Magnolia House
2515, 30th Avenue West, Seattle, WA, United States
The design of this infill project in a dense neighborhood
near transit and amenities funnels the attention to the views and its favorable
western exposure, yet providing a great sense of privacy.
The design process begins with a thoughtful approach to
the project site. Existing conditions play a role in defining the shape,
presence and configuration of the new architecture, translating specific
attributes of the site and its surroundings into assets and localizing the
modern aesthetic.
The outdoor spaces are programmed as carefully as the
interior, taking full advantage of the indoor/outdoor relationship and extending
the living space. The slope of the site allowed for a main floor terrace over
the garage. The design allows for seamless inside/outside living, with the main
day to day functions concentrated toward the western exposure and view. A
receptacle of southern sun and heat, the second floor deck is accessible from
both public and private spaces.
The project relied on a number of green design strategies
to minimize life-cycle costs and reduce its construction impact. Abundant southern glazing and a generous
overhang allow for passive solar heating. Closing water cycles and controlling
storm water pollutants were central goals of the project that exceeds local
requirements for on-site treatment and dispersion of rainwater. The roof water
is diverted to a bioretention cell (rain garden) where it is gradually absorbed,
and an overflow pipe prevents flooding.
