The Nuler-Cudahy Residence in Seattle, Washington by David Coleman Architecture Posted: 08 Jun 2011 01:13 AM PDT A modern residence which is called Nuler-Cudahy residence which is constructed in Seattle, Washington is completed designed by the David Coleman Architecture. This partial tear – down and reconstruction of of a 1950's home. The architect design for this project is challenges the conventions of the northwest modernism. This modern house to explore opportunities open to the resulting freedom from traditional design imperatives resulted in a more expressive domestic environment and greater utilization of site opportunities. The "bones" of the original mid-century modern building were preserved to reduce construction cost and environmental waste, overhangs were minimized to allow the free flow of light and view, wood beams and other stylistic conventions were dropped in favor of taught finishes and clean surfaces, and geometric forms were inserted to enliven the interior spaces and create formal unity. Interior spaces reflect the dynamic juxtaposition of the penthouse suite. The curved wall acts as a linking device, adding drama to the adjacent rooms. The fireplace core delineates the various room functions on all three levels. The street façade is scaled low, like the original building, providing a "perch" for the new penthouse and a glimpse of its long, curved wall. The west façade, facing the dominant views, is tall, robust and bold, addressing the scale of the natural landscape and opening the house to dynamic views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains.
