Designed and built in 1962 by architect Gerald Stark for his family, the original residence occupies a deeply wooded Bellevue site within walking distance of downtown.  The addition/remodel preserves the house's visual hierarchy, reinforces its relationship to the wooded slope, improves daily access, and brings daylight deeper into the home.  The project works through transitions: between old and new, house and forest, family life and independent occupancy, filtered daylight and open sky.
