This Kirkland client wanted a garage that would have the same characteristics as his uniquely built home. Sometimes a site presents challenges that those not in the building business just might not expect. Building a garage on a steep hillside covered with trees is not an overwhelming task, but in this case, obtaining permits from the City of Kirkland almost was!

Constructing the garage involved a deep excavation by heavy machinery, to be achieved without disturbing “significant” trees. In addition to the main structure, extensive concrete sidewalks and entry decks were part of the design so that pedestrians can walk up to the home from the street or the new garage. Step by step, the McAdams Remodeling & Design team, led by Job Manager Chris Guempel took the vision from plans to reality.
