Inspirations

The residence spans approximately 3846 Sq. ft. , thoughtfully planned to maximize space efficiency while maintaining an open, fluid layout that embraces curved design elements.
This future-forward home blends contemporary luxury with eco-conscious living.

Key highlights include two meditation spaces, a rooftop garden, and curved interior architecture, creating a serene yet innovative retreat that prioritizes health, comfort, and sustainability.
The exterior design combines modern aesthetics with durable, sustainable materials suited to Seattle’s weather.
