Badger Mountain Residence by Initial Lamp Architecture Development

Set on the foot of Badger Mountain in Richland, Washington, this lovely contemporary property by Seattle-based 1st Lamp  draws its design influence from both the normal landscape and the clean lines of classic Japanese architecture. Even though the project’s main purpose is to answer the growing family’s require for further space, efforts to capture the sweeping views of the Columbia River and connect to the surrounding landscape give this house its form and orientation. The key spaces are aligned in a easy program that is organized perpendicular to the slope of the hillside, minimizing web site influence and maximizing views to the north. The south-dealing with side of the house opens to an outdoor pool and observation region that gives views of the Peak of Badger Mountain.

In accurate Brady Bunch design the need for the house was born out of 2 households coming with each other doubling the amount of folks in the property like a Father with 2 sons and a Wife with 2 Daughters. The very first attempted to find a neighborhood architect that could design a modern home in Richland Washington, but quickly found they required to travel 200 miles to Seattle to find the proper designers.

Design and style characteristics incorporate exposed concrete walls on the base degree of the home, natural cedar moving from exterior to interior blurring the lines in between outdoors and indoors, aluminum solar screens, Garage Door for guest/party space that opens up to the cabana, Ventless open fireplace in the middle of the wonderful space, custom exposed steel stair in household space, customized steel and glass barn doors in Master Bedroom and massive cantilevered entry canopy. Several sustainable components in which utilized such as Rigid Board insulation on the outdoors of the sheathing to get a higher R-Worth in the exterior walls and lessen thermal bridging, Super insulated Fiberglass windows and doors, Radiant Heated flooring and LED lighting.

I adore the master bedroom and the glass sliding doors to the master bedroom – exactly what I want for my dream home!
