An advocate of "organic architecture", Milton Stricker "blended" all his homes to meld with the terrain, vegetation and views, which effectively becomes part of their exterior environment.

The residence embodies the principles learned by Stricker when apprenticing in the Frank Lloyd Wright Fellowship at Taliesin West and discussed in Stricker's book "Design Through Abstraction - The Wright Source to Art and Architecture", which can be read on the website www.MiltonStricker.com.

The gardens surrounding the home were designed by Terry Welch and feature Asian simplicity.

An advocate of "organic architecture", Milton Stricker "blended" all his homes to meld with the terrain, vegetation and views, which effectively becomes part of their exterior environment.

The open spaces and use of refined woods create a warm, timeless ambiance that is the precursor to today's modern designs.

Although built in 1990 this home, sited above Coleman Park in the Mt. Baker neighborhood, is reminiscent of a combined mid- century design and northwest contemporary esthetics.

Representing one of the last designs by Milton Stricker, the residence was in part, drafted by his son Paul since his father's eyesight was failing.

According to the website www.docomomo-wewa.org - "Milton Stricker made a unique impact on the built environment of the Pacific Northwest. Stricker's unique "organic" designs ranged in plan from V-shape to Y-shaped, and used a complex geometric abstraction as expressed in the plans, sections and elevations of his projects."
