This home's original cedar siding was rotted and missing in places, while the original garage was leaking and near collapse. The owners approached the design team with a desire to replace the home's siding and build a new garage that would accommodate both of their cars and allow them to finally be able to open their trunks. In addition, they asked that the garage be naturally daylit and to fit with the legacy of James Stageberg's design.

The new garage exterior retains a familiar form to the home, while allowing the front and back elevations to bring increased daylight to the garage interior. Inside, white-painted walls allow for maximum reflection of daylight from the garage door and clerestory window, while the baltic-birch plywood ceiling adds warmth to complement the cedar siding. Off-the-shelf light fixtures were combined with a custom steel armature to align with reveal joints at the birch panels, while frosted glass above the clerestory windows conceals a linear LED light source.
