Humble Abode of the Day...

Cutler Anderson Architects designed a splendiferous home outside of Seattle that has me in awe.  Aside from the flawless joinery and woodwork throughout, the well thought out plan and open living spaces looking out to the greenspace, what I adore most is that it reminds me of Carlos Scarpa.  The idea of putting emphasis onto a material or element by visually separating it from another is something I am always fond of.  The separation begins to show in more ways than one the construction and bones of what makes up the whole.  Carlos Scarpa was able to achieve that almost effortlessly...I put some of his stuff at the bottom.
