Clean Lines and Natural Light in Abundance

 

Terri and Jim loved many things about their home but knew there was room for improvement. The kitchen was cut off from the remaining house and was poorly designed, plus had a laundry closet arbitrarily shoved into an underutilized corner. The living room shared a common wall to the kitchen and an upper loft.

The house is wonderfully sited on a large lot filled with mature trees that offer filtered morning and afternoon light. The current floor plan neglected to recognize this important consideration. Hence, establishing a strong visual link from the front yard through the house and into the back yard was a high design priority, as well as connecting the living spaces with a semi-open floor plan, all without increasing the overall footprint of the home. Agate Architecture's completed remodel includes a full kitchen and dining room renovation, a new mud/laundry room, renovation of the second-floor loft, a new staircase, and exterior improvements. The use of Douglas Fir as a main unifying material and simple clean lines lends a bright Pacific Northwest style, with natural light in abundance. Terri and Jim’s home is now a truly exceptional space for everyday use and family entertaining.
