Designed for a couple with a grown family, Tansu House is named for the transformative qualities that make it both a private retreat as well as a venue for entertaining. Located on the shores of Puget Sound, the house is positioned to maximize water views and natural light. A simple elegance unites the interior and exterior elements of the two-story cedar-clad home whose understated palette features custom hardware and steel accents by architect Tom Kundig. The main floor includes the kitchen and dining area, and is essentially one open living space with floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors that open onto two outdoor spaces—a garden patio in front and a rear deck that faces the waterfront.
