to complete all phases
Between 2013 and 2020, we served as architects for a four phase remodel on a house in Madrona originally built in 1922. The house has been remodeled to adapt to a modern lifestyle while preserving the Craftsman character of the house. Each phase brings more space and ease for a busy and growing family. Finishing the basement and brining back an original speakeasy provided a retreat for the family, a new kitchen, and primary ensuite under a new dormer provided all the functional spaces the family needed.
