The Perch House / Chadbourne + Doss Architects

The Owner’s design brief asked for an adventurous sanctuary inspired by the forest, sea, and skies of the Salish Sea. Additionally, they wanted a house that would age well, support their active lifestyle, and adapt as they age. Occupying an urban corner lot in Seattle’s Queen Anne hill, the 5,500 square foot home opens to expansive west views of the sea and the Olympic Mountains while encircling a courtyard that encapsulates an idealized atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest.
