BLACK SHEEP REMODEL

The remodel of a 1921 West Seattle bungalow integrates the living, kitchen and dining areas, and better connects the home to its green spaces for indoor outdoor living.

  • As is common with workforce housing of the era, the house was a simple rectangle comprised of compact and separate rooms ill-suited to contemporary living. Moreover, several additions had carved up and further separated the living, kitchen, and dining rooms. The team joined them, both visually and spatially by replacing walls with a screen and casework.

    In place of bearing walls, a strategically placed column anchors a new cooking island and pins the three spaces together through a necessary structural element. The result is visual permeability throughout the house, from front to back and yard to yard, while also bringing light into the house throughout the day. This also solved for a second central goal of the homeowners, which was to better connect the home to both its front and rear yard.
