A Lakeshore home maximizes its site and views

SEATTLE architect MAXIMIZES lakefront SITE

This full renovation adds space to support dynamic family life—places to work, play, entertain, and exercise. Programmatic additions include a second-floor music room and a third-floor family/media area opening up through a ghost door to expansive views, a kitchenette, a small gym, an office, and a pocket art studio. A bright, double-volume wall of glass in the staircase seamlessly connects floors and is topped with a skylight.

The kitchen’s neutral palette includes soft-close, white oak cabinets with custom panel details, honed quartz countertops, and a solid surface backsplash. A landing on the second floor offers a special moment to enjoy the green roof, with abundant daylight from glazing and a skylight, before entering the music room.  Glazing and outdoor living spaces allow the architecture to feature the views of Lake Washington.
