Kirkland/Juanita Residence
While this home was one of the first new construction homes that Bellan Construction built, it is important to include in this group of projects based on the architect – Wendell Lovett. Wendell Lovett is an icon in the Pacific Northwest having received many awards and recognition during his over 40 years of practice. He graduated from the University of Washington with his undergraduate degree and from MIT with his graduate degree. With a group of architects, he participated in the development of the unique residential community in Bellevue known as Hilltop – where he built his first residence. This community thrives today with a group of homeowners who continue to preserve the beauty of this special 50’s Modern development adhering to the original covenants put in place by the group Wendell Lovett was a part of. Bellan Construction is proud to have been involved the remodel of over six of the residences located in this special community. The Wendell Lovett designed home shown here was designed during the period Mr. Lovett was a full professor at the University of Washington maintaining an independent private practice. This home ended up receiving an AIA Honor Award. The result of great design and craftsmanship combined with impeccable maintainence by the owners is exemplified in this project. Basically this 20 year old home looks as though it is brand new.
