A remodel to a 1960s split level home. The original kitchen was enclosed and separated from the rest of the living space. With limited counter space and a dining nook too small to be utilized, the existing space was in need of some improvement. Our design included opening up the walls, replacing and relocating a pantry closet with a built-in cabinet pantry and adding additional countertop area. The footprint of the kitchen remains the same but it feels twice the size as the original.

On the main level, an expanded entry and living room connect the entry walk to the existing living areas.

The original split-level configuration of this home was maintained but the central stairway was rebuilt and exposed to access a new upper floor and rooftop deck with views of downtown Seattle and Mt. Rainier. All opportunities to expose structure were taken on the interior, from uncovering existing wood decking and floor beams to the open wood stair and steel railings. The large cantilevered shed roof provides passive solar shading for interior spaces and preserving exterior siding materials below. Sustainable building strategies and materials were utilized wherever possible throughout the project.
