Northwood House

Located in the Northwood neighborhood of Redmond, this existing single-story 1,600 square foot single-family home presents an exciting opportunity for expansion. Both the client and our team recognize the potential to extend the house by retaining half of the existing ground floor, expanding a small portion of the living space on this level, and creating an entirely new story above the existing footprint. Given the low ceiling height of the existing structure, we designed a double-volume space to elevate the spatial quality of the living area. Tall windows have been introduced to this space to enhance the quality of daylight, creating a bright and airy environment. This approach allows for a harmonious blend of the original structure with modern design, optimizing the use of space while enhancing the home's functionality and aesthetic appeal.
