"The buildings recall the agricultural forms of the local built environment, but as is our nature in our designs, we sought to take that context and evolve it to a more emphatic modern language. We sought to design something that was exquisitely proportioned in a quiet, agricultural way." –Tom Kundig, Design Principal

Country Garden House | Olson Kundig

The Andersen Architectural Collection’s Eagle windows and doors provide the panes and passageways of the home.

With respect to the sloping meadow, the home is designed to coexist and therefore never breaks the ridgeline.

Snow buries scrub oak trees in front of the home's west elevation.

At night, the quiet drama of the shed roof's angles glows against the darkened forest.

Eric and Melinda purchased a 10-acre plot in rural Yelm, Washington, with visions of a new home on the range. There would be vineyards, gardens, an orchard, bees and chickens—typical country fodder—but they would showcase their design sensibility with a not-so-typical modern abode. Enlisting Matthew Coates of Coates Design, they ended up with a modern home that, while striking, is still a natural fit in the country location. Photo by Lara Swimmer.
