Architecture firm HELIOTROPE have designed this home in Seattle, Washington for a couple, an artist and an engineer, that wanted a contemporary style, but not out of place with the rest of the Capitol Hill neighborhood, lots of natural light, an interior with an art-gallery-feel and a separate guest wing.

The home, built by Dovetail, is clad in stained cedar, and includes a variety of custom features throughout, like the wood framed windows, while the flooring is a combination of polished concrete, tile, and myrtle wood.

Just off to the side of the living room is bright art studio with cathedral ceilings, that sits half a level below the main floor of the home to provide separation in the space.

Touches of artwork are scattered throughout the home, adding a pop of color to the white walls.

In the bathroom, custom cabinets and the Japanese soaking tub have both been made using Western Red cedar. Pastel green tiles and frosted glass give the bathroom a relaxed feeling.
