Architecture studio Coates Design is responsible for the modern renovation of this outstanding two-story home located in Seattle, Washington. This spec home was already under construction with the goal of customizing the existing floor plans to better match the owner’s needs.
The project team was tasked with alterations to the interior and adding exterior detailing, working closely with the homeowners and contractor to evaluate costs, the feasibility of products, and detailing options for this project.
Project Highlights:
- Outdoor dining area with built-in BBQ
- Covered awning
- Cedar and fir exterior finishing
- Improved natural lighting
An example of an alteration to the current home was replacing the two large sliding doors with bi-folding doors that open from the corner. This allows for more fluid access between the living room and the outdoor living area.
In addition, this outdoor area was outfitted with a built-in BBQ grill and bench, as well as a custom covered awning allowing this important living space to be used in any weather. The exterior space was finished with cedar and fir for a warm, inviting aesthetic.
What We Love: This incredible project involves the modern renovation of a spec home that now meets the lifestyle needs of its inhabitants. Indoor-outdoor living was maximized courtesy of bi-fold doors, blurring the boundaries between these spaces. This helps to create a harmonious flow for both family living and entertaining. We are loving the outdoor space, with the pops of blue and plenty of space to enjoy cooking, dining and relaxing around the built-in fire pit.
