Like many houses in Seattle, this home had not been provided much love over the years, and really needed a major refresh. As part of a phased remodeling plan, the front and two sides of the home were redesigned and remodeled to provide an updated and more attractive appearance. The rear of the home was not modified to allow for future plans to remodel the kitchen and bath, which will require moving windows and doors.

Every project has its unique challenges and this project was no exception. The Owners expressed a strong desire to source green and local materials where possible. We examined each specified product in the home, from the finish applied to the metal roof, to the specific type of insulation blown into the walls and installed in the attic. With an eye for low maintenance we specified a fiberglass entry door that has a very convincing vertical wood grain (very similar to VG Fir). Other exterior materials like stucco where chosen for their appearance and durability.
