PAVILION STYLE, PRACTICAL EASE
Lake Sammamish
Architect: Brian Brand of Baylis Architects
Builder: Steve Cartan
Construction cost/size: $649,000/2,400 square-foot main house, 500 square-foot detached studio; one bedroom, two baths
The intent: Deena Loveland gave Brand a very unusual request for her home: "I wanted to make it sustainable so I could take down and put up walls and there would be no maintenance." She also wanted Brand to incorporate the newest technology. The result is an open, airy pavilion of a home that has no interior load-bearing walls. Plus its exterior walls are made of a recycled plastic-and-concrete form system finished inside and out with stucco. The home has but one bedroom, two baths. However, it's designed to easily add two more bedrooms — and even a loft — within existing space. Among the low-maintenance finishes are a metal roof and heated concrete floors. Sited on an acre high above Lake Sammamish, both the home and detached studio enjoy lake views.
