Seattle, Washington

Our goal was to create a family home for the next hundred years that worked with the proportions of the established neighborhood. By remodeling the existing first floor and adding a wholly new second story, the result represents a perfect union of architectural refinement, superior craftsmanship, urban intelligence, and environmental sensibility.

We managed to overcome the many challenges in this 1903 house and stay within our goal of $190/square foot. Only the third remodel to earn Built Green's 5-Star designation, this project is "the most extensive and efficient use of salvaged materials" that the Built Green verifier had ever seen.
