Conard Romano Architects

Completed Projects: Engawa House, Seattle WA

Engawa House is set on the shores of Lake Washington with southerly views across the lake to Mount Rainier. The form of Engawa House consists of a series of horizontal roofs, layered one on top of another. The primary structure of the house is timber-framed in hemlock. Natural light is an important organizational theme of the design. A central volume of space, topped by a clerestory, introduces daylight into the center of the house. The design evokes the spirit of "engawa" in the Japanese house: the sun-filled edge of dwelling that connects house to garden; inside to outside; form to spirit.
