Introduction
The Triptych Bellevue $79M home is more than just a listing—it’s a defining moment in Pacific Northwest luxury real estate. Designed by acclaimed architect Tom Kundig and located on one of the most coveted stretches of Lake Washington shoreline, the property combines scale, seclusion, and architectural distinction.
Represented by Tere Foster and Moya Skillman of Compass, this Bellevue estate is currently the highest-priced residential listing in the region. It’s already making national headlines. And at the visual center of it all are the photographs captured by Clarity Northwest’s own Tim Van Asselt.
It’s not every day that a property this significant enters the market. Even rarer is the opportunity to document it from behind the lens.
About the Property
At first glance, the Triptych Bellevue $79M home stands out for its clean geometry and striking presence. But what truly sets it apart is its setting and scope. Spanning more than three lush acres and offering approximately 434 feet of flat Lake Washington waterfront, the estate offers a level of privacy rarely available in the Bellevue area.
The name Triptych refers to the home’s three interconnected structures—an intentional architectural gesture that mirrors the property’s blend of art, nature, and function. Designed for entertaining and serene living, the residence includes:
- A lakeside pavilion and private dock
- A sculptural outdoor pool
- A detached gym and wellness retreat
- A custom 10,000+ bottle wine cellar
- Commercial-grade infrastructure and smart home integration
- A residential elevator and expansive open living spaces
This level of detail makes it clear why the listing, offered at $79,000,000 (MLS #2392995), has captured so much attention.
Architectural Vision by Tom Kundig
Architect Tom Kundig is internationally celebrated for designs that bridge architecture and environment. His work often explores movement, material, and the interplay of natural and built forms. The Triptych Bellevue $79M home is a prime example of that philosophy in practice.
Kundig’s hallmark steel and glass forms are present throughout the home. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame expansive views of Lake Washington, while sliding walls and rotating panels allow the space to respond dynamically to the environment. The use of concrete, wood, and exposed steel gives the home a sense of permanence, yet every space remains warm, livable, and deeply human.
By designing the home as a triptych—a series of three volumes that flow into one another—Kundig has created a sense of rhythm and progression that feels both monumental and intimate. The architecture doesn’t just shelter the occupants—it engages them.
Clarity Northwest’s Role
For a listing of this scale and architectural integrity, the visual presentation had to rise to the occasion. That’s why Compass entrusted Clarity Northwest’s Tim Van Asselt to lead the photography.
Capturing the Triptych Bellevue $79M home required an approach that combined editorial storytelling with architectural precision. Tim’s work focused on more than just features. His lens captured:
- The relationship between interior and exterior space
- The detail and craftsmanship of the materials
- The progression of natural light across surfaces and spaces
- The grand scale of the property, particularly through aerial composition
- Intimate moments that express the livability of a world-class estate
These images are now central to the home’s print and digital marketing campaigns. They’ve also appeared in national press coverage, helping shape how this home is seen and remembered.
At Clarity Northwest, we approach each shoot as a creative collaboration. In this case, our goal was to visually interpret not just a luxury residence, but a significant architectural achievement.
