Since it was built in 1958, Lark House has reinforced the modernist achievements of architect Al Bumgardner across Seattle. Admiring the original design philosophy, SHED Architecture & Design renovates the home with care, adapting it for contemporary living.
Perched atop a cliff in West Seattle, Lark House provides sweeping views of Vashon Island, the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound. Such vistas were highly considered during the renovation process; the design brief presented the modernised Lark House as more open, functional and engaged with the picturesque surrounds. Additionally, the home captures a natural material palette that echoes the original design ethos while expressing personal taste. Curated art and furnishings, inspired by the owners’ experiences abroad, enliven the interior.
