MERCER ISLAND
This waterfront home reflects our client’s attitude about life; “live life to the fullest with their children”. Built on the shores of Lake Washington this shingle style home represents an informal elegance to living. Attention was paid to “east coast” styling and detailing of turn of the century shingle style homes designed by such Architects as McKim Mead and White. When the owners asked the Architects for an exterior color; of course we said “black”. With much hesitation (but lots of trust in our decision making abilities) the shingles were painted black with white trim at the windows and rails. To make a long story short, it was a complete success!!
