Home of the Week: An Angular Abode on the Medina Waterfront
Architect Wendell Lovett designed this home to have virtually no right angles
By Lauren Mang September 16, 2014

Each week, we’ll be featuring one Seattle-area home that we think is interesting, inspiring or just a downright feast for the eyes. Some of them, like the angular beauty spotlighted today, are actually on the market, while other homes will offer enviable style tips–courtesy of their ingenious owners–that you can steal for your own abode. Let’s dive into this week’s home, shall we?
Seattle architect Wendell Lovett, known for designing the former Microsoft exec Charles Simonyi’s thoroughly modern manse, Villa Simonyi, fashioned this more than 6,900-square-foot gem along the Medina waterfront in 1995. (Note the similaries between the two.) The home’s structure has almost zero right angles, and its grande windows capture the incredible water views from the living room, bedroom, dining room and beyond.
Who needs a TV when you’ve got this view?
More great views from the open office
Have a boat? There’s space for that, too. The bold homestead has its own dock–specially designed so the fish and sealife below aren’t denied sunlight–and slip for a vessel. All this will fetch you $8.3 million. Interested in making an offer? Looks like the two-story home has been on the market for about 445 days, so the odds are ever in your favor.

The bedroom has its own terrace with (obviously) great views
We love these very modern, angular stairs and walkways
Your home also comes with kick-ass grounds, on which to romp, frolik and entertain family and friends
