The genesis of this project was a failed reclad, completed five years prior to our involvement and already leaking. This Seattle couple came to us concerned about water damage, heat gain and ventilation issues. The dated, “builder’s special” look of the house was the last straw.

We removed damaged materials, cleaned up the structure, and wrapped the entire house in a rainscreen skin of metal, cedar and fiber-cement board. New windows and doors provide natural ventilation, light, and expansive views. The architectural details knit it all together.

Interior updates create a cohesive space that provides space to show off the owners’ growing art and midcentury furniture collection.

Bright color and durable materials meshed with passive green design strategies to transform a soggy gray box into a house our clients and their family love again.
