Beautiful Houses: Alki Townhomes in Seatle

Posted: 07 May 2010 03:24 AM PDT

Following the success of Fabiano's article 'One of the Most Beautiful Houses I've Ever Seen' and also some requests from our readers, we are proud to announce a new post series here at Abduzeedo, a series about Beautiful Houses. The idea in this series is to show beautiful and inspiring houses. Houses that are remarkable for its design, elegance, elements, concept or simply because they are beautiful. So if you like architecture, interior design and beautifully designed houses, you are at the right spot. Check out this week beautiful house and stay tuned for more...

This week, we present you the amazing Alki Townhomes.

Alki Townhomes is a project by Johnston Architects. They are a highly experienced and talented team who believe that architecture is a language, and like any language, it has rules and conventions. Solving programmatic and functional problems is one of the basic elements of architecture and they work to excel this fundamental level, and at the same time, realize possibilities that transcend the ordinary. The project consists in two townhouses that are located near the beach boardwalk. The houses and their great glass facades are beautiful and stylish. The mix of different shades of wood, glass and steel matched perfectly and gave the house a cozy and unique touch.

Well, this is for sure a place that I would live in! Just loved the whole combinations and simplicity. To read more about the project go to Johnston Architects website. See you next time. :)
