Written by Lee King

If you love contemporary design combined with classic comfort, you’ll love the Brook Bay Residence By SKL Architects ($NFS). The home is located on a hillside on Mercer Island in Washington. It’s two story’s showcases work by local craftsman, reflected in both design and choice of materials like blackened steel, wood, and concrete. The home is about 4,200 square feet and features upper-level sleeping and living areas, with supporting spaces on the lower level to take advantage of views toward Lake Washington and Seward Park.
