Hello March!
Light Changes Everything. Seattle’s “big dark” is finally loosening its grip. The days are stretching. The light lingers. And with it comes that familiar reminder: in this city, light changes everything.
After months of gray skies and early sunsets, we’re reminded how much sunlight, windows, and expansive views shape the way we live. A home that captures the morning glow or frames a winter treetop view doesn’t just look better — it feels better.
Recently Closed — Designed for the Light
Paul Hayden Kirk | Hilltop A classic Northwest modern with expansive vistas — architecture that celebrates its surroundings rather than competes with them. Buyers responded immediately to the way the home embraced its setting.
Woodinville Acreage Over an acre surrounded by trees, where filtered light and privacy create a true sense of retreat. Even in winter, the connection to landscape carried emotional weight — a reminder that outlook matters year-round.
As we step into longer days, here’s to homes that invite the light in — and to finding the one that feels right when it does.
Spring is here. Let’s make the most of it.
–Matt

Modernism, Minimalism & A Little Magnolia.
This month on the ModernaeBlog: Desert Modernism through Wallpaper’s lens, my own Magnolia Mid-Century featured in The New York Times, and 20 minimalist kitchens that prove simplicity is anything but boring. From climate-driven architecture to clean-lined interiors, it’s a reminder that the best modern spaces respond to place — and let light, materials, and proportion do the talking.

From Palm Springs to Seward Park, I continue to be inspired by so much, including: Cary Grant’s former desert estate — a four-residence compound anchored by its iconic MCM pool house, recently featured in Architectural Digest — proves the timeless allure of indoor-outdoor living; while an updated I. Mervin Gorasht home overlooking Lake Washington reminds us that Northwest modernism carries that same spirit in a cooler, more restrained register. Different settings. Same modern DNA.
