Barbee Mill wins three awards for community residences
February 16, 2009 · Updated 6:14 PM
Conner Homes and the Hackworth Group have received Grand Awards for 08 Best Single Family Attached Home, 08 Best Community Facility, up to 150 Units, and 08 Best in the Pacific Northwest Region.
The awards were for the Barbee Mill residential community on Lake Washington just south of Bellevue.
The paired homes are designed with a Northwest contemporary flair that complements the lakefront site. Floor-to-ceiling windows and large decks expand living areas outdoors. On the inside, rich wood and stone finishes reflect the natural surroundings.
The forms and materials for the community clubhouse were inspired by the old sawmill that previously stood on the site, as well as the boathouses that populate the shores of Lake Washington. The Beach Club at Barbee Mill is covered by a single roof plane of exposed timbers and fir decking that is continuous from the inside to outside. The main gathering space is enclosed in glass and anchored by a stone fireplace, and the outdoor room offers plentiful seating, a kitchen, and a large gas grill for gatherings.
The sales office at Barbee Mill is open noon to 5 p.m. daily, by appointment. More information is available at www.lake-washington-living.com or by calling 425.687-5849 or e-mailing barbee@connerhomes.com.
