Schultz Miller worked with architect Nils Finne to transform this traditional, stucco house without diminishing the historical qualities that make it feel at home in its settled Seattle neighborhood. The project involved building a two-story addition, turning a dark attic into livable space with generous dormer windows, and infusing the interior with crafted details designed by the architect.
The homeowners weren’t parking cars in their garage, and their children wanted a fun indoor space for artwork and exercising, especially the daughter who loves gymnastics. So was born the Garage Gym, a playful space designed by architect Margaret Menter.
The remodel of this home in Broadmoor changed everything . . . and nothing. Schultz Miller restored the exterior—we tuck-pointed the masonry, installed a new roof, and painted the windows and trim--but the house’s outward appearance remained unchanged.
For this extensive remodel, architect Rex Hohlbein returned some 20 years later to his own project, a rare opportunity for an architect, and an honor for Schultz Miller to have been chosen as the building partner, although we were not the original builder.
