Creekside Contemporary
Issaquah, Washington
Bordered by an active salmon stream, this 5.6-acre property integrates habitat restoration and modern design. Extensive ecological enhancements—rain gardens, swales, and native buffers—improve water quality while creating striking visual features throughout the landscape.
The modern garden, influenced by Japanese design, includes a variety of outdoor living spaces for entertaining, play, and quiet reflection. A concrete-plank terrace with an outdoor kitchen accommodates large gatherings, while a raised deck with a fire bowl overlooks the garden and creek. More intimate seating areas, including a private garden off the master suite, offer secluded retreats within the landscape.
At the entry, a western cedar gate provides security and a sense of arrival, while a flowering meadow along the drive creates a seasonal tapestry that supports pollinators and songbirds. Winding paths connect the garden rooms, inviting exploration across the property’s diverse settings.
