Architect Gene Zema (born 1926) designed for school teacher Myra Lupton and her husband, Homer. The Lupton House was featured as a "Seattle Times/AIA House of the Month" in 09/1961 and was subsequently voted "House of the Year" for 1961. Glen Hunt produced the landscape design.

Building Notes

In 08/1963, the Seattle Chapter of the American Institute of Architects recognized the Lupton House as one of eight buildings for outstanding design. The design jury consisted of Warnett Kennedy, Executive Director of the Architectural Institute of British Columbia; Donald Lutes of Lutes and Amundson, Springfield, OR; and John Rohrer, architect of Seattle. The jury said of the Lupton House: "The living spaces of this home are uniquely simple and appealing and seem to have been achieved without effort. The unostentatious exterior in its 'woodsy' setting complements its inner sophistication admirably." Architecture / West, vol. 69, no. 1, 01/1963, p 9.)

As of 01/16/2012, the Luptons have lived in this residence since it was built in 1961. DOCOMOMO WeWA presented a tour of the Lupton House on 03/17/2012.
