The CLT House is a modest, 1,500 sf single-family house for a family of four, including a writer/historian and architect in Madison Park. Situated on a small, 2,500 sf triangular lot across from an alley and rear bank parking lot, the house negotiates between the settled, established neighborhood and the commercial strip off of Madison Ave. The materiality of the house and the interior experiences recall the ubiquitous small northwest beach cabins, as well as the specifics of the site itself – once a beach itself, under 9’ of water, in 1916, before the Lake Washington water levels were lowered by 9’ with the building of the Ship Canal out to Elliott Bay. The CLT House will be built to PassivHaus standards, and will be revealed to the interior domestic spaces. Left almost raw, with a light whitewash, the CLT is experienced as a beach cabin - a raw, visceral natural experience of nature. The white pine knots are exposed, interior trim is kept to a minimum, utilities are hidden in a central service core. Experimenting with this new tectonic, the CLT panels are routed using standard CNC technology, and vaulted to create visceral experiences of light and space. Currently under construction by Cascade Built, the house is designed by atelierjones with structural engineering by Harriott/Valentine. It is scheduled for completion in June 2015.
