Addition Over $250,001

Located in a picturesque setting near Lake Sammamish, this project involved transforming a 1960s Dutch-gabled rambler into a sophisticated modern home. 

The clients had a clear vision but welcomed creative input. The primary goal was to expand the living space by adding three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a bonus/media room, along with reconfiguring the existing layout to accommodate a dedicated office and fitness room. Upgrading the kitchen and primary bathroom, as well as enhancing the flow between rooms, were also integral to the project.

The key challenge lay in the irregular floor plan and complex roof structure of the original house. The solution involved integrating the second-story addition with the existing architecture, ensuring harmony in design while maximizing natural light and views. The second-story addition was located at the rear and extended forward to the ridge of the main roof line as seen from the front. By utilizing the fascia of the eaves as structural support for expansive windows, a sleek and contemporary aesthetic was achieved.

All cabinetry was replaced with custom designs, including a stunning 10-foot island in the kitchen, and upgraded fixtures and finishes throughout, including a luxurious soaking tub. The upper-story addition features strategically placed windows that flood the space with light and offer breathtaking views of the surroundings while maintaining privacy.

The result is a home that blends tradition and modernism and will surely be enjoyed by the family of five.
