Queen Anne Minimalist
Sheri Olson Architecture, PLLC — Seattle
Queen Anne Minimalist is a 2,500-square-foot residence in Seattle designed by Sheri Olson Architecture, PLLC. Conceived for a family seeking a close connection to nature, the house features large windows and outdoor rooms that extend the living areas and draw in Seattle's diffuse light. The narrow floor plan and compact rectangular massing reduce the building envelope, preserving ample space on the site for plantings. Transitions between indoors and outdoors are articulated by decks and generous steps. Sliding doors in the dining area open to merge it with the front porch, while recessed tracks allow for privacy with sheer drapes. Circulation is arranged across two stories, with experiences shifting as occupants descend two steps into the living room, continue to a partially covered deck, and step further down to the lawn. Artistic and musical interests are prioritized in the layout, with spaces designed to keep books, art, and instruments accessible and visible.
