Home of the Week: An Angular Abode on the Medina Waterfront
Architect Wendell Lovett designed this home to have virtually no right angles
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.
Dock your water baby here.
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

Can Alaska Kelp Help Washington Crops Beat the Heat?
A Ketchikan company is working with WSU researchers to see whether its kelp-based biostimulant can help grapes and berries withstand environmental stress.
From the floatplane, reddish-brown kelp traces the edges of the small islands between Ketchikan and Prince of Wales Island like brushstrokes on the surface of the water. Up close, on a rare 70-degree July day in Alaska, the kelp is glossy and beautiful, though the wind coming off the water makes it nearly impossible to…
PlantCon Is Coming for Seattle’s Windowsills
The nation’s largest gathering for houseplant lovers makes its Pacific Northwest debut this August with 200 booths, hands-on workshops, and a DJ.
My house is full of plants, enough that I’ve lost count. Houseplants have the same suspicious math as tattoos: One is rarely the final number. I propagate cuttings in jars of water, regularly rearrange corners of the house in pursuit of better light, and like to imagine the entire collection is improving the air. That…
Noir Lux Lights Up Fourth Avenue
The Seattle candle brand’s new two-level pop-up brings workshops and community gatherings downtown through September.

Better Together: This Take on Co-Housing Emphasizes Quality and Community
The Seattle project presents an out-of-the-box model, where investors are also residents, and the design focuses on longevity and tenant retention—not profit.
Growing up in rural Detroit, Chad Dale spent many after-school and weekend hours playing with neighborhood kids in an open lot near his house. It’s an experience he always hoped his children would have someday, but by the time he became a father in Seattle, land was at a premium: either already developed or prohibitively…
