Seward Park Whole House Remodel
This project transformed a Seattle residence into a nearly brand-new home for a retired architect relocating from Northern California. With bold design choices and a keen eye for detail, the homeowner embraced a style-forward approach while prioritizing functionality and code compliance.
The remodel included significant changes, retaining only the original foundation while reinforcing it to support an entirely new second story. A new roof with vaulted ceilings elevated the home’s spacious feel, complemented by a glass railing system that keeps the lower level open, airy, and full of light.
Practical upgrades included thoughtful storage solutions, easy-to-clean floating vanities, and a modern kitchen featuring a 48” range and built-in refrigerator. To enhance curb appeal and functionality, retaining walls and front stairs were added, along with pervious driveway pavers that allow grass to grow. Gravel pits below the parking areas manage stormwater naturally, ensuring mud-free, off-street parking while adhering to lot coverage and building codes.
The result is a stunning, functional home that reflects the homeowner’s bold style while offering modern, efficient living spaces for their new chapter in Seattle.
