Taking advantage of the wooded western sloping site, the design places the main living and entertaining spaces at the upper floor allowing the best views and greatest opportunity for natural light in the spaces most often used.  The bedrooms and utility spaces become sheltered and secluded below.  The main access occurs via a wooden bridge which allows visitors direct entry to the upper living and entertaining spaces while maintaining the privacy and seclusion of the bedrooms below.

The Chae Residence is one of three modern residences in the small Bellevue Westar Development and is a collaboration between e|b schneider architects and YS Built.

Contractor:  YS Built.
