Coates Design have completed the Dorsey Residence located on Bainbridge Island in Washington State. The home was designed to maximize its footprint through strategic use of vertical space.
The design incorporates two strikingly different façades, depending on if you are viewing from the street or the back. A description from Coates Design, “From the outside, the home is an anonymous, austere, monumental concrete façade anchored deep into the hillside on a waterfront property. Much of the home is hidden behind the two-story concrete face. Upon entering, an entirely different experience is revealed on the inside: warm, light, and open.”
