Schuchart Residence
Seattle, Washington

A single family residence which won the 2005 AIA Honor award recognizing excellence in architecture. The structure is one story with exposed wood rafters supported by steel beams and columns. The lateral system incorporates conventional shear walls, hardy frames, and cantilevered columns. Structural connections are hidden utilizing knife plates, which allow exposed beam connections without the bulky look of hardware at the ends. The living room incorporates a mono-pored concrete fireplace and chimney which adds to the sleek design of the whole structure.
