When our clients ask for a remodel to help connect them to their garden, we often take the opportunity to really give the home a style makeover. We take the best elements of the original style of the home to create porches, patios, and decks that really enhance the style of the home and that are easy to to use year round.

This home in Loyal Heights was sweet, but lacked a connection to the garden. Since the owner is a master gardener, the porch addition has made a big improvement. The owners can now access the porch from a sunroom/mudroom as well as from the dining room. Heaters in the trellis make it a great place to hang out almost all year.

This little bungalow in Wedgewood was had only a minimal connection to the backyard, and all the style had been left off the back. We updated it with a covered porch and broad set of stairs leading to a new paved patio. The patio and improved appearance of the home make the backyard a much nicer place to be.

This home in Magnolia was originally designed by historic Seattle Architect Arthur Loveless. Unfortunately the 1960s deck addition was not compatible with the home. The homeowner, also a master gardener, desired a more direct connection to her garden. We designed a compatible waterproof timberframe deck with a patio below it, so the owner could enjoy the view and her garden.
