Seattle, WA | small-scale residential rehabilitation | 1300 sf interior alterations | 1000 sf addition

Arbor is a second-story addition and full interior remodel of a single story 1948 house. Instigated by major damage from a fallen tree, the project turned into an opportunity for the client to realize their longtime vision for their home.  The client’s family of four had outgrown the original house but loved their neighborhood and verdant yard. The project reorganized the main floor to expand kitchen and living spaces and improve indoor-outdoor access. The addition, which essentially doubled the space of the house added new bedrooms, taking advantage of upper level views of Puget Sound, and bathrooms and laundry. The project included a full thermal upgrade to existing spaces and energy efficient products and systems throughout the house.
