Two concrete walls enclose the Dorsey Residence single-family house. Only few windows open towards the street. But behind the concrete walls, one encounters something entirely different: a bright home made of wood and glass.
Panorama Design
The two-storied dwelling house by Coates Design Architects consists of a slightly twisted cube between two powerful walls. The view from the premises at the surrounding landscape is optimally staged by this twist. Both concrete walls shield the building like a barrier from the street behind them, and function as a thermal mass.
The building is situated on Bainbridge Island in the northwest of the US state of Washington. The island is also a town with 20.000 citizens – known for its 150 kilometres long branched Puget Sound. The property of the Dorsey Residence offers a view at the coastline and the Olympic Mountains.
The architects wanted to stage the view at nature individually in every individual room. Therefore, the southwest façade consists of a combination of several windows that reflect the residential premises behind. Special attention was paid to the living room: from there, the residents may access the large balcony. A lot of glass is supposed to create a strong connection between inside and outside.
Since only a small part of the plot of land was permitted for building, the architects maximized the options by a room arrangement on two floors. This, however, fitted into the concept of a dwelling house with a good outlook.
Completion: october 2011
