This growing family needed more room than was available in their aging Seattle classic house. They loved their neighborhood and their house, so they decided to add a third floor to their home for their children’s rooms. The challenge was to remain faithful to the style of the house and neighborhood.

Features of the remodel include a small porch off the master bedroom, directly over the new entry porch and third floor bay cantilevers in order to create additional living space. The third floor structural system avoided having to disrupt the existing floor levels below. Roof and window trim details used reflect the arts and crafts style popular when the house was originally built.
