On the site of an 850-square-foot cottage from the early 1900s, the architects sought to create two new compact, modern, single-family homes in an architecturally conservative area.

The owners wanted a compact single-family home on a sloping site that would afford views of the natural surroundings, including Lake Washington and Mount Rainier.
