Architecture + interior architecture by Levy Art + Architecture

As you approach this home, the façade that appears to be solid is revealed as a series of layers. A combed stone outer cladding gives way to a smooth plaster layer that, in turn, sits atop a shear layer of windows and taught corner glass. The space of the home is similar. A slow reveal is based on an up-and-over movement across the site, and there’s an idea of two structures, front and back. Entering at the ground level, you ascend two broad steps to a central platform. This “space between” houses the central stair. The stair accesses a reverse plan: entry and gymnasium below, bedrooms between, living spaces atop. It’s capped by a roof deck. Materials define interior spaces. Maple slats and brass clad walls work together to define the central space, filter and reflect light.

Each side of the structure has its own character and its own view. The front faces east, which is defined by morning light and downtown views through mitered corner windows. The back faces west, where the sunset and Twin Peaks are viewed through operable glass walls that expand the floor area for indoor-outdoor functions. These two sides are joined by a central spine, and reveal themselves through time.

Special thank you to the GRAY x MA+DS Interior Design Tour for featuring us on the tour.
