The annual solar cycle nears its completion as do several Warmmodern Living projects, varied in site – from breathtaking shorelines to rugged woods, and varied in size - from 1000 to 4000 square feet.
All are the products of collaborations with wonderful clients of varied persuasions and ages, who welcomed me into their lives and shared their personal aspirations as we wove the details of their daily lives into their Lindal designs. Each trusted me with long-held visions, and without exception their finished homes exceed their expectations.
A varied group of clients and projects. all sharing the same goals:
Enabling the communal and ensuring the private
A home where every member of a maturing family will feel forever welcome, sharing holidays and weekends together but still enabling private timeAn evolving nest
A home planned with forethought and flexibility to support each family member’s changing needs in the near and distant futureRespecting and connecting with the natural environment
A home designed to reduce energy consumption and built of sustainable materials. A home in which the daily and seasonal passage of time create an ever-changing interior ambience
The 2019 Warmmodern Living houses shown here will be featured in-depth in upcoming posts, and upcoming projects ensure that 2020 will be full of interesting and innovative work:
A cabin on a private island in Puget Sound, surrounded by a vast salt marsh with all domestic water provided by a catchment system that collects and purifies rainwater from the roof and photovoltaics to generate electricity from the sun
A family home in suburban Seattle, built on a precipitously steep site where the roof will be the homeowners' yard
A summer retreat on the East End of Long Island on a building site where setbacks and wetlands restrict building to an 1800 square foot triangle
As we take a break from our usual daily lives to enjoy the holidays with family, I must extend my deepest thanks to my extraordinary clients, their builders and my colleagues at Lindal Cedar Homes. I look forward to meeting many of you receiving this and exploring your options for building and the opportunity for new collaborations with new friends.
Wishing you all a joyful and healthy New Year!
Michael Harris
