Queen Anne Addition

DESCRIPTION: VISION: PLANNING: DESIGN:

Remodel & Addition Retain stylistic quality of the original 1909 house and provide for family growth. The original, existing attic space did not provide adequate headroom space and the stairs access was substandard.  New spaces at the second floor include (3) bedrooms and (2) bathrooms.  The main floor was remodeled to include a foyer and new open staircase.  The main floor kitchen was completely remodeled in a period appropriate style. The new second floor roof-line was held low at the perimeter and rises steeply. Each dormer contains a bedroom including a special tree-house master bedroom.

Hillside Pavilion

DESCRIPTION: VISION: PLANNING: DESIGN:

Seattle Residential Accessory Structure, 1600 sf, new construction Create a multifunctional pavilion that embraces the dramatic site through balance and tension. Functionally the building provides vast shelving space for the client’s collection. The main floor area is open allowing for large gatherings and flexible gallery-like space.  Additionally, the building flow from indoor to out is through layers of transparency and screen.  The 180° unobstructed Puget Sound view spans the western edge of the project. The building anchors into the hillside with an exposed, board-formed concrete wall. From this concrete spine a steel frame superstructure rises and cantilevers over a natural ravine. The interior volume includes a 17 ft tall display wall accessed by a suspended steel catwalk and 1250 sf of open floor area. The downhill side, facing the view, is an aluminum-framed curtain of glass. All building elements - concrete, steel, stone, glass, metal and wood are layered and exposed in purposeful, as well as coincidental, geometric patterns.
