73rd Street Penthouse _

“The attention to detail on this triplex penthouse is unusually high -even by our standards- thanks to a successful collaboration with a client interested in unique solutions without compromise. This meant traveling with Wayne to a remote quarry in the Swiss alps to hand pick the stone for the double-height wall around the 15-foot-wide fireplace. It meant creating a seamless walk-in soaking tub within an all glass room, made alternately opaque for privacy or perfectly clear at the flip of a switch. And it meant a soaring, meandering triple-height stair with laser-cut steel supports and translucent resin treads, cantilevering in places like stiff diving boards and bridging at higher levels, casting warm, orange-tinted shadows through the halls. We’re very excited to have completed this exceptionally challenging design, which richly rewards the owner’s high expectations.” [turettarch.com]

Washington Park Residence by Sullivan Conrad Architects _1

“This Washington Park Residence sits on a bluff overlooking Lake Washington and the Cascades. The design takes advantage of the site by capturing broad, unobstructed views while preserving privacy.  The design explores the contrast between mass and transparency with thick, thermally insulated concrete walls forming the major portions of the street facade. The walls are layered and modulated to provide carefully framed views from west facing rooms, add depth and shadow to the facade, and orchestrate the entry sequence through the courtyard to the front door.   Upon entry, the transparency of the east side of the house is revealed.  A reflecting pool at the east side of the terrace eliminates the need for a railing and merges visually with the waters of Lake Washington 80′ below.” – [sullivanconard.com]
