The Architect.

Tom Kundig: This 1977-built home was re-imagined by Tom Kundig in 2000. Tom is an owner and design principal of Olson Kundig, an award-winning architectural firm based in Seattle with work that spans the globe from museums and wineries to places of worship and residences. Kundig has been the recipient of some of the world's highest design honors, including a National Design Award in Architecture from the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum and an Academy Award in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.  In addition to receiving scores of awards across the globe, Tom's work has appeared in a diverse array of publications including on the covers of The New York Times magazine, ARCHITECT, Architectural Record and Architectural Digest. He has also published three books of his architectural projects: Tom Kundig: Houses, Tom Kundig: Houses 2 and Tom Kundig: Works.  Born in California and raised in Spokane, Washington, with undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Washington, Tom Kundig is locally and internationally known for his elemental approach to design where rugged materials are left in raw or natural states to evolve over time with exposure to the elements, and to human touch.

The Highlands.

While only a 20-minute drive to downtown Seattle, The Highlands feels a world away.  Once you pass through the 24 hour guarded gate, you’ll enjoy a quintessential Pacific Northwest experience.  Nothing quite compares to meandering through the old growth trees, with Puget Sound and the Olympics as a backdrop.  This neighborhood is like no other; designed by the Olmsted Brothers in 1907, this community of 107 homes is spread across 400 splendid acres.  A wonderful mix of privacy and community, this wooded enclave includes walking trails, tennis courts, community swimming pool, private beach access, preschool, chapel and much more.
