Designed in 1968 by architect James "Jim" Miller of the renowned Zaik-Miller partnership as a residence for his own family, this Northwest Modern home is a masterclass in site-responsive design. Built on a unique lot, it was profiled in Northwest Magazine in 1969 for its elegant resolution of terrain. The split-level layout embraces elevation changes while maintaining a clean, sculptural flow, with natural materials and subtle shifts in volume that exemplify Pacific Northwest modernism.Inside, the floor plan follows the contours of the site—thoughtful, layered, and full of light. The main level flows from the living room through the dining area and kitchen to a family room that opens to the outdoors. A generous deck extends into the trees, framing a peaceful forested view, while downstairs, five bedrooms including a corner primary suite with its own bath, walk-in closet, and private deck, are arranged along a central hallway. A loft studio tucked above the kitchen adds a playful architectural moment.The home’s original front door, a design of mid-century artist Evelyn Ackerman, connects Northwest modernism to the broader West Coast design legacy. Throughout, the material palette is warm and intentional: laminated hemlock ceilings, rough-sawn cedar walls, fir windows, and 100% vertical grain old-growth cedar shakes.James Miller’s work, spanning both private residences and landmark preservation projects, was grounded in a deep connection to place, proportion, and material honesty. This home stands as a quietly powerful expression of that ethos, where architecture and landscape remain in dialogue with forested trails at your feet, cherished parks nearby, and top-tier schools and city life just beyond.
