Jim Olson, architect, designed the One Carillon Condominium building with two 5600+ square feet luxury homes currently offered for sale. Located on the Kirkland, Washington waterfront, the building combines an industrial standard with organic sensibility typical of his work.
Unit 1A on the ground floor boasts interiors defined by bronze and faceted glass ceilings as well as lush and expansive gardens with water features. This three bedroom, two and a half bathroom home with theater room and gym, enjoys Mr. Olson’s notable aesthetic of sleek structure framing dramatic outdoor vistas.
Interior designer Terry Hunziker, recognized for his simplicity of form, use of horizontal lines and neutral palettes, has created a calming yet dynamic ambiance in Unit 3B. This southwest facing home boasts four bedrooms, den and three and one half baths. Expanding to a wrap around deck with kitchen, it combines contemporary design with warm, comfortable spaces, celebrating the relationship of outside to inside.
The Studio House stands as a breakthrough project for master architect Tom Kundig. Intentionally rustic materials contrast with carefully edited spaces, adhering to a disciplined, modernist line. Strict massing and meticulous sighting contrast with playful interactive mechanical systems, while opulent spaces are made simple with the most austere fixtures. Structure connects the indoors with nature through walls of glass, and light is treated as the final building material in this living sculpture.
This Four Seasons Private Residence offers stylistically integrated spaces created by internationally acclaimed Interior Designer Terry Hunziker. Timeless stone, wood, and custom cabinetry complete this stunning in-city masterpiece.
Custom designed by Jim Olson of Olson Kundig Architects, this home is truly is a work of art, right down to every thoughtfully crafted modern detail. Clean design and serene tranquil interiors create an elegant sanctuary to pause and refresh from the frenetic pace of life. Jim Olson designed this home with the owner’s art collection in mind. Art niche walls composed of elegant Anigre wood subtly separate the living and dining room from the kitchen and family room.
Dramatic spaces illuminated by skylights and walls of glass evoke the height of International Style, while a simple, dark material palette of raw steel, hardwood and crisp white walls provides a unified backdrop in this stunning remodel of an existing house in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
