Looking Glass — A Revitalized Lakefront Retreat
Looking Glass sits on the shore of Lake Washington in Seattle, WA, United States, a reimagined house by Olson Kundig for multigenerational living by the water. The project reworks a 1990s split-level into a modern, family-focused retreat, pairing reflective materials with a calm, lake-ready palette. Inside and out, the composition balances open gathering zones with quieter corners for reading, working, and watching the light move across the lake.
