west seattle addition

This West Seattle Craftsman sits on a double lot surrounded by extensive gardens. As their family evolved, the owners sought additional living space while remaining committed to the character and scale of the historic home they cherished.

​

The proposed design focused on maximizing the connection between house and garden, with expansive windows overlooking the landscape, washing the interior space with natural light. While an earlier concept explored a two-story addition, the project ultimately evolved into a more modest single-story solution that better aligned with the owners' goals and preserved the home's original presence.

​

Careful attention was given to integrating the new work with the old—taking cues from the existing architecture, reusing salvaged materials, and incorporating a historic window that had been saved from an earlier renovation. The result is an addition that honors the home's history while creating space for the family's next chapter.

​

This project was completed while working with Alexandra Immel Residential Design.
