Northeast Seattle Home Addition & RemodelThe client wanted to double the square footage of this house to make rooms for everyone in the family. This gave us the opportunity to seamlessly change the character from a modest rambler to a Classic Seattle Box, adding gracious porches, balconies and eaves. The main floor was also opened up to expand the kitchen, add bathrooms, and transform dining and living rooms to suit the growing family.

Great Room/Kitchen Concept Sketch

Historic Keil House AdditionAurora, Oregon

The challenge for this project was to provide a sensitive Great Room addition for this historically significant house, built in 1873, and listed on the National Historic Register, as well as documented by the Historic American Building Survey (HABS). This is the distinguished Keil homestead, named for the founding family of the Aurora Colony in Oregon. The kitchen for the house was in the basement, as was typical for the time. The client understandably wished to serve meals more conveniently on the main level. The approach taken was to create a cottage behind the house, separate yet connected by a cheerfully glazed solarium. The original back porch was therefore moved from its original location and repositioned to create the front porch for the new cottage. Since there was none, the garage was tucked under the new addition, afforded by a convenient natural slope on the site. The plan includes a new sitting area, powder room, interior stair to the garage and green house, and a modern kitchen, which can easily serve both buildings. The interior detailing derives much of its character from the existing spare but noble proportions of the original house.

Restoration Drawing: South Elevation

Bungalow Restoration in Ravenna, Seattle

The approach for this 1923 Craftsman Bungalow project was to restore a badly disfigured porch, introduce a new fence and landscape on a busy street, and take advantage of an unfinished basement. The intent was not to insist on imposing 21st century fashion for the new construction, but evoke the spirit of the original design. The new drawings were done by hand--lead on vellum--a disappearing technology appropriate to the size, scale and feeling for this project.
