Queen Anne Home
This project was a lot of fun! A substantial remodel and addition to a mid-century home in Queen Anne neighborhood in Seattle. Our clients viewed this project as an investment, so their approach was to do it right to get the most value for this property. The history behind this property is a big part of Queen Anne’s 1st residences. This house was the carriage house for the main residence across the street and where we built the wine cellar was actually coal storage back in the day. We demo’d the entire top floor down to the floor on the basement level and rebuilt it adding an extra 3rd story.
We used top of the line materials throughout. We placed kitchen and living spaces on the top floor taking advantage of their stounding view of Seattle.

Exterior-Before
Here you can see the fourth story addition that includes kitchen, dining room, living room and office. This is so that the living spaces can take advantage of the exquisite views this property has to offer. We relocated the bedrooms to the middle and lower floors. the top floor has three 12×12 skylights bringing in natural light on all spaces. The deck is cantalivered structurally without needing a lot of posts blocking the view. The same wood ceiling treatment was extended outside to give continuity. All siding is custom metal with mitored corners with wooden accents bringing the window to life. The attention to detail is shown everywhere including the rounded gutter’s that tie into the design. Landscape is done to accentuate the surroundings and bring the place to life at night with beautiful lighting, greenery and low maintenance.
