Hauberg house
Article Abstract:
Art patron and collector John Hauberg commissioned Olson/Sundberg Architects to make a contemporary and informal design for his house in Washington Park, Seattle, WA. To achieve a natural look, the architectural firm blended earth-based materials such as tile and wood to furnish the house interior. It also alloted space in all areas of the house for entertaining guests and holding gatherings. Instead of using big lights and chandeliers, the interior designer used cove lights to achieve a muted effect.
