Queen Anne Victorian Remodel

In the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle, we remodeled a small brick home, adding a story, finishing the basement, and creating outdoor spaces for a family of four.
Project Year: 2018
Project Cost: $1,000,001 - $1,500,000
Country: United States
Zip Code: 98109
A modern brick barbecue is part of a welcoming backyard in Seattle. We designed the space to house an outdoor living room, dining room, ktichen, and attractive play space for the kids. Its no surprise that the family spends much of their time in the yard when the weather is good!

Floor plans of the remodeled house that show are main design ideas, including, opening up the main level to connect the communal spaces, connecting strongly to the backyard, creating a backyard patio, generous hallways, and a luxurious winder stair connecting the first and second floor.s

The existing house was a one story brick house sitting atop a rockery on a hill in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle. The clients needed more space for their family, so we kept the same footprint, remodeling the existing home and adding a second story and attic space. The steep pitch of the...
Queen Anne Victorian Remodel Front Elevation
The front walkway up to the home, carefully landscaped to highlight the house and provide some layering to the experience of walking up to the front door. The expansive windows bring warm western light into the living room. The brick was from the original 1929 house
Queen Anne Victorian Remodel Front Yard
We designed the entry to mirror the proportions of the overall house form. A steep gable shelters a welcoming wood door and sidelite. The brick was preserved from the original 1929 house, and we added a story and an inhabitable attic.

Western light pours into the entry, warming up the interior space. A winder stair rises up to the upstairs bedrooms. At the foot of the stairs is a built in bench with storage cubbies. The white oak floors were stained with a dark stain, a stain you often see in older homes. The details are a...

The entry space flows into an open circulation space and the living room. The clients wanted the living room to be this special formal place to receive guests and have a communal but more quiet space. The stained oak hardwood floors continue throughout the main floor, giving continuity to the...
Queen Anne Victorian Remodel Front Entry and Living Room
The stained oak hardwood stair rises up to the bedrooms upstairs next to a built in bench with shoe storage. A very generous 54” wide hall leads to the back portion of the house - a stair down to the basement and a powder room off to the left and the kitchen and family room straight back. The...
Queen Anne Victorian Remodel Stair and Hall
The hall opens up to the main spaces - the kitchen and the family room. A caesarstone kitchen island with space for stool seating allows the kitchen to face toward the family room. White single panel custom cabinets line the north wall of the ktichen, with a stainless steel gas range and hood and...

The generous kitchen with stained oak hardwood flooring and white custom cabinets and trim. The work triangle is tight and functional, while making the aisles wide so that you can have multiple cooks in this kitchen! The deep island with stool seating makes it not just a place for the parents to...

The north wall of the kitchen is loaded up with painted white recessed panel custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. Natural light comes in from the north, south, and east, washing the kitchen with balanced daylight. We like adding a soffit above our main cabinet wall to be able to add...

Looking back at the entry hall from the kitchen, we like to design generous hallways whenever possible, they give not just the hallway, but the whole house a more open feeling. This one is 54" wide.

The formal living room is a clearly defined space, but flows into the living room with views to the family room and out to the stone patio in the backyard. This open floor plan creates visual and physical connections between the spaces in the house and the people inhabiting them, while still...

The formal living room, the front room of the house, the first space you see after you enter the home. This is traditionally a formal space used for hosting guests, and it is no different in this remodeled home. The stone fireplace provides a visual and physical anchor around which the furniture...

The stained oak hardwood winder stair makes its way up to the upper level. North facing windows bring natural light into the stair and hallway. We like designing windows into the stairs because they provide light on both levels, opening up the house. The newel posts, rail, and balustrade were...

The kids bedroom in this home is filled with light, a fun space for the kids to play and rest. The beige walls and white trim help to make a warm, bright space.
Queen Anne Victorian Remodel
The kids bedroom has a built in custom cabinet closet and desk that lines one wall. We pay close attention to the lines of what we design, so that the top of the cabinets line up with the top of the door casing. A dropped soffit allows for space to run services in the house and make a visually...

The upstairs hallway is filled with natural light from the windows in the stair. The stained oak hardwood floors also run throughout the upstairs, making the space warm and durable.

The existing house was narrow, so it was a challenge to lay out the house in a way that felt functional and generous. We were creative in solving these spatial problems, making the bathroom more of a linear layout. The double vanity spans the width of the bathroom while the shower and toilet are...
