...lifeguard's tower: those were the modest requirements for Newcastle Beach Park in Bellevue, Wash. The buildings designed by Jones & Jones architects of Seattle manage to be sensible without being banal. They are charmingly appropriate to the region (wooden board and batten exteriors, exaggerated overhanging eaves) without being simply Hansel- and-Gretelish.
