Architecture
Instant Gratification
eap the rewards of a lengthy, meticulous design, permitting and building process without the wait or worry. Designed and built to take advantage of one of Seattle’s highest elevations in a rapidly transforming transit hub, the Case Study House is an urban architectural success story that took years to create. Now it’s yours to own.
Design that Improves Lives
Mammoth south-oriented glass doors and windows, fitted with mechanized solar shades, maximize daylight and frame city vistas and mountain views. Cleverly placed east and west windows comfortably regulate interior temperatures. Effortless access via movable window walls to terraces and decks on every level assures seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Warm, Durable and Timeless Finishes
Cabinetry and flooring of durable rift-sawn white oak. Textural whitewashed clear cedar ceiling in the master bedroom echoing the integrated cedar assembled at entry points. Custom ambient lighting by Gray Pants™ complemented by abundant recessed and intentional task lighting. Panelized aluminum siding alternating with pre-stained clear cedar to create pleasing geometries in the durable rainscreen exterior envelope. No detail too small, all handpicked and hand-formed to the designers’ exacting specifications for years of carefree ownership.
Flat, Grassy Backyard Worthy of David Hockney
For barbecues or cocktails, badminton or croquet, a verdant arena unfolds below, with architectural seating designed to accommodate friends and neighbors, spectators and merrymakers. At night, the airy glass and corrugated-steel studio glows like an outsize lantern.
Architecture with a Pedigree
Between 1945 and 1966 Art & Architecture magazine sponsored the design of a series of modernist houses by well-known architects and designers. Only a handful of these still stand (mostly in the Los Angeles area), attracting acclaim as icons of midcentury modernism. Build LLC’s Case Study House belongs in this avant-garde architectural tradition – a classic in the making, yet possible to own.

ROOSEVELT DISTRICT
Yesterday’s Old-Growth Parks Steps from Tomorrow’s Transit System.
Roosevelt District
Anticipating the opening of the Roosevelt Light Rail station within 2 years, Redfin™ named Seattle’s Roosevelt District one of the nation’s hottest neighborhoods (alongside Eastwood in Nashville, Hyde Park in Austin, and Mount Pleasant in Washington DC). Distinguished by Washington State’s highest-rated schools, convenient access to Seattle’s best transportation options, proximity to restaurants, cafes, groceries and all major services, as well as the city’s most luxuriant green spaces, Roosevelt is poised to become the West Coast’s next urban mecca.
Here you’ll be able to stroll the shaded, meditative sanctuary of Ravenna Park (once known as Big Tree Park), admiring old-growth maples, redwoods, Douglas firs, alders, cedars, willows and giant fern, or jog the 2.8-mile loop around picturesque Green Lake, before hopping on the Light Rail to Sea-Tac Airport and destinations worldwide, for work or pleasure. By car you can easily zip on to I-5 and the scenic 520 floating bridge for quick access to Microsoft and other major Eastside employers in Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond. For a hassle-free commute to downtown Seattle, glide down I-5’s express lanes.
Or enjoy the flexibility of three separate work-from-home environments within the Case Study House to finesse your invention or launch your start-up. Gourmet markets, cafes and eateries dot the pleasant, Craftsman-lined streets (the foil and backdrop for the stylistically distinctive Case Study House). Nearby conveniences include Whole Foods Market and Safeway Groceries, one block away and open 24 hours.
Green Lake Elementary and Eckstein Middle School, both within a one-mile radius of the Case Study House, and Roosevelt High School, a mere five-minute walk away, consistently top lists of the region’s best public schools, making the Case Study House the ideal base for raising Seattle’s next generation.
