible

cabinets and a sculptural EcoSmart alcohol-burning fireplace built into

the living room cabinets. When not in use, the fireplace can be covered

with cushions for completely kid-safe extra seating.

“We can clean this place up in five minutes … it’s a Big Wheel track

during the day and an adult space in the evening,” Lee says. “We want

to play in every space, so the whole house is accessible and a part of

our child’s life”

A small patio off the front of the house becomes a porch when the

Falcks slide open the front wall of their living room. After Samuel goes

to bed, Lee and Jen can turn their chairs out to the street and join the

neighborhood conversation. Inside, they can pull down the privacy

shades, or opt for what Lee calls a “blanket-wrapped feeling” by drawing

the soft-gray sheer drapes. “The space can house a large party, but it

can be very intimate,” he says.

“We try to give clients as many options as possible,” Adams notes.

“The house is designed so they have a ton of control over how they

want to live in it. The openness of the house changes when the doors

are open or closed, when the curtains are open or closed and whether

it’s day or night.”

DURING CONSTRUCTION, neighbors and passersby often pressed

their noses against the front windows for a glimpse inside, and they

asked questions whenever the architect was around. Adams marvels at

one neighbor who told him, “Typically I don’t like modern architecture,

and I keep trying to figure out why I like this house so much.”

The reason might be the scale of the home. At just 1,900 square

feet, the two-story house doesn’t overpower the more traditional

homes nearby. Or it could be the shed-style roof, which echoes the

rooflines on neighboring houses.

“Blending into the neighborhood is intentional,” Adams says. “The

pitched roof and overhang make good sense in our climate and also fit

better in this neighborhood, and Hardiplank siding fits the beveled sid-

ing of other houses in the neighborhood.”

The Falcks themselves don’t see the house as “modern,” though

Lee allows that contemporary architecture lends itself more easily to

how they wanted to live in their house. “Our view of it is from the

inside,” he says. “We wanted to use natural materials, [but] if anything

our style was rooted in something older.” The Falcks think of the

house as traditional because of the materials they chose—natural

wood and stone, for example.

Sustainability was another value that the architect and homeowners

shared. “To make a meaningful difference, with respect to sustainability,

we have to move beyond whether one material is more sustainable than

another and talk about larger issues such as how big a house we really

need,” Adams notes. “A thoughtfully designed 2,000-square-foot house

can feel as spacious as a poorly designed 3,000-square-foot house.”

Because a previous owner of the original house had given it a new

foundation, they opted to build the new house on the old footprint.

They hired The Re-Store to do the demolition by hand, recycling as

much of the old materials as possible. Energy-efficient features in the

new home include gas-fired radiant heating throughout, as well as a

solar hot water system.

“We wanted to do all these things [to be sustainable], but we want-

ed it to be very beautiful—simple and elemental,” Lee says, and he and

Jen couldn’t be happier with the result. Seattle Homes & Lifestyles may

have chosen their house as Home of the Year, but Jen and Lee Falck see

it as the home of their lives.

meet the judges

Choosing our 2009 Home of the Year was no easytask. Once the entries were cataloged, we removedall identifying information and convened a panel ofjudges representing various aspects of the homedesign industry.

The criteria on which our judges scored eachentry included scale and proportion, color andcomposition, functional use of space, quality ofworkmanship, use of materials, originality andphotographic appeal. Despite this qualitativeapproach, we make no pretense of the contestbeing purely objective. After all, what makes aresidence worthy of the title “Home of the Year” isreally a hard-to-define “wow” factor.

Ultimately, the winning home was the one thatmet all of the contest rules, scored highest acrossthe board and most impressed our judges.

DESIGNAWARD

Every year, Seattle Design Center presents the Northwest Design Awards towinners in a competition that recognizes design excellence in 10 categories. This year, forthe first time, Seattle Homes & Lifest¥les presented the Publisher’s Choice Award to one ofthe first-place-winning projects that has never been published.

SH&L chose Tyler Engle Architects’ Mount Baker

courtyard project—the first-place winner in the

NWDA Outdoor category—for this award. We loved

its economy of space, privacy and functionality.

Robert McCroskey and Stanley Perryman ‘s strictly-

for-access backyard was “essentially a drainage ditch

off an alley” when they came to Engle for help. The

architect’s response was to approach the outdoor

space in the same way he does houses. “We planned

this yard with functional outdoor rooms and cohesive

circulation from the alley to the house,” Engle explains.

