The Christiansen House ~ Designed by internationally recognized engineer John ‘Jack’ Christiansen and visionary architect Paul Hayden Kirk, two Modernist icons behind many of Seattle’s most iconic structures. This mid-century waterfront residence was crafted by Christiansen as his own home—an architectural embodiment of his life’s work and structural vision. The home is a bold interplay of engineering and art, resting on a series of concrete platforms supported by sculptural columns and crowned by a dramatic thin-shell roof that turns structure into sculpture.Floor-to-ceiling glass blurs the boundary between indoors and out, framing panoramic west-facing views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. The home is set on 2 acres with 175 feet of high-bank waterfront and beach stairs leading to an expansive deck on the bulkhead. An irreplaceable piece of Northwest Modernism, rooted in personal legacy and architectural innovation.
