Roofing Material - Kudos on the house. Really beautiful and smart. May I ask what you used for roofing material. Is it an adhered synthetic membrane? And how do you deal with thermal bridging ; the exterior soffit seems to flow into the building! »

TrockWorks Architectural Services Yeah, I was hoping for a magician to tell me how he did his magic trick! Thanks for writing. : )

Budget ballpark - I love the NW style you use in your design. I am in the process of getting my funding together for a remodel of a 30x28 bungalow in Ballard. We plan on adding either a 16x30 addition off the back or just go up a floor. I want to transform the look of our boring house into something like this picture with a shed style roof and the combined use of wood, steel, glass and stone. What can I expect to spend on that type of project? Can NW contemporary be "affordable"? »

ballardtyler Thanks. I will send you an email. We are currently trying to establish our budget. Our family has outgrown our house so we need to add some sq/ft. My grandfather was a local mid-century style architect with so I grew up with an appreciation that look. I still really love mid-century but generally lean more towards what I consider NW Contemporary. I know my taste and dreams exceed my budget so I want to see what I can do. We are probably working with a $125K-$150K total budget for our project. I attached an image of our house if you want to throw out any suggestions. The footprint in 30' wide by 28' deep.

Coates Design Architects Seattle great!....hope to hear from you soon. we can talk scope and possible phasing if needed, though you should be able to make a significant improvement with that budget....depending on how much you want to accomplish.

Steps - Where can I find plans to build steps that go around the 90degree corner like on the Knowles deci »
· Comment · 12 months ago
Coates Design Architects Seattle hi - thanks for your inquiry! unfortunately there are no special plans per se...the treads and risers are simply mitered at the corner so they effectively wrap around...hope this helps!
11 months ago ·
msalkeld I wonder why the tread on the steps is so narrow, the steps look very steep. I like a minimum 12" tread for safety and comfort.

how do you address the drainage issues? - I love this design with the extended brow roof. I am concerned that on my property because I live on a hillside that rainwater will saturate the hillside on the back side of the house. The land has been graded and compacted so should I be without worry ( during the unusually heavy rainstorms approx. six years agoI had a mudslide due to the fact that the previous owners had a retaining wall that was not structural in the back. It was basically floating on the dirt)? »

Coates Design Architects Seattle the gutters lead to downspouts - the downspouts take all roof water into a localize (buried) sump that infiltrates into the nearby soil.

aes13 Love the look of this home!
Are those external gutters on the fascia of the flat roof section? If so, where did you get them and what are their dimensions? Thanks for your help!

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Another Seattle residence illustrates how roof overhangs are often linked to abundant glass at the exterior wall and outdoor space below. This example is pint-size compared to the previous two Pacific Northwest ones, so it's good to see that these roofs can happen at various scales.
added by Lindsey M. Roberts to Roof Overhangs Project Lower Energy Costs
Large roof overhangs on a house by Coates Design Architects in Seattle do more than put a modernist stamp on the structure. They also protect it from the Pacific Northwest's driving winter rain and mitigate hot summer sun.
1. Hire a pro. Consider hiring a pro to take a look at your home and offer advice. One morning spent with a home inspector, a real estate agent or a local designer can give you insight into what potential buyers will see when they look at your home — and can save you money in the long run.