The new outdoor living space features a private

patio with a fireplace and room for dining and enter-

taining, as well as separate areas for a sunken stainless-

steel hot tub and an outdoor shower. New pathways

connect the house to the garage and alley and frame

the primary outdoor living and dining area. An archi-

tectural concrete wall offers privacy from the alley,

and a heavy timber trellis and wood fence provide

warmth and scale. A jog in the concrete wall provides

an additional parking space off the alley.

The clients asked for a modern space but wanted

it to relate to their 1909 house. Engle married old and

new by covering the wall that conceals the outdoor

shower in siding to match the house and repeated

the cedar trellis from the alley wall along the garage

next to the house to provide shade for the kitchen.

“Our desire for this courtyard was to create a

modern sense of introspection that seamlessly coexists

with the original house and existing neighborhood,”

Engle says.

We think he succeeded admirably. It is refreshing to

see an outdoor living space truly designed for living—

isn’t that the point of beautiful home design?

BEFORE& AFTER

❯❯ The Challenge: When Jeff and Teresa Santerre

purchased their home in 1986, the outdoor shelter in

the backyard (right) was little more than a corrugated

fiberglass shed roof supported by nearly collapsing

steel pipes over a large stone hearth. “It didn’t go with

the house, and it wasn’t very inviting,” Teresa recalls.

right, top to bottom: A GLOWING FIRE

MAKES ANY EVENT SPECIAL; THE

CARVED DAGGER MOTIF APPEARS

THROUGHOUT THE HOME’S

EXTERIOR.

The Solution: To turn the shelter into a comfortable spot

for relaxing or hosting special events, the Santerres, who

own Prestige Custom Builders, redesigned the roof and

support columns. Inspired by picnic shelters in nearby

Seward Park, Jeff designed a traditional gable roof and

expanded the interior space. For continuity between the

1906 Dutch colonial home and the outdoor living space,

Jeff created two new support columns for the shelter

that match the house’s original front-porch columns. He

even included the dagger-with-a-drop-of-blood shape,

which echoes the motif on porch columns and wrought-

iron railings. The river rock used to extend the outdoor

fireplace chimney was added elsewhere around the

home’s exterior to further connect the structures. By

using similar materials in the house and shelter, the

Santerres created an outdoor living space that is an

extension of their home. Welcoming and spacious, the

structure is perfect for cigars around a crackling winter

fire or a spring dinner for as many as 18. “It’s wonderful

to gather people and create memories,” Teresa says. “It’s

my favorite place on the property.”

THIS 3,500-SQUARE-FOOT HOUSE, designed by architect Tom Lenchek of Balance Associates

(80 Vine St., Ste. 201, 206-322-7737, balanceassociates.com), is protected from the bright sun and

the Methow Valley’s strong winds, but it also makes the best of them. With a module design and

effective insulation, the home is both heated and cooled by the elements.

An architect devoted to energy efficiency since 1980, Lenchek designs homes that answer his

clients’ desires for environmental responsibility and architectural sophistication. “The most important

elements of efficiency are proper home siting and insulation,” he says.

Lenchek designed this Methow Valley house in four parts, orienting each section to a different

solar exposure and maximizing the wind as ventilation. The kitchen-and-dining wing faces south-

west, toward the Sawtooth Range. The living module, which includes a large screened porch for

insect-free summer relaxing, faces west and is vented by winds from the northwest. The sleeping

module faces north, and the garage, which includes a guest suite, faces northeast. Insulated

concrete form (ICF) walls provide an increased thermal mass, which reduces inside temperature

fluctuation. The large thermal mass combined with exterior sun screens eliminates the need for air

conditioning.

Inside the house, the architect and interior designer Jennifer Randall of Jennifer Randall &

Associates (1100 E. Union St., Ste. 1B, 206-323-1520, jradesigns.com) incorporated reclaimed Douglas

fir on the exposed cathedral ceilings, interior trim and cabinet doors. Low-VOC paint reduces

energy use by decreasing the need for ventilation, and low-flow water fixtures help to conserve

water (drawn from an on-site well). Native plants such as bluebunch wheatgrass, aspen and

sumac make up the drought-tolerant landscaping—a necessity in this region that gets only 10–15

inches of annual precipitation, much of it as snow.

Demonstrating the best of 21st-century efficiency, this home exists in balance with its environ-

ment in all seasons—in looks, comfort and energy use.
