Badger Mountain Home by Initial Lamp Architecture Development

Set on the foot of Badger Mountain in Richland, Washington, this gorgeous contemporary house by Seattle-based mostly First Lamp  draws its design influence from both the all-natural landscape and the clean lines of conventional Japanese architecture. Whilst the project’s main purpose is to response the developing family’s require for added space, efforts to capture the sweeping views of the Columbia River and connect to the surrounding landscape give this house its shape and orientation. The significant spaces are aligned in a straightforward program that is organized perpendicular to the slope of the hillside, minimizing site impact and maximizing views to the north. The south-dealing with side of the home opens to an outdoor pool and observation area that delivers views of the Peak of Badger Mountain.

In true Brady Bunch design the need for the home was born out of 2 families coming together doubling the volume of folks in the residence including a Father with 2 sons and a Wife with 2 Daughters. The initial attempted to locate a local architect that could layout a modern house in Richland Washington, but soon found they required to travel 200 miles to Seattle to discover the proper designers.

Design and style attributes contain exposed concrete walls on the base degree of the residence, normal cedar moving from exterior to interior blurring the lines among outside and indoors, aluminum solar screens, Garage Door for guest/celebration area that opens up to the cabana, Ventless open fireplace in the middle of the great space, customized exposed steel stair in family space, custom steel and glass barn doors in Master Bedroom and large cantilevered entry canopy. Several sustainable aspects the place utilized which includes Rigid Board insulation on the outdoors of the sheathing to get a higher R-Value in the exterior walls and reduce thermal bridging, Super insulated Fiberglass windows and doors, Radiant Heated flooring and LED lighting.

I enjoy the master bedroom and the glass sliding doors to the master bedroom – precisely what I want for my dream house!
