The Lake Union Floating Home by Vandeventer + Carlander Architects follows in Seattle’s long-standing tradition of homes on the water – literally. This contemporary 29-by-37-ft. floating home is set in a prime location, with fabulous views of downtown Seattle to the south, Queen Anne Hill to the west, Gas Works Park to the north and Lake Union directly beneath it. The home’s unconventional location is complemented by an equally unconventional yet totally luxurious interior layout that places “private” spaces – the bedrooms and baths – on the main level enveloped in large store-front windows; while the home’s “public spaces” – living and dining areas and a powder room – are housed on the upper level. Follow the elaborate spiral staircase up to the top level, where you’ll find outdoor living spaces incorporated into the design, maximizing on the spectacular surroundings – an open kitchen, spacious north and- and south-facing terraces, and a rooftop deck.
