EDMONDS OVERLOOK

Located just north of Seattle within Edmonds city limits, EDMONDS OVERLOOK is a single-family residence positioned within a wooded parcel on a high seaside bluff. The brief called for preserving the existing forest glade and its views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, while accommodating neighborhood development. CAST architecture arranged the house as two distinct wings positioned at the site’s perimeter, framing a central meadow left unbuilt to serve as a natural focal point. A covered bridge with a green roof connects the garage and office wing upslope to the primary residence, and a gentle stair links arrival to the clearing. Interior spaces are oriented to maximize outlooks onto the landscape and surrounding mature trees. The plan is compact and organized around the family’s routines, with rooms dimensioned precisely for their intended use. A double-height corner with floor-to-ceiling glazing shapes the dining room and opens to a covered patio suitable for outdoor cooking and dining throughout the year. Interiors feature clear-finished fir wall surfaces, white oak cabinetry, and black soapstone counters. Custom woodwork by the owner’s father appears throughout the library loft and at the steel fireplace surround, further personalizing the house. The upper floor includes the primary suite with elevated views.
