MERCER ISLAND RESIDENCE
Mercer Island, Washington

The exterior of this mid-century Mercer Island residence had been completely updated with new Parklex® siding, new windows and doors, and a fresh paint scheme.

The owners also wanted to better define the entry of the home. A new steel canopy was designed to contrast with the natural wood siding of the home. The canopy is constructed of steel C-channels which are warped to give the canopy a more sculptural feel. Steel decking on the underside of the roof adds to the industrial appearance of the sculptural canopy design and reflects light in various ways during the day and at night. The canopy appears to be supported by a single steel column which pierces the stone paving.
