luxury architect houses for sale Bainbridge Island, United States

Set in the heart of Laurelhurst, one of Seattle's most established lakeside neighborhoods, this thoughtfully designed home blurs the line between inside and out. Originally designed by Perry Johanson, a founding partner of NBBJ, the mid-century residence was later reimagined by Rerucha Studio with Caspers Built, preserving its original timber beams and wood-decked ceilings while opening the interior to light and flow. The open main level steps through walls of glass to the surroundings beyond, framing Lake Washington and glowing evening sunsets. At its center, a chef's kitchen brings together Miele appliances and a Wolf range beneath custom walnut cabinetry, as suited to a quiet morning as to an evening with friends. Just beyond, glass doors off the kitchen open to a sunken patio set atop the garage, where a conversation pit finished in wood, concrete, and steel forms a second living room in the open air, the kind of detail that earned the home a feature in Seattle Magazine. A gated courtyard welcomes you at the entry, while a built-in hot tub anchors a private retreat at the rear. The location speaks for itself; minutes from the University of Washington, Husky Stadium, University Village, and the gardens and trails along Union Bay, with light rail and quick access to the rest of the city close at hand. A refined home in a setting that rarely comes available.

The Secret Garden Residence is a rare new work by Olson Kundig, conceived as a private C-shaped retreat around a garden courtyard and twin reflecting pools. Architecture, landscape and light form a continuous whole. A glass-lined gallery, 10-foot walnut door and Faune limestone flowing from exterior to interior establish a quiet, Japanese-influenced material language. Floating ceiling planes and a deeply cantilevered upper level, its structure concealed within the architecture, capture the home's defining idea: extraordinary complexity engineered to disappear. Floor-to-ceiling glass opens the living spaces to the courtyard. The kitchen pairs rift-sawn walnut with Saratoga Black quartzite. The primary suite feels suspended within the landscape, opening to two terraces; its jewel-box bath is enveloped in Fior di Bosco marble and walnut. Five bedrooms are complemented by a custom walnut-and-blackened-steel library. An exceptionally sophisticated lighting design extends across every fixture, shifting automatically with the daylight outside. Lighting, shades, climate, audio and video are seamlessly integrated, AI- and voice-controlled, minimizing visual clutter. David Ohashi's landscape layers granite boulders, Japanese maples, black pines, bamboo and evergreen screening around the courtyard, reflecting pools and terraces. A singular residence where structure, craft and technology quietly recede, leaving an experience that feels serene, immersive and almost otherworldly.

The main-floor primary suite sits quietly apart from the rest of the home, with its own fireplace and spa-inspired bath, while a dedicated office and a recently added main-level bedroom and bath add flexibility. Below, a fully finished daylight lower level lives like a private residence of its own with second kitchen, rec and bonus rooms, and a wine cellar. Outside, level lawn, mature landscaping, sport court, and expansive deck and patio space create room for summer gatherings or quiet mornings surrounded by green. Minutes to downtown Bellevue, Overlake Golf & Country Club, SR 520, and top-tier Bellevue schools.
