5917 | Remodel

This early 2000s home was made up of a series of compartmentalized rooms which made for a disjointed floor plan. We opened up the full interior of the main floor to bring in light, improve sight lines, and create opportunities for family connection and generous, flexible entertaining. New Doug Fir glu-lam beams replace the previous bearing walls and are used to organize the revised kitchen, entry and living spaces. The previously heavy and complicated stair was replaced with a new steel and floating wood stair, flanked by a wall of built-ins to provide much needed storage and a threshold for a private den and bathroom. The dining space moved to what was an underused in-between space; the table is now connected to the outside patio and garden through enlarged french doors.
