TO ACCOMMODATE THEIR GROWING FAMILY, THE OWNERS OF A MID CENTURY HOME IN SEATTLE’S RAVENNA NEIGHBORHOOD SOUGHT A SECOND-STORY ADDITION THAT SEAMLESSLY UPDATED THE EXISTING HOUSE WHILE RESPECTING THE SURROUNDING URBAN FABRIC.
TO MAXIMIZE THE NATURAL LIGHT IN THE ADDITION, THE NEW GABLE ROOF INCLUDES MULTIPLE SKYLIGHTS. THIS ENHANCED DAYLIGHTING CARRIES TO THE MAIN LEVEL AND ILLUMINATES THE SLAT WALL THAT DEFINES THE NEW STAIR.
THE NEW PRIMARY SUITE’S EAST FACING FACADE CONTAINS ABUNDANT OPPORTUNITIES TO LET IN MORNING SUNLIGHT, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY AFFORDING VIEWS OF THE BACK YARD AND GREENERY.
