from SHED Architecture & Design: “Landscape details in the yard above the Queen Anne Subterranean DADU.
The insertion of a new subterranean garage with a rental flat above necessitated a backyard redesign. This allowed the clients to make new connections from within the historic house to the outdoors. Inspired by their love of curves and openness to historic and modern elements in dialogue, we designed a new living room deck for taking in the view and outdoor lounging. A spiral stair connects the deck to an existing terrace. Curved concrete walls enclose an outdoor dining area, hot tub, and sun deck that overlook the DADU’s green roof and the Puget Sound beyond. With a palette of painted steel, stainless steel mesh, lunawood, and concrete, curves are used to make space, guide circulation, and feel good in the user’s hand. Expertly built by the craftspeople Lockhart|Suver and Cooks Welding Services. Now we await the plants!”
